Cory Kirk
On the heels of a Burger King commercial and a co-starring role in a YouTube series that got 10 million views in months, L.A.-based Cory Kirk starred in the feature length horror "The Perfectionist Hairstylist" this year. The film's in the same vein as "It" meets "The Call" and sheds light on financially strapped and stressed out parents and the child abuse they inflict and the future killers that cycle creates. The film will be streaming to worldwide audiences by year's end. A team player with writing and producing credits, Cory has been working lock step with his L.A. film colleagues under the production house of Illusion Islands, and recently acted in an Eric Roberts-starring movie "The Private Eye". Clean cut, unique DJ-like voiced and nuanced Cory has played an array of roles in his ten years in Tinseltown, showcasing his far stretching character range and his "Joey Tribbiani meets Jim J. Bullock" comedic persona. Cory is commitment meets originality when he delivers. Cory's trained with seasoned veterans through Warner Loughlin, CalArts, Universal Studios, "The Graduate" director Mike Nichols student Jack Cook and UCB, just to name a few. He was a gold medal-winning actor growing up and nationally awarded college cheerleader and athlete before arriving to L.A. and now brings his own powerhouse of talents to studio lots across town. Within the last few years, Cory co-starred in the period piece Amazon Prime series "The Last Tycoon" starring Matt Bomer and he played pivotal and stirring roles in film festival winner "Losing the Battle" and Funny or Die's front page feature "Ex Bros". Repped by Tiauna Jackson of Century City's The Jackson Agency, Cory's mission is to help worldwide audiences feel and discover a common thread of humanity that transcends language, cultural and ideological barriers. Cory embodies and understands today's struggles thereby creating striking performances that scream out with cultural relevance. From working with SoCal film crews to prepping for pilot season, Cory has an all-encompassing catalog of classic rock info and is witty with a Jim Carrey-ish disposition. His movie knowledge is top notch as well and he's the guy who, as a kid, read "Growing Up Brady" and Judy Garland biographies in bookstore and library aisles. Still, he continues to learn and soak up the comedic styles and lessons from sitcoms and films from today to yesteryear. Cory's a big "Mom", "Grace and Frankie", "Shameless", "Veep" fan, appearing on the latter two; and he hosts and DJs in the spirit of Andy Cohen meets Bill Maher. All this while creating his own newness in delivery and style.
