Picture the bright lights of Hollywood. Now imagine navigating this world as a rising actor, balancing the glamour with the grit, and the triumphs with the trials. That's the life our guest, Alikhan Lochin, a recent graduate from USC's School of Drama, shares with us. He takes us on an intimate journey from his formative years on stage to his adventures in LA. Alikhan also sheds light on the importance of celebrating the richness of African-American history by playing the Soldier and Jazz Musician in the successful  revival "Harlem South: a View Through the Lens" during the 1920s.

Los Angeles, famed for its clear skies and smoggy silhouettes, is a city of contrasts. Alikhan offers a candid glimpse into this city that's home to Hollywood, sharing his raw encounters with the industry's light and dark sides. He enlightens us on the power of networking, the importance of flexibility, and the balance between his social life and work. He also opens up about his music career as a DJ for Kehlani and Zendaya and the significance of inner peace amidst the glamour and drama.

We wrap up this insightful conversation with Alikhan sharing invaluable advice for aspiring actors. His emphasis on self-confidence, preparedness, and respecting everyone in the industry offers a roadmap for navigating Hollywood. He also delves deep into the significance of intuition, body language, and diet in identifying genuine intentions. Alikhan urges us to embrace our stories and experiences, reminding us that each success, no matter how small, is worth celebrating. Join us for this enlightening conversation and prepare to see Hollywood through a new lens!
