Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Robert Picardo graduated from the William Penn Charter School. He entered Yale University as a pre-med student, not knowing that he would someday portray doctors in three separate productions: first as Dr. Dick Richard on the ABC series China Beach, then as Dr. McCaskill in the theater production In The Waiting Room at the Mark Taper Forum, and then as The Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager.
After graduating from Yale University Robert wanted to be an actor, but his parents weren't supportive. This changed when he sang in Leonard Bernstein's Mass, and Bernstein himself saw Picardo and told him he should pursue being an actor. The young Picardo asked Bernstein to tell that to his parents, which the great composer did, thereby changing their minds. In 1997 he made his Broadway debut in the comedy Gemini with Danny Aiello.
In the early 1980's he became involved in television, where he soon was nominated for an Emmy award for his role as Mr. Cutlip on the acclaimed series The Wonder Years. Following The Wonder Years he has had much success on television, he starred as Dr. Richard on China Beach and then played The Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager for six seasons. He finished up starring in Stargate Atlantis in 2009 as Richard Woolsey.
Currently he is starring in various online films for Acme Brand Comedy.
Bob resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Linda, and their two daughters.
Jewel was born in White Rock, British Columbia, but her family moved almost immediately to Maui where she lived until she was four. Jewel made her first public appearance while in Maui at the "Maui County Most Beautiful Baby Contest" and has loved the limelight ever since.
In 1986, Jewel's family moved to her current home town of Vancouver. There she was approached by a Sears representative to appear in a video for the department store. At first she refused because she felt she was being talked down to, but after seeing the clothes that young models got to wear she changed her mind. Her parents supported both decisions, and her modeling career was soon underway. Modeling jobs led to commercials which led in turn to larger acting roles.
She got her start appearing in a student short film for the Vancouver Film School, called Meeting Dad. This lead to some small movie parts and then to a larger role in the series Flash Forward for which she won a Gemini Award in 1996. She was featured in a number of other series, but is probably best known for playing the role of Kaylee on the short lived Joss Whedon series Firefly and the movie sequel called Serenity.
Her Firefly co-star Morena Baccarin was the maid of honor at her wedding to Matt Anderson on April 25, 2003.
