Nicolas Cage was born Nicolas Kim Coppola in Long Beach, California, the son of comparative literature professor August Coppola (whose brother is director Francis Ford Coppola) and dancer/choreographer Joy Vogelsang. He is of Italian (father) and Polish and German (mother) descent. Cage changed his name early in his career to make his own reputation, succeeding brilliantly with a host of classic, quirky roles by the late 1980s.
Initially studying theatre at Beverly Hills High School (though he dropped out at seventeen), he secured a bit part in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) -- most of which was cut, dashing his hopes and leading to a job selling popcorn at the Fairfax Theater, thinking that would be the only route to a movie career. But a job reading lines with actors auditioning for uncle Francis' Rumble Fish (1983) landed him a role in that film, followed by the punk-rocker in Valley Girl (1983), which was released first and truly launched his career.
His one-time passion for method acting reached a personal limit when he smashed a street-vendor's remote-control car to achieve the sense of rage needed for his gangster character in The Cotton Club (1984).
In his early 20s, he dated Jenny Wright for two years and later linked to Uma Thurman. After a relationship of several years with Christina Fulton, a model, they split amicably and share custody of a son, Weston Cage (b. 1990). He also has a son with his ex-wife, Alice Kim Cage.- Actress

Jeremy Lee Renner was born in Modesto, California, the son of Valerie
(Tague) and Lee Renner, who managed a bowling alley. After a tumultuous yet
happy childhood with his four younger siblings, Renner graduated from Beyer
High School and attended Modesto Junior College. He explored several
areas of study, including computer science, criminology, and
psychology, before the theater department, with its freedom of
emotional expression, drew him in.
However, Renner recognized the potential in acting as much through the
local police academy as through drama classes. During his second year
at Modesto Junior College, Renner role-played a domestic disturbance
perpetrator as part of a police-training exercise for an easy $50.
Deciding to shift his focus away from schoolwork, Renner left college
and moved to San Francisco to study at the American Conservatory
Theater. From there he moved to Hawaii and, in 1993, to Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, Renner devoted himself to theater, most notably
starring in and co-directing the critically acclaimed "Search and
Destroy." He pursued other projects during this time as well, landing
his first film role in 1995's
National Lampoon's Senior Trip (1995).
After several commercials and supporting roles in television movies and
series, Renner captured the attention of critics with his gripping,
complex portrayal of the infamous serial killer in the 2002 film
Dahmer (2002). Renner's performance, which
earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination, is especially
remarkable for painting a humane and sympathetic, yet deeply
disturbing, portrait of the title character.
In 2003, Renner took a break from small indie films to work on his
first commercially successful movie,
S.W.A.T. (2003), with
Colin Farrell. In 2005, he played
the leading role in Neo Ned (2005) as an
institutionalized white supremacist in love with a black girl, winning
the Palm Beach International Film Festival's best actor award. Renner's
pivotal supporting roles in 2005's
12 and Holding (2005) and
North Country (2005) earned him
accolades from critics, and his 2007 turn in
Take (2007) garnered him the best actor
award at California's Independent Film Festival. Also in 2007, Renner
played a leading role in the horror film
28 Weeks Later (2007) as well as a
supporting role in the underrated Western epic
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007),
with Casey Affleck,
Brad Pitt, and
Sam Rockwell.
Renner's depiction of Jeffrey Dahmer in 2002 caught the attention of
director Kathryn Bigelow, and, in 2008,
she cast him in his most famous role as Sergeant First Class William
James in The Hurt Locker (2008).
Renner's performance as a single-minded bomb specialist scored him an
Academy Award nomination for best actor. He also earned best actor
nominations from the Independent Spirit Awards, the Screen Actors
Guild, and the BAFTA Awards, as well as wins in this category from
several film critics groups.
In 2009, Renner starred in the short-lived TV series,
The Unusuals (2009), and in 2010
he played the chilling but loyal criminal Jem in
Ben Affleck bank-heist thriller
The Town (2010). In the fall of 2010,
Renner began filming
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011). He has also since starred in The Avengers (2012), American Hustle (2013), and Kill the Messenger (2014).
Renner's strengths as an actor derive not only from his expressive eyes
but also from his ability to thoroughly embody the characters he
portrays. His visceral depiction of these individuals captivates
audiences and empowers him to steal scenes in many of his films, even
when playing a minor role. Renner gravitates toward flawed,
complicated, three-dimensional characters that allow him to explore new
territory within himself.
In addition to his work as an actor, Renner continues to cultivate his
lifelong love of music. A singer, songwriter, and musician, he
performed with the band Sons of Ben early in his career. Scenes in
Love Comes to the Executioner (2006),
North Country (2005), and
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
briefly showcase Renner's singing talents.
Despite traveling the world for film roles and, recently, as a United
Nations Goodwill Peace Ambassador to raise awareness for mine-clearing
efforts in Afghanistan, Renner remains close to his roots. In 2010,
Modesto Junior College presented him the Distinguished Alumnus award in
recognition of his body of work as an actor. He also headlined at a
benefit for Modesto's Gallo Center for the Arts in the fall of 2010.
Renner maintains a sense of humility and gratitude, even in the wake of
his recent successes and recognition. He keeps himself grounded by
renovating and restoring old and rundown iconic Hollywood homes, an
enterprise he began back in his early days in Los Angeles. He values
loyalty and a sense of both age and history, and enjoys the opportunity
to help conserve these qualities in a town that favors the young and
the new.- Actress

Erin Gray was born on January 7, 1950 in Honolulu, Hawaii. Gray moved
with her family from Hawaii to California when she was eight years old
and graduated from Pacific Palisades High School. She was fifteen when
a chance meeting with Nina Blanchard,
head of one of Hollywood's top model agencies, convinced her what she
wanted to do in life. Moving to New York City, she became one of the
town's most sought-after models, in elite company with
Farrah Fawcett,
Veronica Hamel and
Susan Blakely. Television viewers
encountered her commercials for Breck, Max Factor, Clairol, Camay Soap
and RC Cola, and a classic spot--for English Leather cologne--in which
she provocatively declared, "My men wear English Leather--or they wear
nothing at all!" Between modeling assignments, she studied acting with
well-known coach
Warren Robertson and, when
television movie offers came in, she was ready.
Universal was impressed by her performances on such series as
Police Story (1973) and
Gibbsville (1976) and signed her
to a seven-year contract. Under that pact, the studio co-starred her as
a tough-minded newspaper reporter in
Irwin Shaw's
Evening in Byzantium (1978).
Her performance scored with both critics and audiences, and led
directly to her role as Colonel Wilma Deering in
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979).
As a result, she has become a regular commuter between Hollywood and
New York City, the hub of the magazine and fashion world. Many women
admired her commanding role as Colonel Wilma Deering, while many men
admired her beautiful looks and shapely figure.- Kozlowski is a Juilliard graduate with Broadway play experience, who found movie success in the billabongs of Australia with frequent co-star Paul Hogan.

His low-keyed intensity, deep-voiced somberness, pale skin, puffy-eyed
baby face and crop of carrot-red hair are all obvious and intriguing
trademarks of TV star David Caruso. A hugely popular item in the 1990s
as a result of a smash crime series, he got way too caught up in all
the hoopla surrounding him. Those working with him on the innovative
cop series were not exactly unhappy when he decided to abandon ship
after only one season in order to pursue movie star fame. Despite his
own predictions, the show prospered quite well after the loss of his
focal character...but it would be a major understatement to state that
Caruso did not fare as well.
TV to film crossover fame is tricky and David did not have the right
formula to pull it off. Bad judgment calls, bad publicity after his
departure from his TV series, a couple of poor film vehicles, and
virtual unemployment in its wake eventually led him back to the small
screen again a somewhat humbler person. Not many are given a second
chance but Caruso, the enigmatic talent that he is, found gold a second
time as (again) a wan, brooding lead in a hip, unconventional cop
series.
David Stephen Caruso was born in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, the
son of Charles Caruso, a magazine and newspaper editor, and Joan, a
librarian. The Irish Catholic youngster attended elementary and middle
school at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs and then Archbishop Molloy High
School, both in Queens.
Following high school graduation in 1974, he toyed with some commercial
work. A few years later he began to make a slight dent in films. He
first appeared in
Getting Wasted (1980) and
Without Warning (1980), which led
to a succession of secondary roles in such 80s movies as
An Officer and a Gentleman (1982),
First Blood (1982) (as a sheriff's
deputy), Thief of Hearts (1984),
Blue City (1986),
China Girl (1987) and
Twins (1988). But the break into
full-fledged TV stardom proved elusive. It was argued that the thin and
lanky actor was not handsome enough to become a leading man in film and
didn't have the charisma credentials to carry a big movie.
Making his unbilled debut in a daytime episode of "Ryan's Hope", TV
proved to be a more inviting medium and police stories seemed to be the
name of the game for him. He had a strong recurring role as a gang
leader on
Hill Street Blues (1981)
and showed to good advantage in the series
Crime Story (1986). This sudden
notoriety on police TV gave way to some even stronger stuff in
streetwise film crimers such as
King of New York (1990) as a cop
gone bad, and
Mad Dog and Glory (1993), in
which he earned excellent marks as a cynical urban cop. But his
star-making role came via TV and his portrayal of Detective John Kelly
the critically-acclaimed series
NYPD Blue (1993). Audience
adoration was immediate.
His volatile but principled character on the gritty, boldly-written,
unconventional show earned him impressive and sexy notices with a
Golden Globe Award and Emmy nomination placed in his hands. Confident
now that he could be a magnetic force in front of a movie camera,
stories began to circulate that the instant fame had gone to his head,
that he was moody, demanding and difficult on the set, and that he was
quickly alienating not only his co-stars but the show's directors and
writers.
Ready to prove all those naysayers wrong about his chances in film,
Caruso made tabloid headlines when he announced his decision to leave
the highly-rated show after only one season (and only four episodes
into the second season) to pursue film stardom. Rumors also bounced
around that he left following unresolved salary negotiations. For
whatever reason, he wasted no time in scouting out movie vehicles for
himself. Again, he focused on his specialty -- crime thrillers. The
first, Kiss of Death (1995), in
which he played a petty thief trying to go straight, did not go over
well box-office-wise despite its good reviews, and the second,
Jade (1995), in which he portrayed a
homicide detective, was a grisly, unappetizing thriller that was given
the thumbs down almost immediately. As a comeuppance for coming up
short, he was nominated for the dubious "Razzie" award as the "Worst
New Star" of those two films. With no movie releases at all in 1996, by
the time
Cold Around the Heart (1997)
was released, in which he played a jewel thief who is betrayed by his
sexy partner-in-crime (Kelly Lynch),
the TV star had lost all of his movie star momentum.
In 1997, Caruso made an inauspicious return to the small screen as the
placid title prosecutor
Michael Hayes (1997), a law
series, but it was a very short-lived experience. Audiences had become
fickle and indifferent to his "heralded comeback". Finding a serious
lack of offers, he returned to supporting others in films such as
Russell Crowe in
Proof of Life (2000), and copped a
couple of leads for himself in such low-budgeted films as
Session 9 (2001) and the Canadian film
Black Point (2002).
But in 2002, he found TV magic once again behind a badge as Lt. Horatio
Caine in the popular CSI spin-off series
CSI: Miami (2002). Strongly
anchoring the show, which focuses more on crime methodology and
whodunnit twists than character development, Caruso has nevertheless
earned cult fame for his slick demeanor and deliberately slow speech
patterns, reminding one of
William Shatner's heady, methodical
approach to Captain Kirk. Known for his deep, dry tones and parade of
droll one-liners, many of which include him slipping on his dark shades
during mid-sentence, he has been the subject of many a late-nite parody
and satire.
A difficult interviewee who has admitted to keeping his monumental ego
in check since his return to TV, he has been little seen since the "Miami" series ended in 2012 after ten season. David has been married and divorced
three times, which includes a brief 1980s union to actress
Rachel Ticotin. He has a daughter, Greta,
from that union. On the sly, Caruso was a co-owner of now long-defunct
Steam, a clothing and furniture store in Miami, Florida. He and his
current girlfriend (since 2005), Liza Marquez, have two children -- son
Marquez Anthony and and daughter, Paloma Raquel.- Actor

His portrayal of Paan Singh Tomar in the acclaimed biographical sports drama Paan Singh Tomar (2011) won him the National Film Award for Best Actor and a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor.

Alan Napier was born on January 7, 1903 in Kings Norton, Worcestershire,
England. Tall, distinguished-looking English character actor with
aristocratic bearing and precisely modulated voice. A cousin of the
former British Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain, he studied at
the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and spent his formative years as an
actor with Oxford Repertory and, from 1924, on the London stage. During
the 1930s, he found his niche in Shakespearean roles. His
characterisation of Menenius in a 1954 Boston revival of "Coriolanus"
was described in the Christian Science Monitor (January 23, 1954) as
imbued with "benevolent distinction and with some of the comic quality
of the part". However, by that time, Napier had largely forsaken the
stage for the screen.
In 1939, Alan Napier immigrated to America and, in the course of nearly
five decades, appeared in film and on television as noblemen,
manservants and doctors. His gaunt, suave, sometimes bespectacled
characters could be kindly or nefarious. He gave good support in the
supernatural thriller
The Uninvited (1944) and lent
gravitas to his role of Cicero in
Julius Caesar (1953). However, he
is best remembered as the ever reliable, and very English, butler
Alfred Pennyworth on Batman (1966),
starring Adam West. Napier's second
wife, Aileen Dickens Bouchier Hawksley (nicknamed "Gypsy"), was a
great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens.
Alan Napier died at age 85 of pneumonia in Santa Monica, California on
August 8, 1988.- Actress
