Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lester Greene. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Lester , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
I always wanted to buy my mother a house and I wasn’t able to do it because she passed away. Now, my goal is to secure financial stability for my partner Richard and my close friends.
Lester , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am an actor/producer/talk show host. I got into acting by accident, just from watching this television show, Rescue Me featuring Larenz Tate. Larenz inspired me through his acting. I saw myself in him. He gave me the confidence to be an actor.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
I have been wanting to start my own talk show for many years now. I created my podcast show, Out On The Front Lines. I interviewed over 100 people. It was fun but I wanted more. With Ellen no longer on the air, I see myself as being the next big talk show host. My friends Antoine Allen and Nadira Pankey convinced me to go for it. Antoine told me to rent a space, hire a team and book the guests – and that’s what I did. The Lester Greene Talk Show is coming next month. We begin filming on July 2nd.
Have you ever had to pivot?
I’ve been acting for a long time. I love acting, but now I’m at a point where I need to do more. I’ve produced a few short films that won awards in various film festivals. I’ve had short films screen on ABC/CBS. It has been a great run, but it’s time for me to pivot to the next thing. I’m co-producing a feature film in August with Antoine Allen. It’s called Driving Force. It’ll be my first self-produced feature film and I’m excited about it.
