Katrina Grey is a filmmaker/actress based in the UK. Although starting out in theatre when younger, Katrina found her love in film. With an impressive resume for someone so young, Katrina is making waves among the independent film scene and not just as an actress. She is a keen writer, currently in post production with her latest film Daytime Nightmare and looking to start her next project. Katrina has a love of scifi, which won me over, and so passionate. However - I am unsure I can forgive her for not knowing the Muppets!.

Hailed by Flaunt Magazine as one half of "London's most exciting DJ duo," international DJ, actress, and filmmaker, Samantha Michelle makes her way back to the US with her hugely popular and spirited DJ sets that can only be described as distinctly vintage, upbeat and classical, as she fuses familiar tunes with rare records moving swiftly between the genres of rhythm and blues, ska, reggae, soul, and funk. Bringing with her a deep passion to share good vibes and great times, the successful creator is a force to be reckoned with, already holding residencies at Omar's Park Avenue, The Morrison Hotel Gallery, and Sunset Marquis, and DJ'ing for various events for Saks Fifth Avenue, Good Luck Dry Cleaners, God's Love We Deliver, and the reception and closing gala of the exhibition of "The Lost Warhols" where she also managed the creative content and experiential programming for the entire 3 weeklong exhibition. Listen as I chat with Samantha about her passions in music, poetry, and more.

Rob Dukes is a Midlands born actor, residing in London. From his early days, he showed talent in the arts and has a love of both music and acting, being an accomplished trumpet player...something he shares with this presenter (albeit remove the accomplished for me as it was 15 years ago since I last really played!) Rob is currently in the multi award winning WW2 short film by Patrick Ryder called The Code. I've had the pleasure of watching this film twice now, and also presenting and hosting the Q&A at the London screening in September. Rob's career is going from strength to strength and it is easy to see why. He has a presence which oozes charisma and having seen his work on screen, I can confirm the acting talent. It's an honour to know Rob, who is always willing to help and promote others as well as himself. Take note of his name as it is one you will be seeing a lot of.

Justin Melnick is a man with a fascinating career. He has spent time as a police officer as well as a combat photographer out in Afghanistan. He has experienced the horror of war as well as the toughness of the streets in his time as a cop. It was in this job that he teamed with his best friend, Dita. Melnick was brought onto SEAL Team as a consultant, but after a couple times of bringing his own equipment in, as the show didn't have the right stuff, he was asked by a producer if he would play the canine handler in the team. He has since not looked back, becoming a weekly regular and being fed more lines as the show, and himself as an actor, develops. In his own words, he has the most amazing teachers. Sit back and enjoy my chat with this lovely guy who is overjoyed to be where he is and doing what he does without knowing he is a fan favourite.

Ruffin teases us by saying we will see more of Summer and his banter with Sonny (AJ Buckley). Sit back and enjoy as I chat with this excellent actor and person.

SEAL Team is, in my opinion, the hottest TV show out there. I have said also that I believe it is a modern Band of Brothers. Neil Brown Jr is no stranger to the screen. With many credits to his name in hit shows such as CSI:Cyber, NCIS LA, films like Battlefield Los Angeles and his excellent portrayal in award winning Straight Outta Compton, Neil is one of the most versatile and dedicated actors out there and a deeply spiritual soul. A stickler for perfection, Neil throws everything into each role, as he explains in the interview. In SEAL Team, as Ray Perry, Neil plays the grounded one of the team, the one who remains level headed...which is why, when he starts to walk down the path of faith, as he puts it, people are genuinely worried for him. As Bravo 2, he is always on form and never wants to let anyone down, even if he is suffering himself. I hope you all enjoy this chat with Neil Brown Jr.

I am joined by Henry Hereford and Nadia Jordan to talk about their latest film For the Love of George. Nadia is not only the lead actress in the film, she also wrote and produced the film. Based on the concept of a jilted wife, Poppy (Nadia) flees London to stay with her friend in LA (the delightful Rex Lee) with a firm plan - to meet George Clooney and get him to fall in love with her. We follow Poppy and her antic in a fun film, with some genuine laughs. Henry plays Stephen, Poppy's cheating husband. Despite his unfaithfulness, you do find yourself empathising with him in the film. Some great performances all round, won for me by Rex Lee. Sit back and listen to my chat with the gorgeous and talented Nadia and the talented and fun Henry as we talk about the film, acting in general and supporting independent film.
