Kevin Corral is an actor, filmmaker, and spida-maaannn expert who’s killin’ it with some awesome Marvel fan films on YouTube. We met by coincidence about ten minutes before the interview started! But once we started talkin’ comics, it was smooth sailing. In this episode, we give our opinions over the Last of Us games, we go behind the scenes on the creation of his Spectacular Spider-Man fan series on YouTube, decide what superpowers are underrated, and share the impact of following your dreams. It was awesome meeting Kevin!! I was super inspired by his dedication to filmmaking and creating spaces for people to perform.

Claire Wunschel is an actress and director who’s been an artist since the age of three! We met by coincidence around three years ago on the set of the short film,“Things to do Before You Turn 18,” a heist comedy film that ended with the two of us eating dog food. Yuck! (I think it was actually chocolate cake. So it was pretty awesome.) In this episode, we talk about Claire taking acting classes with a favorite actor of hers, making short films/sketches in middle school, how marriage proposals work, and the importance of giving back to others. It was fantastic to get to reconnect after so long, because Claire is truly one of the nicest people you could hang out with in LA. Go watch her films and listen to her sick drum skillzzz with Jack Nooney’s band!! Follow Claire on Instagram! @claire.wunschel Follow the pod on Instagram! @metbycoincidence
Teig Sadhana is an Australian-English actor based out of New York City whose career has taken him across the globe. We met by coincidence two years ago on a vertical set, and as soon as we started talking about Spider-Man, we easily got to gabbin’ and goofin’ while working together. In this episode, we talk about how much it would suck to be a weatherperson, what it’s like living all around the globe, the inevitable modern renaissance that’s coming, and most importantly, which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is the best. It was awesome to reconnect with one of the kindest actors I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Go check out all of his work across the industry’s major vertical platforms!

Benjamin Steinberg is a filmmaker, actor, and leader of the “Save Your Cinema” Campaign, a movement dedicated to preserving independent cinemas and theatrical exhibition, including Hollywood’s iconic ArcLight Cinerama Dome. We met by coincidence around three years ago, and recently got the chance to reconnect and talk about all the hard work he’s done to bring hope back to some of Hollywood’s most treasured theaters. In this episode, we go behind the scenes of everything it took to keep the momentum going for the “Save Your Cinema” Campaign, the importance of movie theaters, the movies that inspired Benjamin’s creative lens, and how to find hope when everyone tells you to give up. It was awesome getting to talk with Benjamin, and I hope this conversation inspires you to keep pursuing your dreams, even when the odds are stacked against you!

Sam Bevill is a director, actor, and goofy improv guy who I met by coincidence while taking the basic improv class at Groundlings six months ago! Our first scene together involved Spider-Man going on Broadway, turning into an even worse version of the already made Spider-Man Broadway show. I’d describe what happened in the improv scene, but as Sam and I discuss, it’s like “explaining my dream last night.” Nobody really wants to hear it, unless it’s my paid-to-listen therapist or balcony cactus. In this episode, we talk about what zombie apocalypse would be the best to survive, what movies we would turn into video games, the turning point that helped Sam realize his dream goal, and what movie characters we would want in our rock band. I’m so grateful I met Sam and am excited to see what cool horror movies he makes in his career!! Follow Sam on Instagram! @sam.bevill Follow the pod on Instagram! @metbycoincidence
Oliver Chase Walters is an artist, writer, and actor from Los Angeles who just recently made the move to the big apple, aka, New York Cittaaaayyyy, babbaaayy! We met by coincidence in 2025 on the set of the hilarious short film, “The Hearse,” which is currently in its festival run! In this episode, we talk about what time period we would send preservative-infested food to, weird ways to die, how to stay sane in a big city, and an amazing moment he got to experience while working on “Dexter: New Blood.” Oliver is one of those people that you can goof around with due to his buoyant joy, but also have deep convos that'll stick with you. It was an awesome time to reconnect with one of the coolest dudes I’ve gotten to work with. Follow Jordan on Instagram! @oliverchasewalters Follow the pod on Instagram! @metbycoincidence
Jordan Wommack is a comedian, actor, and the expert on spotting when a guy is clearly in a monkey suit in the hit Tubi box-office-blast of a movie, “Primate.” We met by coincidence last year at a party hosted by our mutual buddy bro Ben Taylor. We reconnected at Easter celebrating eggs and decided it was go-time to do a pod. In this episode, we talk about evil babies with knives, white girls named Fatima, the cults we’ve been part of, and defending phrases like “creamy” and “that’s beastiality, bro.” Just uh…listen in. It’ll make more sense than trying to explain in a podcast description. One of my favorite convos of all time. So glad I hit the record button.

Sam Wiens is a director and writer that I met by coincidence last year on the set of “Need No Man.” While filming, we performed some goofy impressions and discussed deep Marvel + Star Wars lore. I knew I needed to have him on the pod because…goofy impressions and nerd talk? That’s essentially all we do on Met by Coincidence. In this episode, we talk about the importance of small film budgets, we go behind the scenes on Sam’s film “the Brink,” talk about childhood movies like “Everyone’s Hero” and “Chicken Little, and why you should learn to adapt your goals as an artist. It was an awesome convo that I’m super pumped to share!! Enjoy! Follow Sam on Instagram! @samwiensfilm Follow the pod on Instagram! @metbycoincidence
Daria Good is an actress, producer, and future Oscar winning star of a cool detective noir film. We met by coincidence in college at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts over four years ago. When I first met her, I knew right away she would lead our class – and I know one day she will probably lead the world. Which will be awesome. In this episode, we discuss crazy roommate stories, what events can lead to becoming an artist, we create a story to a play, and what Olympic events we would absolutely DESTROY in. Daria is artist who is dedicated to her craft while also still being incredibly humble and kind. She da best. Follow Daria on Instagram! @daria.is.good Follow the pod on Instagram! @metbycoincidence
Hannah Bialous is an actress, producer, and owner of the bestest dawg to ever dawg, Winnie. We met by coincidence in college at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts over four years ago. She has been venturing the world but finally has returned to Los Angeles, allowing us to reconnect and goof around. In this episode, we discuss super duper secret In-&-Out orders, why time makes no sense, not having a set path in life (and why that's okay), and why Disneyland is pretty magical. Hannah is an incredibly talented artist and it was so awesome to get to hang with her (and da Winnie.) Follow Hannah on Instagram! @hannahbialous Follow the pod on Instagram! @metbycoincidence
