He soon moved on to appear in various independent feature films such as Valley of Ditches, Among Thieves, and The Take Out Move, as well as films with schools such as NYFA, ACCD, and LASF.

Yearning for a new challenge, he decided to get back into theater, after being away from it for a few years. Always, looking for the next adventure, Jeremy strives to put the utmost realism into every single performance he gets the opportunity to have. Check him out online at www.jeremysless.com.

Nick Grace
The Michigan native is making his Los Angeles theater debut after starring in the yet to be released indie-feature The Take Out Move as 'Davis', in the pilot Thanks For Trying as 'Evan' and in a Corona commercial holding multiple beers. He's been in too many web series and short films to mention but he loves them all equally. He studies at John Rosenfeld Studios.

Chris Clabaugh
Chris found stage acting in 5th grade when he slid into a desk and forgot his line. Ever since then hes kept coming back. He did standup at ASU and has now widened to acting here in LA.

All thanks go to his Gordon family.
