Mike and cohost, actress Kayden Tokarski chatted with actress Kariana Karhu on ConversationsRadio Ep.206. Kariana stars as young 'Lauren Lane' - opposite Sophie Turner in 'TRUST' - now in theaters!

Kariana is an American film and television actress. After enjoying early success in commercials with many well-known brands, including a Super Bowl commercial with Children's Health, she seamlessly transitioned to supporting roles in several full-length feature films. At the age of seven, she booked the pivotal role of Lily Nill in Amazon Prime's 2021 original series 'Panic' - appearing in nine of the ten episodes.

In 2023, she starred in the title role of Hope in a short film 'Hope' that won her several best acting awards in the film festival circuit, including a Special Jury award of Outstanding Acting Achievement. Kariana most recently wrapped filming Bethesda, an upcoming thriller directed by the multi-talented Lewis brothers and starring an ensemble cast to include Max Martini, Brianna Hildebrand, James Landry Hebert and Drew Van Acker. Bethesda is set to be released sometime in 2026. Known for her innate ability to bring characters to life in compelling and charismatic ways, along with her talent for enhancing a role while working within both scripted and improvised dialogue that, as others in the industry have said, brings more to the table with her performances, Kariana is establishing herself as a standout actress and one to watch as she continues to develop complex and creative characters in the roles she takes on. She’s tested for series regular roles with Disney Branded Television two times in the last year.
