Whenever you think of two chuckleheads going on tangents or bad puns or excessive, exhaustive, obscene amounts of research into questions you never thought to ask, think: Banana for Scale with Lester Ryan Clark and Kynan Dias—show your support today!
Lester is an actor, writer, model, and teacher. Currently based in Los Angeles, he got his start doing community theater in his hometown of Las Vegas. After graduating from UNLV, he moved to Japan, where he continued performing in local theatre productions (some entirely in Japanese!) and wrote and performed his own short films and plays.
Kynan Dias is an actor, award-winning screenwriter, and educator who has been teaching at UNLV FILM since 2008. His films often blend humor and tragedy, and he co-hosts a series of meticulously researched, yet comedic film history podcasts on the TruStory.FM network. Kynan’s research interests include animation history, studio system economics, queer coding in classic film, and highlighting previously unsung collaborators within major film authors’ historiographies.
