CHRIS MONTGOMERY BENDER Hollywood Talent Agent/White House Lawyer

Chris Montgomery Bender is the head of Prodigy Talent, a Hollywood Talent Agency and a former White House lawyer. Check out this episode!

He has some great stories to tell and Bob Brill brings them out with his unique interviewing style. Enjoy! Check out this episode! When you meet Rock Riddle and sit down to talk with him you realize he was born to do two things in life; be a wrestler and to be a Hollywood publicist. Both of which he has been and currently is. And he's always dapper no matter where he is. In my weekly Podcast; “Interesting People with Bob Brill” which you can find on iTunes and via many APPs, I sat down with Rock to talk about what makes a teen-age boy suddenly decide he wants to be a wrestler.
