Episode 20 – Kimberly Butler McMillan (Marty Butler – Daughter)

This episode’s guest, Kimberly Butler McMillan, I met way back when the short film, A Chess Player that I produced, was screening in the Beaufort International Film Festival.

For this episode I got to meet and chat with someone from my hometown area of Myrtle Beach, SC. He’s the dad of the amazing, and soon to be even more famous, Jumanji actress Madison Iseman. Her dad, John Iseman, was introduced to me by a mutual friend and he was right in saying, John is the nicest, most down to earth retired dentist you’ll ever meet. Plus he’s so level headed in dealing with a daughter who was determined to move to Hollywood and make it big time. It’s a dad’s perspective of Hollywood and his baby girl. #Jumanji #MyrtleBeachSC
