The Brett Allan Show

Our guest today on the Brett Allan Show is the amazing actor Lodric D Collins. On August 13th he can be seen staring in the upcoming Aretha Franklin biopic, "Respect" opposite Jennifer Hudson, who plays the iconic Aretha Franklin. We chatted about the film, his military career, college, theatre background and more! Enjoy. Lodric can be seen appearing in MGM’s highly anticipated biopic “Respect” opposite Jennifer Hudson, and I would love for you to consider an interview/feature with him. “Respect” follows the life and career of the legendary Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin (Hudson), and Lodric shines as the iconic singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson. Additional cast include: Forest Whitaker, Marlon Wayans and Mary J. Blige. “Respect” is set to debut nationwide on August 13, 2021. In television, Lodric currently stars as Chief of Staff Donald Winthrop on BET’s “The Oval.” Created by Tyler Perry, the series follows a seemingly perfect interracial family that become the White House’s newest residents. New episodes of “The Oval” are slated to be released in July 2021. Lodric is also well known for appearing as Captain Elliot, the head of militia sent to end the apocalypse on SYFY’s “Z Nation” and as Lieutenant Marshall in NBC’s “Grimm.” As a former U.S. Marine and extreme sports enthusiast, Lodric was born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He discovered his love for acting at his local community theatre, and eventually made the life-changing decision to defer law school to pursue acting full time in New York. It was in the city that he got to hone his craft studying and working in Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. On the theatre front, Lodric is most notably known for his classical work in roles such as General Hannibal Barca (Massanissa) and Berowne (Loves Labors Lost), for which he received rave reviews. When he is not on set Lodric is advocating for equality, across the board. He is currently using his platform to bring awareness to Maternal Mortality rates amongst minority women and to support our U.S. Veterans. Learn more about your ad choices.

ED BEGLEY, JR. has created a line of eco-friendly cleaning products, BEGLEY’S EARTH RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTS!!! This product line has a big social impact on the environment. This brand has become more popular during Covid because people are interested in cleanliness and sterilization while keeping their families safe and healthy from harsh and unsafe chemicals. Current YOUNG SHELDON recurring guest star, Golden Globe and 7X Emmy nominee, television & film icon and entrepreneur, Ed Begley, Jr. is truly one of the most famous environmentalists in the country. Ed is one of the trail blazers who warned, educated, informed and encouraged the rest of us to jump on the bandwagon of green-living, even when it was not popular and the “cool” thing to do. Ed of course has been living green since the 1970s. Flash forward to 2021! In his mature years, Ed is still considered to be one of the most influential green trend setters in the country and he is credited with influencing many others. All the products are available on Amazon! Ed believes environmentally conscious consumers shouldn’t be penalized with poorly performing products. That’s why every BEGLEY’S Earth Responsible Product is individually designed and tested to perform equal to or better than its corresponding non-green alternative. The active ingredients include plant based, sustainable and rapidly biodegradable. Beneficial botanical essential oils add a pleasant aroma-therapeutic scent. Of greatest importance is the safety of the household in which it is being used. This includes humans, animals and plants- and the health of our planet at large. In formulating the products Ed believes he has chosen the safest and most effective ingredients available on the market today. All of the ingredients are considered “All Natural” with the exception of the preservative (less than 1%) found in some of the BEGLEY'S cleaners. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we have the multi talented actor, comedian and musician Page Kennedy. Most know him from the blockbuster hit "The Meg" but his career spans decades. He can currently be seen on the Netflix streamer, "The Upshaw's" as "Duck", which is a can't miss show. We discuss, this, career and more, on today's episode. Actor/comedian/rap artist, Page Kennedy (The Meg) returns to the screen in Netflix’s new comedy series, The Upshaws, starring opposite Wanda Sykes and Mike Epps.

Epps portrays the head of the household, Bennie Upshaw while Page portrays Duck, Bennie’s ex-con and newly religious best friend. Duck served a seven year stint in prison after being involved in a heist gone bad — where Bennie got away. Now, he works with a grateful Bennie in his garage and is his biggest cheerleader.

His latest and third studio album, “Page”, features production by Grammy award-winning Aftermath producer Focus, Mic West and guest artists Method Man, Elzhi, Xzibit, Ali Caldwell, Lonny Bereal and Chief Wakil. His music filters the global health crisis and socio-political injustices of the last year through the lens of his personal life while celebrating the resilience of Black and Brown people during these recently trying times as he looks towards the future.The striking album cover for “PAGE” is a portrait of the artist made from a collage of pictures of people who have died at the hands of police brutality.

He is also best known for portraying Radon Randell in the Spike sports comedy series, Blue Mountain State, and U-Turn in the Showtime series, Weeds.

Our guest today is actor and director Christine Lakin, Most would remember her from TGI FRIDAY's "Step By Step" as Al Lambert. She and her co-stars ruled Friday nights with this fun filled family show. But since then she has not stopped. From "The Goldbergs" on ABC, to a million other shows, she has had her hand in it all, also ruling motherhood, podcasting and more. We get into all of that, if she would do anything differently, balancing life and career and much more! Her bio explains it all the best! Taken from her amazing website! You’d probably best remember me from a 90’s TV show called “Step By Step” (yep, I was that tomboy Al in the backwards hat) but more recently I produced and starred on the comedy “Hollywood Darlings” alongside my childhood friends Beverley Mitchell (“7th Heaven”) and Jodie Sweetin (“Full-er House”) for the Pop Network. If you love “Family Guy” you’d know my voice as Joyce Kinney. If you’re a gamer, I’m Peebee in “Mass Effect, Andromeda”. If you listen to podcasts, I have my own! It’s called Worst Ever Podcast, where my co-host Alaa and I talk to all kinds of celebrities about their worst ever moments in life. It’s good times. (And might just make you feel better about your own worst moments) I love my work but it is a constant hustle and why I’m seriously juggling multiple careers while trying to balance home life. I’m sure a lot of you can relate. My blog is an outlet to share some of my passions like cooking and travel but also just start a conversation with you guys about some of the struggles trying to “have it all” entails. I’m so grateful for my family and the time I’m able to spend raising my daughter Georgia. But momm-ing is hard and sometimes I just ask myself if 4pm is too early for a glass of rose. (anyone with me here?) I’m fairly irreverent and may use a curse word here or there so try to not get too offended. Thanks for sharing and reading and I hope I can make you laugh now and again too. www.brettallanshow.com Have a question, email us below!
