Robb Padgett (Mason)
Robb Padgett likes to do other things than work on dumb ol' bios. His hobbies include watching television and not writing bios. He hopes that when he does get around to actually writing a paragraph about himself that the paragraph includes as many capitalized words as Kathy's does. I mean, look at all those capitalized words! Her bio looks like downtown Chicago for crying out loud! Oh, and could Steve's be LONGER PLEASE! Website
Tanya Ihnen (Ashleigh)
Tanya was born and raised in Washington State where she grew up taking ballet, taking piano lessons, driving tractors, watching movies, and learning various odd facts about fruit. Tanya has lived in California for the past 6 years, where she has slung coffee, surfed the Internet for a living, and, in her current job, has discovered an unrequited love for office supplies. When not drooling over said supplies, she knits (albeit with a lot of swearing), reads, goes running, and still spends way too much time on the Internet.
Steven Lekowicz (Guy)
Steven Lekowicz (or Steve to his friends, family, and fembot army) is from Colorado, which explains so much. He really likes acting and improv comedy, though it's a toss-up as to whether they are as important to him as a good, moist, chocolate cake, but not those flourless or super-dense chocolate cakes, which are yummy and all, but which seem to be more overpowering than scarfable, and, really, cake should be scarfable. Steve uses Macs, which ALSO explains so much, and he wishes people could appreciate good design before appreciating cheapness, because cheapness is nothing but greed in disguise. A well-designed, scarfable chocolate cake that runs Mac OS X would, theoretically, be Steve's heaven. Website
Corrie Meyers (Jennifer)
Corrie Meyers grew up on the east coast and has been in L.A. for the past three years. Corrie is a lover of animals—especially her two cats, Jack and Pumpkin, old movies, ice skating, travel, writing poetry, Shakespeare, winter holidays, and any and all types of food! Like her character, Jennifer, she is also an avid fixer-upper and loves getting her hands dirty and repairing things. Lastly, Corrie believes that respect for one another and finding your true joys in life are of the utmost importance. Website
Laura Neufeld (Lou)
Laura's perfect day would include baked french toast and fresh-squeezed orange juice, a one-hour massage, anything by Lewis Carroll, a grilled cheese sandwich and french fries, swing dancing to live music, Me & Ed's pizza, climbing over beach rocks at sunset, and karaokeing the night away. So far she has done cold cereal, a pedicure, an episode of The Muppet Show, and a killer rendition of "Goldfinger." Laura aspires to one day sing more than 10 songs in one evening of karaoke.
Kathy Harmening (Kate)
Kathy Harmening moved to L.A. from Orlando, Florida, where she was one of those chipper people you see at Disney World wrangling children at the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles autograph signings. She was also a full-time puppeteer for a while. Then she moved to L.A. and got married at the Silent Movie Theatre (her favorite actor is Harold Lloyd.) She has a tendency to sing old-school commercial jingles, which is finally coming in handy.

Jimmy Bopp (Grocery Delivery Dude)
Jimmy was born in the birthplace of "Suburbia," Levittown, New York. The wonderful sport of bowling—yes it's a sport—paid for his college. He spent many of his younger years in lederhosen as a Schuhplattler dancing at Oktoberfests. As a result, he is traumatized when hearing the "Chicken Dance." Website
Vince Bray (Mailman)
Vince spends his time traveling for work and watching too much television. His hobby is collecting video game systems from the early 1980s. He's returned to acting after a brief hiatus, having last appeared in Our Lady of Fatima's 8th Grade Christmas Pageant. He played Linus. Vince is married to a woman with incredible patience.
Joel Bryant (Eric)
Joel was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico home of... absolutely nothing. (To be fair, it is where Bugs Bunny often got lost.) He came out to Pepperdine University in L.A. and never went back, mostly because his Toyota Corolla broke down. He has all sorts of film, TV, and theater credits, which can be Googled or IMDb'ed. His parole officer suggests that he not list his likes and dislikes. Website
Stephen William Moore (Sid)
Stephen is originally from Baltimore, Maryland, where he performed with that nutty bunch of Renaissance crazies Shakespeare's Skum. Since moving to L.A. over 15 years ago, he has mostly focused on directing theatre productions, but has also found time to become a lifer at his day job, raise four furry children, get repeatedly pierced and inked, and get married to his wonderful partner, Garry. Stephen's favorite time of year is Halloween, his favorite annual event is Knott's Scary Farm, and he throws a wicked costume party&8212;even in April. Website
Joe Nicchi (Lt. Neubauer)
"If Joe Nicchi were a Super Value Meal, he'd be a number 2 with a Coke." Website

Lisa Zalokar (Mizz Chi)
Lisa hails from Chicago, and although it will always be home, let's face it, it can be cold there. Lisa writes and bakes, sometimes simultaneously. She used to teach aerobics, is a certified massage therapist, and hikes mountains for fun. She has an intuitive cat with a taste for groomers' blood, a rough combination.
Frank Hundley (Homeless Man)
Frank Hundley moved to L.A. from New York, and though he was fully prepared to hate it, as he felt all East Coast Transplants were obligated to do, he has become quite fond of the City of Angels. Except for the Traffic. What's up with the traffic here?! It's crazy!!! He has an 11-pound Boston Terrorist named Sid Vicious, who has more friends than Frank does, and they live in Beachwood Canyon with a man Frank is not romantically involved with. Frank is uncomfortable with sincerity, which makes writing bios extraordinarily challenging.
Kevin Sage (Crazy Dave)
A member of the Tonkahonke Tribe, Kevin first caught the performing bug while watching his Uncle, Shoots-from-the-Hip, relay a story from his hunting trip around the campfire. This eventually led to a regular role on the public access sitcom Desperate Squaws. His hilarious portrayal of a man dying of small pox garnered the attention of Life from the Inside. When their people called his people and threatened to take his land and murder his family, Kevin was delighted to make a guest appearance. Website
Deven Green (Olava)
Only bottom-dwellers such as comedians and undertakers profit from the throes of others.
Love,
Deven Green
(Rich Comedian) Website
Andrea Westby Toaso (Cheryl)
Andrea used to frequent a park, bossing people around and pretending to be someone other than herself. That is, until the birth of Maggie, her lovely daughter. Maggie, at a very tender age, has taught her mother rhythm, and often demands hilariously funny noises are made. This can cause a bit of embarrassment in pubic places. Andrea also enjoys baking and consuming apple pies in her "spare" time. Website
David Boyd (Father Timothy)
David hails from Newcastle, England. Not Scotland, or Ireland, as everyone thinks. David's first introduction to the U.S. was as a student in Tennessee. He was disappointed that not every American swaggered like in the movies, but he really liked the sweetness of Tennesseans. Then he moved to NYC. After adjusting, he studied acting and paid the bills teaching people to hit a ball over a net in a controlled fashion. David is a big fan of people who are a big fan of him.
Mary MacDonald ("Officer Cauffield")
As a native of Buffalo, New York, Mary experienced culture shock after moving to L.A. when she learned not everyone walked to school in a snowmobile suit. During college, Mary spent a couple of summers as a Niagara Falls tour guide. After getting a van full of very angry tourists inexplicably lost on route to the falls, Mary decided this was not her calling and high-tailed it to NYC to pursue the far less scary profession of comedy improvisation. Please don't mention Niagara Falls to her... it still burns. Website
Greg Ashamalla (The Real Officer Cauffield)
Bio coming soon. Maybe. Or never. It's been a while now...
Stephen Simon (Pawn Pete)
Bio coming soon. But not yet. It has to mature.
Sven Davison (Neo Tim)
Sven is the human version of a Swiss Army knife, a.k.a. that thing in your pocket with 99 tools you will never have a use for: Pull here for executive, press here for flatulence machine, tug here for documentary sound guy, unscrew here for writer, heft here for pseudonyms such as Malcolm Rasputin McDermott, just Malcolm McDermott, Otto, or Stinky D. Website
John Glass (Tempted Neo)
John was born and it was at this time he began his life. The kids call him Mr. Glass, his amigos call him Juan Guapo, you can feel free to just call him. He is defiantly half full. If John were a word he probably wouldn't be able to spell himselff. He has never taken a long walk on the beach, but he does have the Chinese symbol for "generic" tattooed on his lower back. John hales from East Tennessee, but has no accent. Please don't ask... he's a bit sensitive about it. *In a whisper* He was born without an accent.

Adam Hodge — Director of Photography (Episode 1)
Adam rarely lets information about himself be released, as the witness protection program frowns upon that kind of thing. So, for the purpose of this bio, Adam has been living on the West Coast for around six years. He hails originally from Central Virginia and has moved around the country a lot, for obvious reasons. Adam enjoys mindless action moves with lots of pretty colors and big explosions. He has two cats and lives with his beautiful wife, Ann Marie. After working on the pilot episode of LFTI, the producers haven't seen Adam, so we assume his cover has been blown and he has moved to some remote location off the coast of Abu Dhabi. Website
David Beall — Set Photographer
David was roped into playing our only non-speaking recurring character because he's married to one of the producers. David has two cats named Dexter and Didi, but not named after the cartoon. That's a coincidence. David is the middle of three boys, knew how to write "Star Wars" before his own name, and all he wants to do after a long day of drawing is take photographs and be with his wonderful wife.
Jared Vallejo — Web Design
Bio coming soon. Like in 2016.
Lauren Cole — Web Design
Lauren is self-taught at most of her web skills, but has actual credentials for being a warm body to hold the boom when needed. She fled the cold of the East Coast for sunny L.A., but retains her computer geek pallor. Her hobbies include drawing and writing, but mostly letting her BFA atrophy. Website
Tony Allen — Director of Photography (Episode 3)
Bio coming "soon."
Thor Steingraber — Director (Episode 4)
Thor's love of comedy can be traced back to an essay outlining the merits of The Dick van Dyke Show that he authored in the fifth grade (the same year he won the school's penmanship award). Other highlights from his midwestern youth include riding his bike across Iowa and organizing a neighborhood talent contest. As an adult, Thor's creative pursuits landed him in opera houses from the redwood forest to the gulfstream waters (he has directed operas in cities from San Francisco to Houston). Since his recent move to L.A., he has added writing to his menu of activities. Thor still enjoys The Dick van Dyke Show and purchased an ottoman for the express purpose of practicing pratfalls. Website
Jose "Chano" Cabiya — Director of Photography (Episode 4)
Bio coming soon. He says it's been in the mail for months.
Geoffrey Owens — Director (Episode 5)
Geoffrey Owens was born in Brooklyn and again six weeks later in Tallahassee. He received a degree from Yale but didn't open it until after it had expired. After stints on various TV shows, he gave up acting to become a stint man. Geoffrey currently lives and dies in Studio City.
Allan Avendaño — Makeup Artist
Allan is a really happy makeup artist and hip-hop instructor. He started as a face painter at birthday parties and by dancing on Soul Train. Soon after, he was discovered by celebrities like Haylie Duff, Christina Hendricks, and Antonio Sabato, Jr., and hired to do "serious" makeup. They do get upset sometimes because Allan subconsciously draws sunshines and rainbows on their faces while krumping. "Serious" makeup is now his full-time gig, but he still teaches dance to peeps like Robin Antin and The Pussycat Dolls and Jane Krakowski to satisfy his need to whip his head/hair. His other hobbies include name-dropping, eating peanut butter, and memorizing the steps of Dirty Dancing with his little stuffed animal, a bunny named Anita Lyfe.Website
Scott Edwards — Director (Episode 6)
Scott plays a lot of sports and in some circles is known as "Softball 911." He says that's cool and all, but he rather likes his other nicknames better: Big Daddy, Tango, The Rocket, and his favorite, Macktastic Scott Flash. Oh, and he swears he saw a ghost once.
Andy Neil — Director of Photography (Episode 8)
Andy is a competing 7th level white belt in Tai Bo and can be often seen picking fights at the local YMCA. In the fourth grade, he began speaking of himself almost exclusively in the third person, excepting, of course, when he was using the royal "we." As a photographer, he has always believed that the eyes are the windows to the soul and that the eyelids are the screens. He hopes when he finally gets his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that they just recycle Andy Williams', because he really likes the restaurant that it's in front of.
