Ryan Kiser "Noah" - Ryan grew up in a southwest suburb of Minneapolis. While growing up Ryan quickly took to his local theater. Later, Ryan went to college and completed a degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota. After what he felt was an unfulfilling run at the corporate game, a friend encouraged him to re-explore his undeniable passion of acting. Ryan took a class at a well renowned theater and immediately dove back in as he experienced the love he had experienced growing up as a kid. Ryan took every chance he could to refine his craft through instruction and practice. It wasn't long before he had caught the attention of people in the independent film community. He quickly booked several principal roles. He has portrayed a very wide range of characters crediting his unique portrayals to, among other things, his background in psychology, his love of the human condition, and his dedication to his craft. Ryan gained critical acclaim for his portrayal of Charles Manson in the Short Film Lie (2009/I). He also had to flex his acting muscles portraying a socially inept, home-schooled nerd in Potpourri (2011). Other roles included a beer drinking troublemaker in Hunting Buddies (2009), an ego-maniac, womanizing lead singer in a web series called "One Night Stand" (2010) and a charming but dangerous sociopath in Restraining Hollywood's In Harm's Way (2011).

Brock Dombrovski "Sid" - Having played roles in both "Trust Me" and "People Talk," Brock is never very far away from Restraining Hollywood Productions, and seemed like an obvious choice for Potpourri. He was considered for a few different roles before being offered the character of "Sid." Brock is a tall, menacing dude - making it all the more funny to see him as a sniveling, whining, screaming, homophobe. Brock's on set antics are unrivaled.

Kareem Wazwaz "Wes" - Kareem is among the many seasoned actors to have worked with both Diviney Pictures and Restraining Hollywood.

Nathan Tymoshuk "Williams" - When it came time to find an actor to play the cocky, smug, DEA Agent Williams in Potpourri, the producers were at a loss.

Kyle became an integral part of Elliot's film school career, lending his unrivaled on-screen silliness to many projects.
