InvocationHandler in Kotlin

I'm reading Head First: Design Patterns (2nd ed) and I followed the code sample but instead of using Java, I used Kotlin. Currently, I'm in a chapter tackling about proxy protection pattern and having difficulty to run it with Kotlin. Please see the code and exceptions below.

Sample code

interface Person {
    fun getName(): String
    fun setName(name: String)
}

class PersonImpl : Person {
    private var _name: String = ""
    override fun getName(): String = _name
    override fun setName(name: String) {
        _name = name
    }
}

class OwnerInvocationHandler(private val person: Person) : InvocationHandler {
    override fun invoke(proxy: Any?, method: Method, args: Array<Any>?): Any? {
        try {
            val methodName = method.name
            if (methodName.isNullOrEmpty())
                return null

            if (methodName.startsWith("get")) {
//              return method.invoke(proxy, *(args ?: arrayOfNulls<Any>(0))) // << Encountered "EXCEPTION B" below
//              return method.invoke(proxy, *(args ?: emptyArray()))         // << Encountered "EXCEPTION B" below
//              return method.invoke(proxy, *args.orEmpty())                 // << Encountered "EXCEPTION B" below
                return method.invoke(proxy, args)                            // << From the code sample, encountered "EXCEPTION A" below
            } else if (methodName.startsWith("set")) {
                return method.invoke(person, args)
            }
        } catch (e: InvocationTargetException) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }
        return null
    }
}

// main.kt
val listOfPeople = arrayListOf<Person>()

fun main(array: Array<String>) {
    initializeDatabase()

    val joe = getPersonFromDatabase("Joe Javabean") ?: return
    val ownerProxy = getOwnerProxy(joe)
    println("Name is ${ownerProxy.getName()}")

}

fun initializeDatabase() {
    val p1 = PersonImpl()
    p1.setName("Joe Javabean")
    listOfPeople.add(p1)
}

fun getOwnerProxy(person: Person): Person {
    return Proxy.newProxyInstance(
            person.javaClass.classLoader,
            person.javaClass.interfaces,
            OwnerInvocationHandler(person)
    ) as Person
}

fun getPersonFromDatabase(name: String): Person? {
    return listOfPeople.firstOrNull { p -> name.contentEquals(p.getName()) }
}
