Kampan Soni: Czech-Indian boy plays a ghost-chaser and a bartender, jokes about cats, doesn't mention girls. With potential nude photos



Ride or Die
on Amazon Prime, features a professional assassin named Judith, being pushed out of the business due to her age, who discovers that baddies are targeting an MP (that's Member of Parliament, to Yanks) and his wife, Debbie.  Who happens to be her "ride or die" (best friend) 
  






I reviewed the first episode.  Not a fan. 

Not much beefcake. We see Judith's hookup (Taylor Napier, left) shirtless, and her mark (Ed Skrein) coming out of the shower. 

No gay characters,  Calum Lynch as Judith's handler gives off a gay vibe, but he flirts with a girl.

Even crowd scenes display endless arrays of male-female couples. 

And there's a nasty bit of queerbaiting.  In an antique warehouse, the PM's wife Debbie gets to a prized apothecary cabinet before celebrity antique dealer Drew Pritchard and his boyfriend.  They fume with envy.  Except the real-life guy is straight.  They just pretended he was gay to fool viewers. 





The only bright spot was Kampan Soni as the cute bartender who Debbie complains to as she downs tequila after tequila.

Kampan grew up in Ahmendabad, in Gujarat State in western India, and graduated from St. Xavier High School in 2018.



He then moved to Prague to attend the Czech University of Life Sciences, where he received a B.Sci. in Agriculture and Food Sciences in 2022.  He is currently a Global Mobility Specialist at  Amazon Prague, which seems to involve Human Resources.









Plus he does comedy povs: "Making you question things you never noticed: Facts, Psychology, Hidden History"

"Why does the ATM pin have only four digits?"
"What do cats really think about?" 
"Why do we like horror movies?"

"Why are popcorns so expensive?"

More after the break.  Caution: Explicit.






He also does acting and modeling.  Kampan is a relatively common name in India, so I'm not sure which of the n*de photos is actually our boy.


Kampan has two on-screen acting roles: Ride or Die and the Czech comedy series To se vysvětlí soudruzi! (That will be explained, Comrades!).  During the Communist era, the paranormal investigator Shushrut (Kampan) faces a man frozen in an ice cube, a villainous puppet, a decadent Western superhero, a ghost that shoots lightning bolts, a monster who attacks anyone who doesn't sing, and other X-Files-type beasties.















I'm not sure why he's dressed as a Native American here.













Out gay actor Jan Cina played his co-worker at the Paranormal Institute.
