03: Emil Beheshti

Live From Your Class with Jamie Mason Cohen

Emil Beheshti is an actor and producer known for recent remake of The Magnificent Seven, Big Momma's House 2, and Puppy Love. What can teachers or business leaders learn from professional actors to help them reach students or colleagues who seem disconnected and unmotivated to learn and grow? How can you use the skills of a professional actor to reach your most challenging students or prepare for a difficult meeting at work in which you have been asked to present? Emil and I worked together on a short film I directed and he starred in called, CHANCE. He has had the courage to pursue his goal of being a professional actor and succeed, while being a committed and loving husband and father of two, and finding time to produce films, plays and initiate entrepreneurial projects.
