Jason Lee
Earl J. Hickey
Born in Orange County, California, USA but raised in Huntington Beach, California, USA. A good-looking goof with a flair for comedy, Lee became a professional skateboarder in his teens. He segued to acting in his twenties with a supporting role in Kevin Smith's 1995 comedy Mallrats. The movie went bust but Lee and Smith became buddies and worked together on a number of subsequent projects. Although this appealing actor popped up in a handful of major Hollywood releases, he remained primarily an indie darling, known for his quirky performances and strangely named son, Pilot Inspektor. In 2005, Lee took a gamble on the small screen as the star and producer of My Name Is Earl, a hilariously offbeat and surprisingly successful sitcom. Jason is also making his move into feature films with a movie coming out in 2006 and two in 2007.moreless -

Beau Bridges
Carl Hickey
He is one of the most versatile of all the Bridges family members.
He was born Lloyd Vernet Bridges, III, on December 9, 1941. Parents Lloyd and Dorothy soon deemed him worthy of the nickname "Beau," after the character in the novel they were reading at the time, Gone With the Wind. He was later joined by brother Jeff and sister Cindy, and the family was now complete.
Like thousands of little boys all over America, Beau was a member of the Cub Scouts. One of the best deeds he ever did was one he probably would have done anyway, even without the encouragement of the scouting program - He realized that their father's frequent work out of town was leaving a void in Jeff's life, so Beau spent extra time with him to make up for it. Consequently, the brothers are still very close.
He has been married twice and is the father of five children - two with his first wife, Julie, and three with his present wife, Wendy. Of all his children, it appears that Jordan is following most in his footsteps, having appeared in twelve films and several television shows so far. Beau has carried on more family traditions than just show business, however. Devotion to his family has been evident throughout his life. As a boy, he loved sports and taught his little brother how to play baseball. Just as his father coached Beau's long-ago Little League team, Beau did the same for his children. Lloyd had given his young sons parts in his television series, and Beau cast his children in some of his films, too. In fact, the Outer Limits episode entitled "The Sandkings" was quite fortunate to have three generations of Bridges working together in it - Lloyd, Beau, and his son Dylan. Lloyd and Beau both starred in the Harts of the West series, then worked together again in one of the patriarch's final films, Meeting Daddy.
While he has appeared in about a hundred films and dozens of television shows to date, he doesn't limit himself to just acting. He's also a gifted director and producer. In a series of Defenders TV movies, for instance, he worked his way up from producer, to co-executive producer, and finally to executive producer. He's a very hard worker and has learned many different aspects of his craft.
A music lover, he has been described as honest, loyal, humble, outgoing, and competitive. He might be a very important presence in the entertainment industry, but he is just as vital to his family. It would be quite difficult to do both well, but it appears that this man has met the challenge.
He was working as Major General Henry "Hank" Landry in the hit tv show Stargate SG-1, until the TV show ended in 2007.moreless -

Craig T. Nelson
Warden Jerry Hazelwood
The son of Bing Crosby's drummer, tall, low-key and expressively deadpan actor Craig T. Nelson began his career in radio as a writer-performer on the L.A. area "Lohman and Barkley Show". Together with his writing partner Barry Levinson, he formed a stand-up comedy act and wrote comedy (along with Rudy DeLuca) for shows like "The Tim Conway Show" (CBS, 1970) and "The John Byner Comedy Hour" (CBS, 1972). In 1973, Nelson left show business, moving with his wife and children to Mount Shasta in Northern California where he worked as a janitor, teacher, surveyor and carpenter before returning to Los Angeles four and a half years later. His experiences as a "drop-out" would lead him to produce a series of 52 documentaries syndicated under the title "America Still", which explored why artists choose a rural lifestyle. He resumed his career, making his feature debut in "...And Justice for All" (1979), scripted by his old friend Levinson, and has not slowed down since. Nelson first came to prominence as the father in the movie "Poltergeist" (1982), a role he would reprise in the inferior sequel "Poltergeist II: The Other Side" (1986). His high school football coach role in "All the Right Moves" (1983), starring Tom Cruise, served as a trial run for the part with which most people associate him, Hayden Fox, the hard-boiled but good-humored tough guy head coach of the Minnesota State Screaming Eagles, on the popular long-running sitcom "Coach" (ABC, 1989-97). Emmy-nominated three times for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on the sitcom, Nelson won the award for the 1991-92 season and served as its executive producer from 1992. Prior to "Coach", he had played a district attorney on the short-lived "Chicago Story" (NBC, 1984) and won critical praise as US Air Force Colonel Raynor Sarnac in "Call to Glory" (ABC, 1984-85). Nelson added director to his credits with the last episode of "Call to Glory" and also helmed numerous episodes of "Coach". He adapted a Harry Grant story to the screen for his starring turn in the ABC movie "Ride with the Wind" (1994), which he also executive produced. Though Nelson has worked extensively on TV, his collaboration with director Brian Gibson ("Poltergeist II") yielded three notable gems. He appeared in the critically-acclaimed HBO movie "Murderers Among Us: The Simon Wiesenthal Story" (1989), played a drug enforcement agent in the Emmy-winning miniseries "Drug Wars: The Camarena Story" (NBC, 1990) and portrayed gossip columnist Walter Winchell in "The Josephine Baker Story" (HBO, 1991). He also starred in the CBS sci-fi miniseries "The Fire Next Time" (1993) and acted the part of Kirk Douglas's son in "Take Mme Home Again" (NBC, 1994) among his many small screen performances. Equally prolific in features, Nelson played opposite Shelley Long in "Troop Beverly Hills" (1989), created the role of Chief Hyde in "Turner and Hooch", was a menacing drug dealer in "I'm Not Rappaport" (1996) and a district attorney in "Ghosts of Mississippi" (1996). Following his portrayal of a Donald Trump-like real estate developer in "The Devil's Advocate" (1997), he was reunited with Barry Levinson in the David Mamet-scripted "Wag the Dog" (1997), co-starring with Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman. In 2000 he starred in "The Skulls" and now is back on TV in "The District".moreless -
Alyssa Milano
Billie Cunningham
Alyssa Milano is the daughter of Italian-American parents Lin, a fashion designer, and Tom, a film music editor. Alyssa was born in a working class neighborhood in Brooklyn and grew up in a modest house on Staten Island.
One day, her babysitter, who was an aspiring dancer, dragged Alyssa along to a an open audition for the first national tour of Annie. But it was Alyssa, not the sitter, who beat out 1,500 other wanna be stage actresses to snag a role. So at the tender age of seven, with her mother in tow, Alyssa joined the tour as July, one of the orphans.
After 18 months on the road, Alyssa, who had begun to garner a reputation as an energetic and charismatic young actress, left Annie to be featured in off-Broadway productions and television commercials.
Then in 1983, at age 10, she landed her breakthrough role on the new sitcom Who's the Boss? as Tony Danza's saccharine sweet daughter, Samantha Micelli, a kid whose native Brooklyn accent rivaled her TV dad's. In order for Alyssa to accept the gig, the Milano family had to uproot and move 3,000 miles to Hollywood.moreless -
