interview
Interviews with a top geek advocate, celebrity, and icon about their current and past geek projects.
Cosplayer Spotlight: Kyle Herron
Texxx-Man Cosplay: How long have you been doing cosplay and how did it change your life? Kyle Herron: September will be my one year anniversary since I started to cosplay. Before this, I was in a deep depression and didn’t want to do anything. I had a small group of friends that I hang and spend time with, but even though I loved them, it was a struggle for me to go visit them. Now, I have a large group of friends and I’m not nearly as depressed as I used to be. I take better care of myself. I’m excited to go do things. All in all, cosplay has made me a better person.

Cosplayer Spotlight: David Hardamon Jr.
As a cosplayer who's been doing cosplay for almost four years, I have seen some amazing cosplays. Some over the top and others, unique.

Cosplayer Spotlight: Shania Durst-Deller
Would you mind telling me a little bit about yourself and how you got into cosplay? Shania: Well, I'm a 25-year-old nursing student here in Benton. I got into cosplay with my husband. We have been married for almost four months; been together for four years. I fought three years of breast cancer and fought losing our first baby. I'm a strong-hearted woman. I've always loved the idea to be different. It's good to be different.

Cosplayer Spotlight: Eric Lenhardt
What excites me as a cosplayer is other cosplayers being creative and coming with the most outstanding cosplays. I regularly leave comments on their photos and share those pictures on social media. Another cosplayer that I had an opportunity to interview recently was Eric Lenhardt. He may be in his 40s, but don't take his appearance and creative side for granted. I see his cosplays on a regular basis on Facebook and Instagram. He has the best ideas and is willing to cosplay as pretty much anybody. So sit back and enjoy this interview.

Cosplayer Spotlight: Matthew Warnock
For the last several weeks, I've interviewed so many great cosplayers and got to know more about them. San Diego Comic Con starts later on this week and I always see potential in all cosplayers. Why, you ask? Because it's great to see them doing amazing things for others. Recently, I got a chance to interview one of my cosplay friends, Matthew Warnock, who I have met at GlitchCon last year and again last November at The Cosplay Con & Anime Experience in North Little Rock, Arkansas. With that being said, I hope you enjoy my interview with him.

Cosplay Interview: Scarlet Stitch
Sometimes it gets lonely being one of the few crochet cosplayers (that I know of) down in Atlanta. That's why I drove up to All Star Comic Con in Tysons, VA to meet Scarlet Stitch—another amazing crochet cosplayer! Check out my interview with her as we discuss how she got into crocheting and what led her to make crochet cosplays!

Cosplayer Spotlight: Matches Malone
In the almost four years being a cosplayer, I've met some of the most generous cosplayers, online and in person. Whenever I see someone devoting their time to volunteer or visit ill children at a hospital, it really puts a smile on my face. I want to introduce everyone to Matches Malone and by the time you have finished reading my interview with him, it's going to show you that superheroes can be charitable.

Cosplayer Spotlight: Mash Up Cosplay UK
Con season is upon us and every year, cosplayers everywhere stand out at conventions. They put in so much effort and time to create their costumes. During con season, I'll be interviewing different cosplayers from all walks of life. They deserve so much credit for their creativity. As I've stated in my last story about cosplay mashups, they are a fun and exciting way to display your creativity to everyone. I want to introduce everyone to a cosplayer who is a master of amazing cosplay mashups. His name is Mash Up Cosplay UK and he's one of my followers on social media. I had a chance and pleasure to interview him recently and share his love of cosplay to everyone.

Actor's Life. Top Story - June 2018.
If you have seen the hit TV show, Claws, you might know Andrea Sooch. She plays Riva, a crime boss for the Russian Mob. She has also guest starred on Law & Order, Taxi Brooklyn, Gotham, Boardwalk Empire, Broad City, and The Blacklist. In addition to being an actor, she is also a Drama Therapist and is the co-creator of the ACTing Cure Group Model. In fact, I interned with her at AHRC, an organization that helps adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, where she used tools of drama therapy and positive interventions to maximize potentials in a therapeutic recreational setting, and to help people flourish.

Interview with Chris Pardal, Star of 'Corbin Nash'
Chris Pardal, born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, first launched his career in the arts as a dancer, performing in nightclubs and various hip-hop groups. His talent for dance was quickly recognized, and he was invited to join the dance departments of the University of South Florida and St. Petersburg College. It was during his university days that he encountered the drama department, through which he eventually came to acting and writing. The rest, as they say, is history.

'iZombie' Writer Bob Dearden on What It's Like to Write for the Hit Show and What We Can Expect From Season 4
Jason Schwartz: First things first, how did you get started writing for iZombie? Bob Dearden: Well, if you want to go back to before the beginning, I had a very different first career as a silviculture supervisor in the Canadian forest industry. I’d had a desire to go to film school after my undergrad studies, but had back-burnered that idea more and more as I got deeper into the forestry job. Eventually, I got to a point where I knew if I didn’t give something else a shot, it was going to be forestry for life. Which would’ve been fine, but I still had that lingering dream to work in film or TV, and wanted to take a crack at it. So I went back to school, enrolling in the MFA Screenwriting program at UT Austin.
