    KC Clyde

    KC believes in multi-dimensional work and multi-dimensional artists. He has built a robust acting career with recurring roles on the hit series Landman and Yellowstone, as well as a guest-starring role on Kung Fu. KC also shined in a series regular role on A Thousand Tomorrows, and showcased his talent in films such as On the Run, Alien Country, and Possessions.

    KC’s filmography includes standout performances in Everybody Loves Somebody, where he starred opposite Karla Souza, and Big Kill, a late 1800s period piece alongside Jason Patric. He shared the screen with Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke in War Pigs, a high-stakes WWII action film, and brought depth to the heavy drama Run The Tide, set against the backdrop of two brothers escaping their past.

    On television, KC’s work extends to Do No Harm for NBC and Veronica Mars for The CW, with multiple pilots and guest star appearances on series like Swallow Your Bliss, Seer, ER, and Crossing Jordan. His talent for both drama and nuanced storytelling is also evident in his work on Friends With Money, Something New, I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, and Stranger Than Fiction.

    Beyond his acting career, KC is dedicated to the art of teaching. He began his journey as an instructor at The Margie Haber Studio, where his dynamic approach quickly made him a student favorite. His ability to connect with actors and guide them through script analysis, scene study, audition techniques, movement, Alexander technique, emotion mapping, and voice has made him a sought-after teacher.

    KC now channels his passion for acting and teaching into the Clyde Bernardy Acting Studio, providing students with the opportunity to learn from his vast experience and cultivate their own multi-dimensional artistry.

This is the season to be… grateful? But what if This is the season to be… grateful?
But what if gratitude feels out of reach?

Let’s be honest: it’s been a lot. A lot that’s made us question everything. The weight of it all is real. The scale has been tipping away from gratitude for many of us... HARD.

So, let’s start here: you don’t have to force it. 
You’re allowed to feel the heaviness, to sit with the uncertainty and frustration. That’s part of this journey—and part of what makes you a storyteller. You feel deeply, and you use that to bring stories to life in ways no one else can.

But let’s also remember that gratitude doesn’t have to be grand. It doesn’t have to look like big wins or massive breakthroughs. Maybe today it’s the warmth of your coffee, finding solace in a favorite book or script, the camaraderie of class or a self-tape with a friend, or simply having the space to reflect. 

Gratitude can be small. But small doesn’t mean insignificant.

If gratitude still feels too far away, try this instead: curiosity.

What is this season teaching you?

What moments, however fleeting, are still lighting that tiny spark inside?

This is the season to honor your journey—the ups, the downs, and the maddening pauses in between. To celebrate your resilience, your passion, and your commitment to your craft. You’ve survived one of the hardest years the industry has thrown at us. That says something about you. We will survive...this other thing. TOGETHER. This says something about us. 

Gratitude will find its way back, in time. But for now, trust that wherever you are, it’s exactly where you’re supposed to be.
 
Keep showing up. Keep creating. Keep believing in the power of your story. Because it matters. You matter. 🎥💫

Here’s a quick behind the scenes look at KC’s Here’s a quick behind the scenes look at KC’s time preparing for his role on the upcoming Paramount+ Series, Landman!

Sometimes as an actor you get up at the butt crack of dawn, get into a town car, hop on a flight, check into a hotel get back into car go to a wardrobe fitting for 2 hours, get back into a car, fall asleep on the drive back to the hotel room and all of that is before lunch. But you know what? I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
