New "Kahnversations" Podcast with
Actor 
Matt Czuchry!

Matt Czuchry graduated from College of Charleston with Summa Cum Laude honors, and B.A degrees in the disciplines of both History and Political Science.  In his senior year at the College, Matt was presented with The Bishop Robert Smith Award.  This award is the highest honor given to a graduating senior and represents valued contributions in academics, sports, and leadership within the Charleston community.

Throughout his acting career from 1999-present, Matt has worked alongside Oscar winners, Tony winners, and Emmy winners.  And during that time, Czuchry has found a way to make his own mark on the arts. For his work on The Resident, Czuchry was honored in 2020 with the Entertainment Weekly/SCAD Maverick Award. The Resident has also been nominated for two Teen Choice Awards, and Matt has been nominated for three Teen Choice awards for his work as Logan Huntzberger in the series Gilmore Girls.  For his work on The Good Wife (where ironically Matt played a lawyer with exceptional Law School Admission Test scores) he was nominated for three consecutive Screen Actors Guild Ensemble Awards in 2011, 2012, 2013, he won the Entertainment Weekly Best Supporting Actor Award in 2011, and Czuchry was also selected to both The Hollywood Reporter and Variety Magazine’s prestigious Emmy Contenders list for 2015. 

Czuchry’s Charleston education came to a pinnacle in 2018 when he gave the commencement address to that year's College of Charleston graduating class.  His commencement address was noted in Teen Vogue as one of the standout speeches of 2018 along with Oprah Winfrey and Apple CEO Tim Cook.  That same year the College of Charleston recognized Matt with an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.  This humbling honor completed Matt’s journey from college graduate with crap LSAT scores and an unclear path forward, to an established actor contributing on the highest level to the arts.

A Massachusetts native, Andy attended Suffolk University in Boston for four years of undergrad and two years of graduate school earning a Masters in Criminology and Law and Public Administration.  It wasn’t until after graduation that Andy realized, yes, he wanted to be a cop, but he kinda sorta just wanted to play one on T.V.

After a few years of trying to find his footing, Andy started to work consistently. Most notably, he was a series regular on Mindy Kaling’s NBC comedy series CHAMPIONS. He has also had recurring roles on SINGLE PARENTS, ANIMAL KINGDOM, THE MICK, and AQUARIUS. And soon you will see him in the HULU limited series LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE. Other credits include, WILL & GRACE, CODE BLACK, YOUNG & HUNGRY, AMERICAN WOMAN, THE ARRANGEMENT, 2 BROKE GIRLS, ROSEWOOD, NCIS and BONES.

Christina Vidal was born and raised in Whitestone, Queens, New York. The youngest child of Puerto Rican parents Josephine and Manuel, Vidal always marched to the beat of her own drum. She began acting by chance when her junior high school teacher gave her a flyer for an open audition in the film LIFE WITH MIKEY.  Eventually, Christina landed the lead role with Michael J. Fox and achieved two milestones: her professional debut and becoming the first Puerto Rican child actress to play a lead in an American film. For high school, Christina attended the Performing Arts School of New York. Vidal was just getting started. She has since appeared in many television series and specials, holding both series lead and series regular roles. Vidal is often known for her performance in the title role of Nickelodeon’s TAINA which ran for two seasons. She later went to star in FREAKY FRIDAY opposite Lindsay Lohan (2003) and SEE NO EVIL (2006). Most recently, Vidal starred in the NBC Pilot CURSE OF THE FUENTES WOMEN and also held roles in CODE BLACK, LIMITLESS, and BLUE BLOODS. She now goes on to join the cast of TRAINING DAY.

A woman of many talents, Christina is also known for her musical inclinations. She has collaborated with such artists as Will Smith, Jade Villalon, and Sabrina Bryan of the Cheetah Girls. She has also contributed songs for the soundtracks of FREAKY FRIDAY, TAINA, and BYOU.

In her spare time, Christina enjoys watching films; particularly those starring Julia Roberts, Ashley Judd, Sally Field, Al Pacino, and Jack Nicholson. Not solely limited to the silver screen, she can also be found binge watching DOWNTOWN ABBEY and FRIENDS. Christina loves salsa dancing, cooking for her family, and interior decorating. Her sisters Lisa and Tanya Vidal are also actors who have appeared on TV and in theatre. Her brother Christian, the only boy, rounds out her tight-knit family of 6.
