THE ACCESS TEAM
Chas Cowing
Chas served 18 years in the voice-over department J Michael Bloom & Associates before his current sentence of 15 years to life at Access Talent. He graduated from the Hotchkiss School before attending Colby College and Yale. Chas lives on the UpperEast Side of New York City with his wife, talented son and a small but combative poodle named Spartacus. When Spartacus is in the office, he guards it ferociously, regularly terrorizing delivery people, especially the mailperson. Chas is expected to continue his sentence as owner, agent, computer repair-person and bottle-washer at Access Talent until he ends up…well, wherever old agents go to scream: “Hey you kids, get off the lawn!”

Linda lives in Cold Spring NY with her partner of thirty-five years and two adult, but not yet mature boys ages 25 and 22. She does live in hope that they will eventually mature as their brains knit together. Her house will be full when both boys graduate college this year and come home to live with Hudson, a socially entitled Pekingese who has gotten more full of himself after being blessed by the Dalai Lama., and a Russian Tortoise named Zoe who was rescued from an abusive family.
