Owen Llewelyn

 

Owen Llewelyn is a British actor who is currently making waves in the horror and indie film industry. His serial-killer villain, The R.I.P Man, joins the short list of iconic horror characters, which includes Michael Myers from Halloween (played by Nick Castle), Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (played by Gunnar Hansen), and Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street (played by Robert Englund).

 

The R.I.P Man (Rest In Pain) follows the story of a serial killer with a rare oral condition called Anodontia (no teeth), who begins to target young adults and removes a single tooth from each victim. Can a family's kept secret unfold the truth and help prevent the murders from continuing?

 

Llewelyn has been professionally acting for the past 17 years on stage and screen.  His screen work includes credits in films and series such as The R.I.P. Man (2025), Ghoul Squad (2025), and Can’t Go Home Again (2021), as well as earlier roles in projects such as Hot Chicks (a 2020 web series) and Stabbed Souls (a feature film). 

 

His portrayal of the menacing lead, Alden Pick, in the critically acclaimed 2025 horror-thriller, The R.I.P. Man, has garnered substantial attention. He won Best Actor at the 2025 Haunted House FearFest for his performance.

 

He will reprise his role as Alden Pick in the upcoming film R.I.P Man 2, which is currently in production. 

 

The R.I.P Man is directed by Jamie Langlands and written and produced by Rhys Thompson.

Joining me is composer Brian Tyler, whose original score for Nuremberg has earned Oscar shortlist recognition and a place on the BAFTA longlist. He joins us as part of our Hollywood Film Composers Series, presented by The Jeremiah Show with Executive Producer Carol Connors.

 

Brian is an award-winning composer, multi-instrumentalist, and conductor with a career spanning more than 100 films and music that has grossed over $17 billion worldwide. In this conversation, we focus on Nuremberg—directed by James Vanderbilt—and the weight of scoring a film that confronts the Holocaust and the trials that followed.

 

Brian explains why he had to start decades earlier, musically tracing the film's history back to the 1930s before writing a single frame. That process became a six-hour symphonic backstory, shaping themes of memory, justice, and empathy, including difficult choices like incorporating bell tones associated with the camps.

 

The discussion then turns deeply personal, as Brian shares how completing Nuremberg coincided with surviving a life-threatening double brain hemorrhage—an experience that reshaped how he thinks about time, purpose, and responsibility. It’s a conversation about music as moral witness, and how a score can carry history into the present tense.

The Jeremiah Show airs on Radio Evolve Santa Barbara on Monday - Friday, 10 am - 12 pm - #TuneIn! -  https://radio-evolve.rocks/

In this episode of The Jeremiah Show, Grammy-winning guitarist and composer Janet Robin sits down with Jeremiah for a wide-ranging conversation about the moments—and mentors—that shaped her life in music.

 

Janet shares how guitar became her “security blanket” as a kid, and how studying one-on-one with Randy Rhoades (as his youngest student and the only girl in his class) gave her both technique and confidence—especially his insistence that students develop their own sound.

 

From her early years playing clubs in L.A. with the all-female band Precious Metal (and the whirlwind of being discovered and signed young), to being handpicked by Lindsey Buckingham for a demanding “guitar army” tour that sharpened her discipline and pushed her toward solo work, Janet traces a career built on hustle, professionalism, and creativity.

 

She also discusses coaching Jennifer Jason Leigh for The Hateful Eight, the unforgettable story behind the film’s famously smashed vintage Martin, and the full-circle Grammy win with The String Revolution for their instrumental “Folsom Prison Blues” recorded at Cash Cabin with John Carter Cash and guest guitarist Tommy Emmanuel—plus what’s next, including new releases, touring, and a blues project drawing from Library of Congress recordings.

THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Alan Ward

Milwaukee-born rapper and songwriter Alan Ward joins The Jeremiah Show New Year's Eve for a candid conversation about craft, identity, and what it really means to build a career the hard way—fully independent, one record at a time. 

He’s been called a torchbearer of the golden era of rap, transporting listeners back to the glory days of backpack rap. He’s known for combining modern hip-hop with old-school heart, sharing self-discovery, independence, and perseverance in his powerful lyrical rhymes.  He explains how he hears “words as music” and why honest storytelling still matters in an algorithm-driven era. 

 

From growing up in Milwaukee’s sharply divided neighborhoods to his new life in Baltimore, Ward reflects on artistic integrity and the discipline of staying true to himself by avoiding shortcuts in the industry. 

 

The episode closes, premiering Alan Ward’s latest single, “Great Time” featuring 4 The Brotherhood—a new chapter in his evolving sound.

 

“Rappers like Alan Ward are carrying the torch for Milwaukee, even from outside of the city” — Radio Milwaukee.
