Characters
Tony King
Mr. King was born and raised in Orange County, California to single mother Rose King, a struggling actress / car show model. Encouraged by is mother, Mr. King always performed, growing up studying acting, tap, ventriloquism, song styling and pantomime. He was mercilessly beaten through high school but managed to parlay his passion for the craft of acting into a Masters Degree in Acting from the newly formed Royal Conservatory of Acting and Performance Arts in the Falkland Islands. Upon his return to Los Angeles, Mr. King found the skills he’d learned abroad were mostly useless in front of the camera, but he still satisfied the acting bug by performing and teaching in small theater companies throughout Hollywood (all founded by Mr. King). When not acting or teaching, Mr. King often offered his services as a stagehand to his fellow producer/actors. It was there that he birthed the ‘Hollywood Residential’ concept. It was also there that a series of onstage accidents in three different plays were all blamed on Mr. King.
Lila Mann
The new co-host of “Hollywood Residential,” Lila Mann is best known for her website and female home repair brand, MannPower. Born Hannah Mandelbaum, Lila was a gifted student from an early age and was accepted to Brandeis University at 13, the youngest woman in the school’s history to enroll as a freshman. By the age of 17, she’d earned her MBA, but not many friends. After graduation, Lila spent a year “in Europe.” When she returned, she was unrecognizable to even her family. A few years interning on Madison Avenue and among the elite of Washington, D.C. taught her the practical realities of both business and politics, leading her inevitably to the city in which she could most comfortably re-invent herself: Hollywood.
