Tales from the Crypt

Doug is youngest of four brothers and grew up in the Northeast side of Indianapolis, Indiana. He attended Bishop Chatard High School, and afterwards headed off to Ball State University. He graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications and a minor in Theatre.

Since moving to Los Angeles in 1985, Doug has acted in over 25 films, many television series and over 90 commercials and music videos.

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.

Brooke is the daughter of minor actress Teri Shields and the grand-daughter of Frank Shields, a good-looking and flamboyant amateur tennis champion who had some movie parts in the mid-1930s. She is also a second cousin of Glenn Close. Through her grandmother, Marina Torlonia, Brooke is descended from the notorious Lucrecia Borgia, King Henri IV of France, and many other historical figures.

Her screen career began with a TV commercial for Ivory soap, and her first movie was Alice, Sweet Alice (1977) but she first became famous as a Calvin Klein model and for her role as Violet in Pretty Baby (1978).

Brooke is a Princeton graduate in French Literature. She added 'Camille' to her names when she was ten, and is a vegetarian. She was named as Time magazine's 'Face of the Eighties'.

Former boyfriends include Dean Cain (when they were both at Princeton), Michael Bolton, John F. Kennedy Jr, Liam Neeson and Michael Jackson. She was married to the tennis player Andre Agassi from 1997 to April 1999, and was a close friend of the actor David Strickland (Todd in Suddenly Susan), who hanged himself in 1999. The marriage to Agassi was later annulled, enabling Brooke to marry screenwriter Chris Henchy in the Catholic church on 4 April 2001. They now have one daughter, Rowan Francis, born in May 2003.

Though perhaps not as widely known, Steven has certainly made his way through the trifecta of performing. He has acted in the Mirror Repertory Company, working with stars like Geraldine Page, and later earned his soap opera wings with a one year stint, opposite Julianne Moore, in As the World Turns. On a personal level, he met his first wife on this very set. He garnered more attention with roles in The Flamingo Kid and The Kennedys of Massachusetts, playing the difficult role of John F. Kennedy. Perhaps the role that gained him a true fan base, though, was that of Brian Hackett on Wings. He parlayed this popularity into roles like Jack Torrance in the television remake of Stephen King's The Shining and, once a King favorite, also You Know They Got a Hell of a Band (from the Nightmares and Dreamscapes mini-series) and Desperation. He has also, notably, been a guest star in Monk, with former costar Tony Shalhoub (2006). He has also starred in various short-lived television series, such as Cursed, Once and Again, and The D.A. Though the series proved short-lived, Weber also shined as Jack Rudolph on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and now makes his fans drool as Graham on Brothers and Sisters.

Steven has also taken a turn on Broadway. He has played in Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing and played Leo Bloom in The Producers (2001-2002), a role he doubted he would get but was encouraged by his wife and agent to try out for. Alan Alda earned an Emmy nod for his role as Weber's father in 2003's Clubland, a movie written and produced by Weber. In London, Weber also costarred with Kevin Spacey, in 2005, in National Anthems.

Weber's career continues to evolve and his resume continues to grow as this 1990s sitcom star refuses to stay down. On a personal note, after divorcing his first wife, he did in fact remarry and now is part of a family of four, including his two sons with his second wife.moreless
