“When No One Believes In you, that’s when you have to believe in yourself, even more” (Edgar, K. 2017)

Emmy Award winner, Celebrity Hairstylist and Fashion Designer Kenneth “K-Bobby” Edgar grew up in Jamaica, in a family where his father, a typical Jamaican male of that era, was appalled that his son showed early interest in women’s fashion. Fortunately, K-Bobby’s mother was a forward-thinker, believing that her son’s obvious clothing talent was a gift that should be appreciated and developed, encouraged his interest. Starting at the unbelievable age of 12, K-Bobby quickly became a seasoned designer and dressmaker in his village, sewing gowns for brides, bride’s maids, beauty queens, graduations and balls.

He realized his gifts were real and rare and, wanting to augment his natural abilities with more formal training, at the age of 17 he enrolled at Madame Francois’s School of Fashion in Kingston.  K-Bobby earned an Emmy in 1995 for his work as hair stylist for the 1994 CBS mini-series, “The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All”.

 K-bobby’s designs have been photographed by many of the top fashion photographers, with designs featured in issues of several popular magazines.

Jennifer Bryan has been bringing her talents to the film and television arts.

Growing up in Jamaica, she was drawn to the history of clothing, style, fashion and design. Her passions brought her to New York’s FIT and Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn, where she earned her degree in Fashion Merchandising.

While a Costume Supervisor, Jennifer honed her talent and her keen eye for detail on many Broadway productions. Among the most memorable are Tony award winners “The Wiz,” “Peter Pan” and “The King and I”. Early in her career, she worked on the films of such luminaries as directors Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Cotton Club”, Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas”, Spike Lee’s “Jungle Fever”, and John Landis’s “Coming to America”. It wasn’t long before Jennifer caught the attention of producers and directors who hired her as the Costume Designer on their productions.

Jennifer’s designing film credits range from “Major Payne” starring Damon Waynans, “Fled” with Laurence Fishburne and Steve Baldwin, “Barbershop 2” “Exit Wounds” starring Steven Segal, “Universal Soldier: The Return” starring Jean Claude Van Damme to mention a few.

The cult drama “Dark Angel” starring Jessica Alba placed Jennifer in the fast- paced arena of episodic television. It is in this space, that she has been inspired and challenged to create new concepts ranging from the authenticity of 16th Century clothing in “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals” to the edgy street fashions of music videos.

None other than Vince Gilligan tapped Jennifer to design the final season of “Breaking Bad”. It was on this iconic project that she garnered a Costume Designer Guild nomination. And seamlessly, Jennifer transitioned to design the spinoff “Better Call Saul “ in its sixth and final season. Recently she debuted her first Netflix series the teen parallel universe saga, “The Society”.

High on Jennifer’s design bucket list, was a project that would span several decades of fashion and style. Season three of NatGeo’s Emmy award winning “Genius: Aretha” starring Cynthia Erivo, which is based on the stellar career of singer Aretha Franklin, ticks that box.

When not immersed in a show, Jennifer is busy working on developing her accessory and shoe lines, or traveling to far-flung locations to satisfy her other passion, photography. Jennifer is a member of Local 829 Costume Designers Guild, Local 892 United Scenic Artists, and Local 764 Theatrical Wardrobe Union IATSE.

Stephen Burhoe has been acting professionally for over thirty-five years. He started out as a film student at Moorpark College in Ventura County, California.

Stephen felt that if he was going to direct actors, he should know what they were going through. So he enrolled in an acting class. As part of the class all students were required to audition for the plays produced at the college. They wouldn’t have to accept a part, if offered, but they did have to complete the audition process. Mr. Burhoe got the part of the young love interest in Moliere’s Tartuffe. He accepted the part. He found the rehearsal process totally enjoyable. Then on opening night of his first performance he heard two things that would change his life: Laughter and applause. The bug had bitten.

He matriculated to San Diego State University as a drama major. Before graduating with his Bachelors Degree in Drama, he was able to perform in professional theatre and even did his first national commercial. After Graduating he relocated to the Los Angeles Area and was soon doing theatre and was hired by Knott’s Berry Farm to play “The Beaumont Bear” in their stunt show venue. In addition he played various parts in the street gunfighter program. He portrayed characters from dumb cowboys and bank robbers to wily medicine drummers. It was a great training ground, very much like vaudeville, but with the added distractions to the audience that come with an amusement park. Soon he was writing new shows for the park and started his own stunt team that worked corporate functions, other amusement venues such as Calico Ghost town and even The Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1990 he moved on to Universal Studios to work on their new western stunt show. He landed a full time slot on the stunt team and while still running his own company, put in some five thousand performances as the comic in the Universal show, over six years. During this time he also started working television, including directing some regional commercials and an infomercial, which he also hosted. In 1996 an injury to his back put an end to most stunt work.

Realizing that the demands of the physical comedy he had been performing were no longer a viable way to make a living, he returned to more conventional acting. He started training with the legendary acting coach Jeff Corey. This opened up a new perspective on acting and “The Business”. He started booking more television and national commercials. His work included spots for Sears, Maxwell House Coffee, Pillsbury Grand Biscuits and more. He also became a recurring sketch performer on The Tonight Shoe with Jay Leno. Eventually he was asked by his agent Mary Grady, known as the biggest children’s agent in Hollywood , to teach a class for new clients. It was a mixed bag of kids and adults but Mr. Burhoe took to teaching like the proverbial duck to water. Another bug had bitten.

Soon after the death of Jeff Corey, Mr. Burhoe opened his own acting studio in Ventura California . He named it The Players Craft, an homage to Corey’s Actors Craft. For a decade he trained kids and adults in acting, public speaking and professional presentation. Many students have gone on to work in film, television, and professional theatre. He became know as one of the best children’s coaches in the business. In 2008 the economic down turn forced the closing of the studio. Mr. Burhoe continued to teach and eventually decided to relocate to New Mexico where he felt the environment was more conducive to continuing coaching as well as  film making and finishing a series of scene and monologue books for young actors. The films he has made since relocating to New Mexico have been seen in film festivals from Manhattan to Hollywood to Indonesia. Writing and film making continue to be a large part of his endeavors, but acting and sharing his knowledge with aspiring performers continues to be his passion. He now lives in Albuquerque and is thrilled to be part of the New Mexico acting community.
