April Actors of the Month!

Kiara Gomez Glad Bak is an actor, photographer, and musician originally from New Jersey. She has been represented by Malissa Young Management since 2021. She trained at the William Esper Studio, where she developed a strong foundation in her craft and a deep commitment to storytelling.

In 2020, she co-founded the production company Gomez Glad Bak, expanding her creative work into directing/producing/writing. Her recent on-screen credits include HIM, produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions, where she plays the role of "Taylor" opposite Julia Fox. She was also cast in The Devil Wears Prada 2 as "Karly", a Gen Z employee at Runway, sharing a scene with Anne Hathaway. Attending the full table read alongside Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci marked a true “pinch me” moment in her career. Landing on the cutting room floor was another one of those industry firsts that just reminds one that this business is a marathon and sometimes a survival of the fittest. 

Up next, she will appear in the comedy El Tigre, directed by Tyler Cornack, starring Tom Segura, alongside Luke Wilson.

Outside of acting, she is a full-time photographer, shooting fashion campaigns, weddings, brand content, and professional headshots. She also debuted her first photography exhibition last spring, Landscape + Body, a project inspired by New Mexico that explores the visual parallels between the human form and the natural landscape.

In addition to her work in film and photography, she is currently recording music for a collaborative album with fellow musicians from her New Mexico community, set to be released later this year. She contributes vocals and guitar to the project.

A global citizen, she frequently travels and splits her time between New Mexico, New Orleans, New York, and Los Angeles.

Anthony Pyatt grew up in Orlando in a family of bikers, stargazers, & tinkerers. He trained on Broadway, works in NYC and LA, books consistently in the Southeast and is working to make the world a little better with connection, curiosity, honesty, and courage.

Anthony is a believer in the notion that a true triple threat has talent, professionalism, & kindness. He possesses all these qualities while wearing many hats: Actor, Singer, Voice over artist, Musician, Dialect coach, Fight director, and more!

Anthony's notable onscreen credits include the iconic Hades in Descendants Rise of Red in the Descendants Franchise on Disney+, The Summer I Turned Pretty (Amazon), Elsbeth (CBS), Will Trent (ABC). He’s grateful for the work he does and wants to do as much of it as he can in one life, yet, he keeps advice from his mentor & friend (Tony Simotes, Shakespeare & Co) in the back of his mind: “You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.”

Notable stage credits include Hand To God (Jason/Tyrone), Disney’s Newsies The Musical (Jack Kelly), The Glass Menagerie (Tom Wingfield), Hamlet, The Whale (Elder Thomas), Spring Awakening The Musical (Melchior Gabor), Hounds of The Baskervilles (Sherlock Holmes & others).

Coming up next, Anthony is playing a recurring character in M.I.A.(Peacock) and will be a featured character in a game [NDA REDACTED] set to be released later this year. 

Anthony also flies aircraft, talks therapy, & travels as much as possible. He loves animals, escape rooms, dumplings, and foods he hasn’t tried yet. He’s a close relative to Marilyn Monroe; it’s not incredibly relevant, but it’s a fun fact to share!
