It's been a busy Summer and other than doing film/commercial work, and being in most of the Bank Of America branches across the country (even in some commercials) , he has been doing some  "giving somethin' back " work as well...Kim attended the Great Plains Theatre Conference in Omaha, Nebraska  in May where he was a panelist giving the actors' perspective to the new plays being "stage-read" at the conference and he was also given the honor of directing three staged readings of three great artists - with the assistance of Rob Baker.  From there he went to the Last Frontier Theatre Conference in Valdez, Alaska  in June where he had the fantastic opportunity to participate in staged readings and to serve on a few panels and give feedback to the playwrights from the actor's perspective.
