Kevin Arthur Hart
Hello, I am a native of the Pacific Northwest, born and raised in and around Seattle, Washington. I love life and am very blessed to have such wonderful gifts. In the last several years things have really opened up for me. I own and operate an auto body shop and have for many years.
I have been acting for 8 years, with most of my work having been done in the last 3 years. Launching my acting career was a featured role in The Learning Channel’s series; “Unnatural History: Witches and Vampires”. It was an awesome experience and since that time I have gotten formal training from Colleen Patrick, who is an acting/life coach, and writer/director. She has helped me a great deal. I have gotten more than half the roles I have auditioned for and attribute that to being genuine and true to my Self. I love to develop characters and collaborate with great people to create great works. I have been an actor in many local films in the last couple years.
I am also a drummer in the local rock band project called “Be My Grave”. Writing, recording and performing original rock music is what we do. I love playing and performing for people.
I make time to practice Yoga regularly and the most important thing to me in life is nurturing and expanding my True Self and evolving as a spiritual being. I would define success as "Being Present".

Jenny Lin
A former Seattle Chinatown pageant winner, Jenny took a break from the entertainment industry to work in a Fortune 500 software and media company as a SQL Server database administrator. After nearly a decade in the corporate world she proved that women could excel in a male-dominated industry and decided to seek the next challenge, which is a newfound passion for acting.
Within the span of three months she went to 33 auditions and got 6 roles. She did not tell the casting directors that she was still in the middle of taking two introductory-level to acting classes. (Tony Doupe’s ‘On Camera One’ course and Darragh Kennan’s Freehold Theater course) She diligently recorded every audition and expenditure detail in a spreadsheet along with notes on what could be improved for the next audition. She volunteered for script readings, extra roles, HD video clip ads, psychology video podcast interviews and was even a coffee assistant for a casting director.
Just recently she realized that, ‘all publicity is free publicity’ and in two weeks convinced 9 photographers to work with her for at no cost in exchange for enhancing their portfolios. As a result she is featured on many of their websites.
Jenny’s work ethic in all aspects of life can be attributed to the following quote from Winston Churchill. ‘Success is nothing more than going from failure to failure with undiminished enthusiasm.’
