🎙️ Dope People Podcast | EPISODE 50 – LIVE with Actor Khalil Everage (IMDB)

This is more than just a milestone — it’s a movement.

Welcome to Episode 50 of the Dope People Podcast — our first-ever LIVE and in-person recording in front of a studio audience! We went big for this one and brought out one of Chicago’s brightest rising stars in film and television: Khalil Everage.

Khalil is a proud Chicago native and breakout actor known for his roles in:

• 🎬 Beats (Netflix) with Anthony Anderson
• 🥋 Cobra Kai (Netflix) as Chris
• 🏀 Shooting Stars (Peacock) as Sian Cotton
• 🎥 The Crusades and several indie projects

In this powerful, high-energy conversation, Khalil shares his journey from the South Side of Chicago to the big screen — the grind, the growth, and the gratitude. We talk about what it means to be a young Black actor navigating fame, what keeps him grounded, and why repping Chicago will always be part of his brand.

This live episode was recorded on April 18, 2025, during the Chicago Streetwear Convention’s opening night at SpaceISH. The room was electric, the audience was live, and the vibes were next level.

The Dope People Podcast is where culture meets purpose. And with this 50th episode, we’re stepping into a new era of storytelling — LIVE and in full effect.
