BILLY STAPLES
BILLY STAPLES IS BACK! Billy first signed with GKM in the year 2000. At the time Billy was winding up a successful radio career as the proverbial third wheel on the nationally popular "Ron & Fez" show. He quickly made the transition to the visual medium of TV with an appearance on "Third Watch" and being featured in a music video. However, he had to back away from the business to care for his mom.
Billy hasn't lost a step. We know we have to start "small," but in less than his first month back under the GKM banner, he booked a lead role in a student-thesis film, and a supporting role in an Equity production of "Guys & Dolls." The student film will allow Billy to get some new film for his now semi-obsolete (yet still effective) reel.
Between the two productions, going back-to-back with simultaneous prep, and restarting acting class, he can't believe how busy he is.
CHERYL LYONE just completed filming a DUAL LEAD ROLE opposite DEAN WINTERS in the film project, "Memoire." Before that she shot a lead role in "NOT ANOTHER CELEBRITY MOVIE" in the role of Lady Gaga.
She was honored to film a co-star role in the Premiere Episode of "Law & Order: Los Angeles." CHERYL has a devoted cult-following from her starring role in the edgy, revenge-flick, "Run! Bitch Run!"
CHERYL LYONE stars in Cannes-screened "RUN! BITCH RUN!"
Here is an excerpt from a reviewer: "The level of violence is extreme but done just enough that your anticipation for Catherine's revenge builds up immensely. In our quest to find new and independent films, Run! Bitch Run! is for sure a film you don't want to miss. It has all the cool elements of the old school Grindhouse films without a multi million dollar budget. Cheryl Lyone's acting is great and quite impressive considering the intensity of her role and the variations her character goes through."
COLLIN is one of the most naturally comedic and likeable actors you will ever meet.

******BASED IN NEW YORK******
Philip Hernandez
PHILIP HERNANDEZ was most recently seen in Guest Star roles on “BULL,” “BLUE BLOODS,” and in the season finale of NBC-TV's "THE BLACKLIST." He and James Spader really got into it.
Philip currently has a recurring role as Dr. Costa on “THE PATH,” and had a recurring role on "GOTHAM" as Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Guerra. He appeared opposite Edie Falco and Tony Shaloub on "NURSE JACKIE," and with Debra Messing in an episode of "MYSTERIES OF LAURA." He also played pivotal roles in "HOSTAGES," and "ELEMENTARY," among others.
Philip has had multiple leading roles on Broadway. He is the only actor in Broadway history to star as both male leads in "LES MISERABLES." He also played lead roles in the Original Broadway Casts of "THE CAPEMAN," and "KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN."
JULIA DiVERGILIO is our newest addition to the GKM family so she deserves to be featured, here.
Julia is originally from the hippie enclave of Berkeley, California and then her family moved to Sin City (aka Las Vegas) where she finished high school (Las Vegas Academy of Performing Arts) and then, at age 18, moved to NYC for the best training she could find. She's somewhat reminiscent of a young, but prettier, Sandra Bernhard with eyes that say mischief and a figure that echoes that sentiment. She's got that quirky-cute thing going and can go from wacky to very dark. It is going to be fun to introduce her to some people in the industry and very promising opportunities.

After A Five Year Hiatus, Former MISS UNIVERSE, MPULE KWELAGOBE, Has Re-Signed With Green Key Management, LLC.
Mpule's Passion is "Eco-Chic." She has two areas of expertise she would like to combine: Ecology and Fashion/Glamor. You can be "green" and
gorgeous.
Since she grew up in Africa (literally, on a dirt floor) with
a grandfather who was a witch doctor, she is well-versed in herbology, both
exotic and what can be found in the urban marketplace.
Also, being an
experienced and successful beauty queen (she was the first woman of color to be a spokesperson for Clairol), she has access and knowledge of the world of fashion and
beauty.
As a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. she is, literally, quite
worldly, too.
After nearly 15 years together, starting when ALICIA was a teenager with nothing but raw potential that took years of patient development, and then after approximately 7 years of hard work on both ends, she landed her signature role on ABC's "ALL MY CHILDREN." Alicia has recently become a GKM Alumnus. GKM could not be prouder of Alicia, her work ethic, and the things we have been able to accomplish together. Now GKM is acting as producer for her own show which we are currently developing.
ALICIA, though not a management client at this time, signed with a GKM subsidiary to shoot the lead role in a new Pilot (with the lead role created for her) entitled "I'VE COMPLETELY LOST IT !!" Actually, two lead roles. As a nod to her soap past, she's playing her own twin. :-) These roles are very different than her roles in "All My Children." The Pilot is an "Extreme Comedy." Alicia, like you've never seen her before.
AFTER A 10 YEAR RUN starring on ABC-TV's "ALL MY CHILDREN," with the cancellation of the show from ABC-TV, Alicia has decided to not to follow the show on the Internet and will move on to new ventures. One of those new ventures? See the above paragraph.

Here is a Press Release I put out in January 2008:
THE HARDEST WORKING ACTOR ON TV
Instead of all the spoiled, trouble-making actresses out there who are in and out of rehab with their panties in the glove compartment, something nice should be said about someone who is really hard-working, good at her job, young-yet-mature, beautiful and talented.
I thought my long-time friend and client had been working awfully hard this past year. On her sixth on-air anniversary (January 8th) my suspicions were confirmed when a fan, known only as "dawn9476," blogged about some research she had conducted. Alicia is officially the hardest working actor in all of Television (Daytime, Prime Time, or ANYTIME). She shot, and appeared in, an incredible 233 episodes of ABC-TV's "ALL MY CHILDREN" for the year 2007 in the role of vixen, KENDALL HART, the beautiful, plotting and devious, diva-daughter of SUSAN LUCCI'S "ERICA KANE." That's more than any other actor in her field (or otherwise), by far. Can you imagine how many volumes of dialogue she has had to memorize, night-after-night, after shooting all day? It is a testament to her fan base, her work ethic, and the faith that ABC-TV has in her. She may have been the titleholder in the previous 5 years as well.
Alicia has accumulated an astonishing, 1500-plus episodes since she first appeared six years ago. That body of work is the equivalent of nearly 40 years for a Prime Time TV show!
