Back to EpisodesTake #34 | How a Hollywood PA Became ‘Kieran Culkin’ for a Night on Live TV
Description
In this episode of Call Sheet Confessions, host Mia LePage sits down with LA-based production assistant and coincidental on‑camera talent Kevin Brew for a brutally honest, hilarious deep dive into what it’s really like working as a PA in Hollywood.
Kevin and Mia first met as production assistants on Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, and things took a wild turn when the writers realized Kevin’s voice sounded uncannily like Kieran Culkin—landing him an on‑camera bit performing Kieran’s Oscar speech and making him SAG-eligible overnight.
From reality TV mayhem on Let’s Marry Harry, American Idol, and Foul Play, to surviving the freelance hustle, crashing trucks, falling asleep on the job, and figuring out how not to get blacklisted, Kevin shares unfiltered stories and real advice for anyone trying to break into film & TV.

What does a day in the life of a PA actually look like?
What gets PAs rehired vs. quietly never called again?
How do you navigate ego, respect, and “minion” treatment on set?
How do you survive the ups and downs of freelance in Hollywood? …this episode is for you.
