New "Kahnversations" Podcast with
Actor 
Ashton Holmes!

Ashton just finished an arc on Amazon’s 6th season of Bosch which, as of April 17th, is now streaming. He recently shot the independent feature, ACTS OF VIOLENCE opposite Bruce Willis, Mike Epps & Sophia Bush. He can also be seen on BET’s BEING MARY JANE, opposite Gabrielle Union. Previously, Ashton was seen in IMPERFECTIONS opposite Zach McGowan as well as independent feature PASADENA opposite Peter Bogdanovich, Cheryl Hines and Alicia Witt. Prior to this, he starred in the CBS pilot ONLY HUMAN opposite Jamie Lee Curtis, and the ABC pilot RECKLESS for executive producer / director Martin Campbell. One of Ashton’s most critically acclaimed TV performances was playing the villainous Tyler Barroll on the first season of ABC’s hit show REVENGE. Also, on the small screen was his memorable performance as Sydney Phillips in the Emmy winning HBO miniseries THE PACIFIC, executively produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. His other credits include the CW’s NIKITA, the CW's ARROW, ABC’s BOSTON LEGAL, the independent feature PEACEFUL WARRIOR starring Nick Nolte, SMART PEOPLE opposite Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker and Ellen Page for Miramax, and WINDCHILL starring alongside Emily Blunt and produced by Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney. Ashton is probably best known for his breakout performance opposite Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello and Ed Harris in David Cronenberg's A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE for Newline.

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.
