In this episode of "Kahnversations," we interview Timothy Davis.

Timothy Davis is an actor & writer probably best known as Chef Ryan on the hit showtime series, BILLIONS. he is the lead of the upcoming independent film DOE, also starring oscar-winner mira sorvino and Tatyana Ali from FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR. 

He made his professional television debut as many new york actors do: getting shot in the face on LAW AND ORDER, in his case special victims unit, and made his professional film debut in Steven Soderbergh’s THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE. 

He’s been a student at Lesly Kahn’s for over six years and a teacher here for way less than that, he’s a lifetime member of the actors studio and a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu.

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.
