Sakis Rouvas was born in the island of Corfu, Greece. Very soon, music and singing became a part of his life. His classmates certainly still remember an unforgettable graduation party where Sakis was the undisputed star of the show as he performed the greatest hits of Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
Gymnastics was also his other passion where he achieved distinctive national awards. He also excelled in pole vaulting and, as an exceptional talent that he was, he became a member of the Hellenic National team.
Sakis made his first professional appearance in Athens, in 1991. It was there where Polygram "discovered" him, offering him the first recording contract. Only a few months later he made an outstanding "debut" by performing at the "Thessaloniki Song Festival". The song titled "Par' ta" won the first award for music and Sakis got his first experience of the enthusiastic fans who immediately sensed that a new star was to rise.
Ever since then things unfold rapidly for the young performer. His first solo album titled "Sakis Rouvas" was released one day after the festival and youth from all around Greece showed their love for him by making the album a massive No. 1 hit. Stands and posters of Sakis Rouvas were decorating every young girl's room while media in Greece were speaking of a new star. Soon the sighs turned into screams and his new live shows became a regular cover story for all kind of magazines.
For four years in a row he monopolises the Hellenic Music Awards as he receives the best New Singer, the Best Song, the Best Stage Performance as well as many other awards. By now he is the top Greek stage performer, appearing together with some of the most prominent Greek singers such as Tolis Voskopoulos, Anna Vissi and Kaiti Garbi. On May 19th 1997 Sakis makes a step towards peace and reconciliation by appearing together with the Turkish pop star Burat Kut in a bi-communal concert organized, in the controlled by the United Nations, territories of the island of Cyprus. The concert becomes a news' headline worldwide thus causing a political impact. For the said concert Sakis was awarded with the international "Ipeksi prize" for the understanding and the cooperation. During the same year, the prize was also awarded to the Undersecretary of State, George A. Papandreou and the former Prime Minister Konstantinos Mitsotakis. Sakis and Burak also recorded a song duet for the Walt Disney movie, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996).
Since 1996, Sakis is happy to have the largest fan club in Greece, the "Sakis Rouvas Fan Club" or "SRFC", with thousands of members coming from all parts of Greece as well as from many other countries. The fan club publishes its own newsletter, which is then sent to every member by post.
After 5 albums (two gold and a platinum one), Sakis moved to Minos - EMI record company. His latest album "Kati apo mena" (A little something of me) on December 1998 became a great hit only a few days after its release. In fact, two months later it became gold. The release was followed by an outstanding live performance in one of the biggest record stores (Virgin Megastores) where thousands of his fans caused a traffic jam in one of the busiest Avenues of Athens. His new album could not but enhance his great success. For once more he was awarded as the Best Stage Performer by the Hellenic Music Awards critiques.
Sakis who always wants to make an impressive appearance on stage using all his performing, singing and dancing skills, made an unprecedented sensation in October 1998 when he appeared on stage wearing a skirt that was especially made for him by the world famous Haute Couture designer Valentino Garavani. Sakis not only made an outstanding performance singing his new album but also became for once more a cover page story as all the clothes he wore for this amazing show were costumes designed by Valentino in person especially for Sakis.
The new millennium found Sakis in the studio recording for his latest album "21 Akatallilos" (21st X-Rated), that was released in March 2000. Once again, it hit the top of the charts from the first day of its release.
In the summer of 2000 Sakis, being the only true pop star in Greece, is asked by the management team of Pepsi to star in the new advertising spot for their summer campaign. This was a great event for the media since no other Greek artist ever, had an offer such as this one. A British team that was brought in Athens especially for this produced the advertising spot for the campaign. The result is absolutely brilliant as the screenplay was written especially for Sakis to fit his image and impact on his young female fans. Again, Sakis is being nationally heard for his actions and receives excellent critique not only from his regular fans but also on a national level. Pepsi launched collectors' cans with Sakis' photos.
Since 2002 Sakis has been promoting his career abroad. He has a five-year contract with the Universal recording company in France and has released an album for the European market with the cooperation of the famous songwriter Desmond Child.
In the spring of 2004 Sakis was asked by the public national TV to represent Greece in the annual Eurovision Song Contest. He performed the song "Shake it" and indeed he shook the whole arena on May 15th, in the finals. He got the third place eventually but won the hearts of millions across Europe.
Thirteen years and nine albums after his first performance he still is one of the most, if not THE most, loved and sought after artists in Greece and he can assure you: "You have seen nothing yet!"- Actor

Luke was born in Manhassett, New York and grew up in Westport, Connecticut.
He's best known for creating films that are unpredictable and surprising to audiences such as his film, "The Girl Next Door." His films tend to have high-concept ideas that combine drama and comedy, or comedy and suspense. Luke writes and directs with a major emphasis on character and utilizes the power of music to help create emotional moments.
He began making movies at the age of 10 when his uncle gave him an old Super-8mm movie camera. As a kid, he was either making movies or watching them. He was brought up on the films of Francis Coppola, Marty Brest, John Hughes, Oliver Stone, Milos Forman and of course, Steven Spielberg. At age 13, Luke's dream was to become a filmmaker.
Luke's mother was concerned about this dream. They didn't know anyone or anything about the movie industry. So without Luke's knowing, his mother wrote a passionate letter to Steven Spielberg, Luke's filmmaking idol. In the letter she asked Spielberg if Luke had what it took and included two of Luke's high school short films.
Miraculously, the letter reached Steven Spielberg, and not only did he watch Luke's high school films, but he was so impressed, he wrote Luke a 2-page handwritten letter.
Spielberg encouraged Luke to continue making films and gave Luke some very telling advice about how to truly "reach" audiences. (Advice Luke claims he still uses today.) At the end of the letter Spielberg wrote: "Maybe someday our paths will cross - your raw beginnings are so similar to my own that I know you'll make it." His letter was the beginning of a story that would come full-circle years later.
Before Luke had graduated high school, he was accepted as an undergraduate to the USC School of Cinema-Television. There he made several student films including "Alive & Kicking," which won awards at many film festivals and Luke signed with his first agent, Jeff Robinov at ICM, at the age of 21. In 1994, Luke graduated from the USC Film School.
In 1999, Luke co-wrote and directed the short film, "The Right Hook." Adam Sandler and producers, Todd Garner and Greg Silverman, saw an early cut of the short and gave Luke his first opportunity to direct a studio feature called "The Animal" starring Rob Schneider. It was also Luke's first experience to direct a film he didn't co-write or write the screenplay himself.
Immediately after "The Animal," Luke went back to creating and directing his own material with the edgy coming-of-age film, "The Girl Next Door." The film was a breakout surprise for audiences and the studios as well. It was a teen comedy that transformed into a character journey combining comedy with realistic danger and poignant emotional moments. The film struck a chord with audiences and demonstrated the types of films Luke wanted to make. It also launched the careers of such new faces as Emile Hirsch, Olivia Wilde, Timothy Olyphant, Paul Dano, Chris Marquette and Elisha Cuthbert.
With the success of "The Girl Next Door," Luke's relationship with his childhood idol, Steven Spielberg, came full-circle. Spielberg happened to be a fan of "The Girl Next Door" and was surprised to discover Luke was the same kid he had written to 16 years earlier encouraging him to be a filmmaker. The two finally sat down together and discussed Luke's ultimate passion projects he's always wanted to make. But Luke was contractually under a first-look deal with 20th Century Fox and New Regency. This prevented Luke from setting up any of his passion projects with Spielberg and DreamWorks at the time.
In 2004, Luke created his film & TV production company, WideAwake, Inc., which gave Luke his first foray into television. He directed the critically acclaimed television pilot, "Aliens in America" for NBC/Universal Studios and the CW Network.
At New Regency, Luke created a few of his passion projects, including the comedy, "Role Models," which he produced for Universal Pictures.
Luke was then approached by producer Molly Smith to direct the film adaptation of the best-selling novel, "Something Borrowed." It was a bit out of his wheelhouse, but Luke was intrigued by the book and wanted to work with Molly Smith. The film was released by Warner Brothers in May 2011. The film became a cult hit and the studio is now developing the sequel.
Luke went back to directing his own material with the action-comedy, "Let's Be Cops," a film he developed from scratch which he co-wrote, directed and produced at 20th Century Fox. Like he successfully did with "The Girl Next Door," Luke cast newer faces such as Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr., Keegan-Michael Key (from "Key & Peele"), Nina Dobrev, Rob Riggle and a pivotal role by Andy Garcia.
20th Century Fox released "Let's Be Cops" on August 13th, 2014. The film was made for a total of $17 million and grossed over $137 million worldwide, becoming one of the most profitable films for Fox in 2014.
In January 2015, Luke sold his passion project, "Destiny," to Steven Spielberg and Amblin Partners. Luke has co-written the screenplay with Dana Stevens and will direct it. He will produce with Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis. "Destiny" has been the one film Luke has wanted to make since 1997.
Luke is currently attached to direct and produce the film, "The Holiday Club" at 20th Century Fox with Chernin Entertainment, and the films, "Slingshot," "Pop," and "The Last Bachelor."
In television, Luke is currently creating series specifically for cable. He co-created and co-wrote "The Greener Grass," which he will direct and executive produce.- Christopher Downs was born on 6 February 1972 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

'Typhoon' by director Kwak Kyung-Taek (Friend), had Jang star as a modern-day pirate who has been betrayed by both North and South Korea and set another new standard for such a distinct kind of character.

First known as a rapper who became one of the more prominent voices in hip-hop's new millennium renaissance, Common later transitioned into acting. He was born in Chicago, and is the son of educator Dr. Mahalia Ann Hines and Lonnie Lynn, an ABA basketball player turned youth counselor.
On October 6, 1992, Common released his first LP, "Can I Borrow A Dollar?" under the Common Sense moniker. Tracks like "Charm's Alarm" and "Breaker 1-9" established him as a lyricist with wit, street-smarts, and love for extended similes, while tracks like "Heidi Hoe" would touch on the misogyny that would surface sparingly on future work.
In 1994 he released "Resurrection", notable for the smooth 'Large Professor' produced title cut as well as "I Used To Love H.E.R.", an ode to hip-hop. This album further increased his underground reputation while giving the hip-hop nation a new solid conscientious voice in a year that was excellent for underground artists (Nas, Jeru the Damaja, Digable Planet, et al.)
After a name change brought on by a lawsuit, Common reemerged in 1997 with "One Day It'll All Make Sense". With guests ranging from Erykah Badu to Canibus to De La Soul and production help from mainstays No I.D. and Dug Infinite, the album had a distinctly underground flair. His big mainstream breakthrough album was yet to come.
After an appearance on The Roots smash 1999 album, "Things Fall Apart," Common moved to MCA Records. He soon was in the studio collaborating with the Okayplayer collective and with help from the forward-thinking production troupe Questlove (aka Questlove), J Dilla, James Poyser, et al), he released his fourth album, "Like Water For Chocolate" in the spring of 2000. With its varied sonic plateau (Afrobeat, funk, and old-school soul) it was much different from previous outings. On the strength of tracks like the 'DJ Premier' produced banger "The 6th Sense", the album was a success, becoming a worthy addition to "The Next Movement".
In 2003 he released "Electric Circus". The album, a hip-hop/funk/soul/rock/psychedelia hybrid, polarized hip-hop fans like no other album has in recent memory. Common has also chosen to redefine himself, swearing off the alcohol, marijuana, and fornication that he had once indulged in.
Also in 2003 he appeared in a TV sitcom episode. With only a couple minor roles between 2003 and 2004, in January of 2007 he made his big screen debut.- Stunts
