Meet the Cast of Workshop

Jeff Reynolds/Co-Creator/Producer: Nate Golon

Nate Golon graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Speech Communications and was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity at Colorado State University. Nate moved to Los Angeles at the beginning of 2006, and studied at the Larry Moss Studio for several years with Michelle Danner, who he credits with making him the actor he is today. Nate led an ensemble cast in the 2007 industry showcase, Scene Bites, at the Larry Moss Studio, and co-starred in several independent feature films, national commercials and plays in 2008. In January and February 2009 he starred as the leading role in Harold Pinter's "A Night Out" at the Edgemar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica, and then co-created and co-produced "WORKSHOP" with Kimberly Legg from March through July 2009. Nate is grateful for the struggles he had through the first three years in Los Angeles, where he felt like he should have been booking projects left and right, because those struggles led to the creative energy of creating "WORKSHOP". Nate's goals are to become a household name as a wildly successful actor, producer, and writer, and to later in life take his fortune and notoriety and become a Goodwill Ambassador to the United States. Nate would like to thank Mari and his family for being the greatest support system in the world!

Kaitlyn Murray/Co-Creator/Producer: Kimberly Legg

Kimberly grew up in the small unincorporated area of San Mateo County known as Ladera. After high school, Kimberly attended UCLA, graduating this past year with a Bachelor's degree in Musicology. She is an avid musician, classically trained in piano and voice. She also plays jazz trombone, clarinet, and saxophone. Kimberly played in both the Big Band and Latin Jazz ensembles at UCLA and has also sung in the UCLA Chorale under the direction of Donald Neuen for the past few years. After graduating from UCLA, Kimberly decided to focus her time on her main passion: acting. In addition to studying with the Groundlings, she has starred in local plays and student films. She met Nate in March and soon after WORKSHOP was born. Kimberly would like to thank her dad for being the best daddy ever and inspiring her with the music and films of his generation. She would also like to thank her sister Marion for always being there for her as well as her mom and the rest of her family and friends. Oh and Zack... for making the website and being a silly head, yada yada yada. Kimberly is so pleased to have worked with such a great cast and crew on "WORKSHOP" and looks forward to even more fun and shenanigans!

Role of Adam Saltair: Phillip Jeanmarie

Phillip Jeanmarie is a native of Los Angeles and former graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (West). Soon after completion of A.A.D.A., he landed a series regular role as Max Cooper the blue power ranger on Power Rangers Wild Force. However, he's most recognized for his dual roles on Passions playing Vincent Clarkson, a sleazy tabloid journalist who seeks revenge on the whole town of Harmony by disguising himself in a half man- half woman costume better known to Passions fans as "The Blackmailer". His other television credits include: Everwood, Crossing Jordan, Clubhouse, E.R., and C.S.I.

Role of Vivian Smith: Leanne Wilson

Leanne is a British born actress best known back in the U.K for the BBC1 Medical Drama series 'Casualty', which she starred in for three years. She has also appeared in many other shows back home for the BBC, including a series regular role in 'Doctors' and 'New Tricks'. She shot a sci-fi series in Canada called Tracker in which she was also a series regular. Just before leaving England she shot a pilot comedy series and has just booked an episode of 'Better Off Ted' on NBC - acting with an American accent! This was Leanne's first experience working on a web-series and enjoyed the fun of playing Vivian!

Role of Matthew Cunningham: Jonathan Schwartz

Jonathan Schwartz graduated from Bucknell University where he studied Theater and Business and acted in many plays and local films and commercials. He moved to Los Angeles last September to pursue acting full time. In addition to his part in this web series, you can see Jonathan in a more compelling, dramatic role as the starving 20-something begging his parents to send more money. In all seriousness though, Jonathan would like to thank Kimberly Legg and Nate Golon for all their hard work and including me in this project, as well as Zack Schultz for setting up this sweet website. And, of course, Al Gore for inventing the interent and providing us a medium in which to showcase our comedy. Enjoy!

Role of Sarah Clarkson: Audra Marie
