Kahnversations Podcast 2.0

In this episode we talk with Lauren Buglioli, Los Angeles born actor who dishes about her role in Florida Man and the torture of going through a long process to get that juicy role, and the axiom "what is meant for you, is meant for you," no matter how impossible it may seem, and how gratitude got her through. Working with legends and being gracious no matter how successful you are was a big takeaway, and many more gems.

George asks, “If your headshot has a caption, what would it say?” You will want to hear the answer...

Lauren has most recently been noted for her roles in FLORIDA MAN (2022), BAD MONKEY and A JAZZMAN’S BLUES (2022). Social Media @lauren_buglioli


In Kahnversations you’ll hear interviews with some of Lesly Kahn & Company’s working actors, directors, and writers. The goal: de-mystifying career trajectories and talking through those moments where everything shifted.

We’ll learn how they got their start in Hollywood, the challenges and hurdles they faced, and how they overcame the odds, not to mention dish some juicy stories! Listen in and enjoy as these entertainers speak candidly about their path, process, and experiences, and about how Lesly and the Kahnstitute have influenced and shaped their careers. Also, did we mention Lesly impersonations…?

Our new hosts (also LK&Co actors!) have a cool, free-flowing vibe that we know you will enjoy. George Twopointoh (IG @twopointoh and georgetwopointoh.com) and Patrice Covington, Emmy award winning actress-singer-speaker (@patricecovington on social media) joyfully guide the Kahnversation.

We took a pandemic pause but now weeeeee’rrrrrre baaaaaaaaaack! With new hosts, new guests, and a new feel, we are thrilled to bring you Kahnversations 2.0.

REEEEMIIIIIXXXXX!

In our first episode back, we talk with Emmett Skilton, a New Zealand-born actor, director, and screenwriter, and beloved Kahnstitute actor. He shares the wild ride of filming and directing during a pandemic, how they filmed intimate scenes during the no contact phase of lockdown, and other tales of New Zealand filming fun. He also absolutely slays his Lesly impersonation.

Emmett Skilton has worked in over 50 productions in film, television and theatre. He is best-known for his role as Axl Johnson in the television series THE ALMIGHTY JOHNSONS. Emmett has acted in various large-scale film and television productions, with roles in James Cameron’s AVATAR 2, feature film TOGETHER FOREVER TEA, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s new comedy series YOUNG ROCK. Behind the scenes, Emmett has developed his passion for writing and direction, co-creating award-winning series’ AUCKWARD LOVE and Instagram comedy MILLENIAL JENNY alongside his fiancée Holly Shervey, and directing over 70 episodes of New Zealand’s premiere show, SHORTLAND STREET.


We've all heard the stories from block buster actors. In Kahnversations, you’ll hear interviews with some of Lesly Kahn & Company’s working actors, directors, and writers. Folks who have just broken through, not yet to wild star status, but they aren't bartending either (probably). The goal: de-mystifying career trajectories and talking through those moments where everything shifted. 

We’ll learn how they got their start in Hollywood, the challenges and hurdles they faced, and how they overcame the odds, not to mention dish some juicy stories! Listen in and enjoy as these entertainers speak candidly about their path, process, and experiences, and about how Lesly and the Kahnstitute have influenced and shaped their careers. Also, did we mention Lesly impersonations…?

Our new hosts (also LK&Co actors!) have a cool, free-flowing vibe that we know you will enjoy. George Twopointoh, producer of the podcast (IG @twopointoh and georgetwopointoh.com) and Patrice Covington, Emmy award winning actress-singer-speaker, and writer and performer of our theme song (@patricecovington on social media) joyfully guide the Kahnversation.

There are so many inspiring podcasts with fabulous stars out there. But their careers feel light years away from ours, don’t they? Wouldn’t it be great to hear from the guy who just booked his first pilot? Or the kid finally doing a studio pic after a bunch of low budget indies? Or the woman who’s been a series regular a few times but is only now becoming a name? What about the guy who’s been on a show for years and you know his face but what’shisnameagain? Or that actress who is now a freakin’ showrunner???? How’d THEY do it, right? How did they transition from relative obscurity, bartending and bottle service, to buying that house in Brentwood? We’re producing “Kahnversations,” a podcast that provides access to THOSE people -- your immediate predecessors -- so that you can learn from them while their battle scars are still fresh.


In “Kahnversations,” our own Ryan Bailey interviews some of Lesly Kahn & Company’s working actors, directors, and writers in order to learn how they got started in Hollywood, the challenges and hurdles they faced, and how they overcame the odds. (They also dish out some crazy stories!) Listen in and enjoy as these entertainers speak candidly about their paths, processes, and experiences. You might even hear a bit about how Lesly and the Kahnstitute have influenced and shaped their careers.
