Before she even entered middle school, Brandi already had an impressive list of acting credits to her name.
A Los Angeles native, Brandi got to start her acting career very young. She was born in the San Bernardino, CA area and lived her first few months of life there, but in late 1989 moved to and was raised in Santa Clarita, CA (30 minutes north of Los Angeles). After being featured on TV in a 1997 news segment about Christmas, Brandi discovered she loved being in front of the camera. When Brandi was 10, she started modeling, her first modeling gig being for Stein-Mart Stores. Her mother sent a snapshot of Brandi to Stein-Mart chain-stores' open casting call for child models. A week later, a Stein-Mart modeling scout called her mother saying they loved Brandi's look and for Brandi to be one of the main child models in their 1999 Back-to-School Fashion Show, to model Stein-Mart's kids clothes for the Fall 1999 season. One month later, Brandi appeared in an educational student film called "Grandma's Story". Brandi was also a published poet at age 9, as a poem she wrote about her Grandpa was published in the book "Celebrating Poetry written by Kids". Soon after that, Brandi's freckles and spunky, energetic personality caught the attention of a children's talent agent from the very well-known Daniel Hoff Talent Agency. They told her she looked like a little Julia Roberts. After signing with Daniel Hoff Talent Agency, 11-year-old Brandi got her first big break on TV when she did a popular TV commercial for Eggo Waffles. She was then invited to join SAG.
Then, at age 12, Brandi did her first real play in an actual, real, professional-running theater. It was a production of "Into the Woods"(July 2001), directed by former Broadway actor Philip Arthur Ross. She again worked with Philip in other Los Angeles-area theatre productions such as the musical Bugsy Malone (played Captain Smolsky, August 2002), A Midsummer Night's Dream: The Musical (as Puck, Brandi's favorite part she played on stage, July '03, written by Wade Bradford), and Rebel Without a Cause (2004), all before the age of 16.
In 2005 Brandi did a TV pilot for a Discovery Kids show, which never aired, and made her feature-length film debut at age 17 in the 2006 avant-garde movie "Greed" as wise-cracking, troubled teenager, Tabitha. It was on Netflix for 2 years.
In her 11th grade year in high school, Brandi performed a scene for the LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) examinations and scored "proficient" (just two points away from the highest score possible) at the age of just 16. She was in Theatre and Choir all 4 years at her Santa Clarita high school.
After appearing in a few more films from 2007-2009, Brandi played the quirky "Gillian" in the series "My Roommate Sam", and played the teenage prostitute in the movie Monday Morning, directed by Nat Christian. Brandi was cast on the Pro-Wrestling show Championship Wrestling from Hollywood as Ring-Girl Brandi from 2013-2014 alongside many pro-wrestlers such as Joey Ryan and even met Jake the Snake! Then, Brandi appeared in the film "Girlfriend Lies" as Wanda, opposite actor Tyler Ritter of the CBS show "The McCarthy's". Next, Brandi portrayed the part of Pearl Hart in the stage-reading of the play "Waiting Women" at the 2014 Women's Theatre Festival of Memphis. Brandi appeared on an episode of the popular TV court show "Supreme Justice with Judge Karen" as the hilarious role of Amelia Fosberg, another troubled, wise-cracking teenager (but this time, Brandi wasn't 17 in real life, she was 25!) You can see Brandi in the Lionsgate film "Smosh: The Movie" as one of the sexy girls in Anthony's dream. Brandi also does Voice-Overs. She is the voice of Selena Gomez, Madonna and Taylor Swift in the popular web-cartoon "Hyena House Brawl". She is also the voice of Sally Acorn and Nami in the popular web-cartoon "Cartoon Hookups". Brandi voiced the role of Princess Honey Combington in a pilot for Adult Swim "Candy Coated Cartoon Spectacular ". In Spring 2015, Brandi also originated the role of the Queen in the comedy play, "The Pre-Musketeers", a hilarious prequel to The Three Musketeers. Brandi was nominated for the Theatre's Goldie Awards as Best Supporting Actress in a Family show for her portrayal of the Queen. Brandi also put her body in quite the challenge when she was cast in the premiere of the spooky, eerie, immersive theatre play "Monsters Come Out at Night" at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre in April 2018. It was her most physically challenging play to date, as Brandi had to do a lot of dance movement and tough choreography. Brandi has 2 left feet so she didn't think she could do it. But somehow she did. And it was worth it as the play was nominated for "Best Choreography" in the L.A. Valley Theatre Awards. Brandi ran in the Miss. Santa Clarita Pageant when she was 18 and was crowned Miss Santa Clarita Spirit 2008.
Brandi has done some more controversial roles as well. She was cast as the Racist Comic in the indie movie "Zidane Adams: The Black Blogger" and as Helga, a young stripper desperately trying to escape her brothel, in the movie "Blood Tulips", which premiered in England to a standing ovation. She is writing, producing, and starring the successful digital series "Creeper" which has had over 600,000 streams as of Fall 2021.
Horror fans may recognize Brandi from the movie "Clickbait" where Brandi played the role of high-strung, nerdy book-nerd Emma, which earned Brandi winning "Best Supporting Actress in a Feature Film" at the San Diego Fantastic Film Festival in 2018, beating out 6 other film actresses who were also nominated, and "Best On-Screen Duo" shared with her co-star Colby Stewart at the Genre Blast Film Festival the same year.
Brandi also has her own Sketch Comedy show on YouTube called "Weird Brandi" with over 1 million views, and regularly makes TikTok comedy videos. She also hosted a theatre podcast called "Theatre Puke" for a year. Brandi earned her Bachelor's degree in Communications from Concordia University-Irvine, a small, private university in Irvine, CA in 2013. She is the oldest of 2 daughters and is convinced she was born in the wrong decade. Some of the many things she enjoys doing is going to metal concerts, and 60s-80s cover band concerts, drinking a nice cup of iced coffee every morning, shopping for retro clothes, going to 50's pinup/rockabilly events, going to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, admiring her celebrity crushes from afar whom all are dead or very elderly now, reading books about anything, watching old TV shows, and being obsessed with Europe and traveling to Europe. She comes heavily from a family of actors and performers, her cousin is actress Adelina Saldana, her uncle is comic book artist Carlos Saldana, and her aunt is actress/playwright Silvia Gonzalez S.Met up close

Compact Italian-American actor Joe Pesci was born February 9, 1943 in Newark, New Jersey, to Mary (Mesce), a part-time barber, and Angelo Pesci, a bartender and forklift driver. Pesci first broke into entertainment as a child actor, and by the mid-1950s, was starring on the series "Star Time Kids". In the mid-1960s, he released a record under the stage name Joe Ritchie titled "Little Joe Sure Can Sing", and was also playing guitar with several bands, including Joey Dee and The Starliters. He even joined with his friend Frank Vincent to start a vaudeville-style comedy act, but met with limited success (interestingly, Pesci and Vincent would later go on to co-star in several gangster films together, including Goodfellas (1990) and Casino (1995).
Pesci's first film role was as an uncredited dancer in Hey, Let's Twist! (1961) and then he had to wait another 15 years for a minor role in The Death Collector (1976). His work in the second film was seen by Robert De Niro, who convinced director Martin Scorsese to cast him as Joey LaMotta in the epic boxing film Raging Bull (1980), which really got him noticed in Hollywood. He played opposite Rodney Dangerfield in Easy Money (1983), was with buddy DeNiro again in Once Upon a Time in America (1984), nearly stole the show as con man Leo Getz in Lethal Weapon 2 (1989) and scored a Best Supporting Actor Oscar playing the psychotic Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas (1990).
His comedic talents shone again in the mega-popular Home Alone (1990), and he put in a terrific performance as co-conspirator David Ferrie in JFK (1991). Pesci was back again as Leo Getz for Lethal Weapon 3 (1992), and was still a bumbling crook in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), and had a minor role in the Robert De Niro-directed A Bronx Tale (1993). He was lured back by Scorsese to play another deranged gangster named Nicky (based on real-life hood Tony Spilotro [aka "The Ant"]) in the violent Casino (1995), and starred in the comedies 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (1997) and Gone Fishin' (1997), although both failed to fire at the box office.
Pesci returned again as fast-talking con man Leo Getz in Lethal Weapon 4 (1998). In 1999, he announced his retirement from acting and since then, he appeared only occasionally in films, including a cameo appearance in The Good Shepherd (2006). He also appeared in the music documentary I Go Back Home: Jimmy Scott (2016).Met up close

It's not surprising that Ryan Stiles would feel comfortable doing a comedic turn in the role of Lewis, one of Drew Carey's ever-present friends in the new comedy The Drew Carey Show (1995). After all, the first job Stiles ever had was that of a stand-up comedian. Although he was a good student, Stiles admits that "being a high-school senior gave me too much freedom." He got so carried away with his flexible schedule that he quit school a few months shy of graduation and got a job doing stand-up comedy in Vancouver. Despite his parents' objections, he was able to support himself for several years, but "I got out of stand-up when everybody else started doing it," he says. He didn't stray too far from the world of comedy. In 1986 he joined the highly acclaimed Second City comedy ensemble in Toronto, where he honed his improvisational skills. In 1990 Stiles moved to Los Angeles to perform with the Los Angeles Second City group. Film and television roles soon followed, including roles in Hot Shots! (1991) and Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993). Stiles's television credits include Parker Lewis Can't Lose (1990), Mad About You (1992), and cable's The Hitchhiker (1983). He's currently a series regular on the British improvisational series Whose Line Is It Anyway? (1988), which has been nominated for three CableACE awards.

Moving to LA he had to live out of his car and even after being robbed at gunpoint he wouldn't stop pursuing his dream. Dat answered phones for The Improv in Hollywood during the day and tried to get as much stage time as possible at night; this meant he often went on well after midnight when crowds were often more drunk than coherent.

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was born in Victoria, Texas, as Steven James Anderson, on December 18, 1964, the youngest of five children. His mother, Beverly Jane (Harrison), remarried to Kenneth Williams, and he took his stepfather's surname. He played football at the North Texas State University. He was worthy of achieving a free education because of his football skills in school. Williams then began training at Chris Adams's wrestling school as a rookie near the end of 1988, and made his professional wrestling debut at the end of 1989. He then moved over to minor wrestling companies to wrestle for money, and later entered WCW under the name of 'Stunning Steve Austin'. He didn't make a large name for himself in the company, as he only held an embarrassing two TV titles. Austin was fired by WCW and joined the WWF (now known as WWE) in December 1995. Austin left after a while to go to ECW but only stayed for a couple of weeks before he came back to the WWF as 'Stone Cold Steve Austin'. Austin then disposed of his old finishing move the 'Million Dollar Dream', which was the trademark of 'Million Dollar Man' Ted Dibiase, and began racking up the victories with his Stone Cold Stunner (kick to the gut followed by a jawbreaker).
Austin then had a good winning streak going by 1996 and wrestled to become the 1996 King Of The Ring. Austin cut his lip open during one match, and had to get it stitched up in between matches. In the grand final of the KOTR he defeated Jake 'The Snake' Roberts with a Stone Cold Stunner, and invented his famous motto as 'Austin 3:16'. As 1997 rolled around Austin's career soared to new heights. WCW realized Austin's popularity, and tried to make a 'clone' when they invited 'Bill Goldberg' to compete for them. During that year, Austin won the WWF Intercontinental Championship twice and the Tag Team Championships. When Austin successfully defended the IC title against Rocky Maivia (now known as The Rock, real name Dwayne Johnson) on a taping of RAW, he was ordered to defend it again because he drove his pickup truck to the ring and delivered a Stunner to D'Lo Brown ('A.C. Conner') on the roof, which Vince McMahon saw as weapon usage. Austin refused to defend the title again and dumped the old belt in a river, and therefore McMahon crowned Rocky Maivia as the new champion. However, Austin said he didn't care about that title, and set his sights on the Heavyweight Championship. Although Austin had won the 1997 Royal Rumble to qualify as the Number 1 Contender for the championship at WrestleMania XIII, he didn't get the place because he was eliminated but referees didn't notice, so instead, Austin fought Bret Hart in an Iron Man match which Hart won when Austin passed out from blood loss when he was trapped in a Sharpshooter. However, Austin successfully won the 1998 Royal Rumble when he eliminated Rocky Maivia. A stipulation was made for the main event at WrestleMania XIV (Austin vs. Shawn Michaels): the special guest referee would be Iron Mike Tyson! Austin had made a friendship with Tyson, but all though Tyson betrayed him when he joined DX! However, Tyson shocked the world when Austin hit Michaels with a Stone Cold Stunner and covered him while Tyson made the count, to win his first heavyweight title! Austin then went on to enjoy three months as champion when he lost the title to Kane (Glenn Jacobs)in a First Blood match on June 28, 1998, at King Of The Ring. However, Austin regained the title a day later, and was forced to compete for it in a tournament at the 1998 Survivor Series. He was defeated by Mankind ('Mick Foley'), and later that night, The Rock won the championship and joined the Corporation.
As 1999 came around, Austin became embroiled in a feud with The Rock when Vince McMahon eliminated him from the Royal Rumble while The Rock had him distracted. However, Austin still got the place in the main event at WrestleMania XV, and he won his third championship from The Rock with a Stone Cold Stunner. He retained the title against The Rock in a Boiler Room Brawl at Backlash 1999. Austin lost the title to The Undertaker ('Mark Callaway'), but regained it in July 1999. Later that year, at the 1999 Survivor Series Austin was ran over by a car and had to have spinal surgery, and was out of action for the next 11 months. However, Austin returned to the wrestling scene at Backlash 2000 when he helped The Rock win his fourth WWF Championship from Triple H ('Michael Paul LeVesque'). Austin was then welcomed back to wrestle in October 2000 at No Mercy, when he fought Rikishi ('Solofa Fatu') in a No Holds Barred match which had to be stopped when Austin was about to run Rikishi over but was arrested by the police. The mystery was revealed that it was Triple H who had Rikishi run Austin over, and Austin battled Triple H at Survivor Series 2000, and won the match. Steve had a chance to win the WWF title from Kurt Angle, who was reigning at the time, at Armaggedon 2000, in a Six-Man Hell In A Cell Match, which also had Kurt Angle, The Rock, Triple H, Rikishi, and The Undertaker. Austin had the title in his grasp when he hit The Rock with a Stone Cold Stunner, but Angle snuck up and covered The Rock to retain the title.
Austin's hopes raised yet again when he eliminated Kane from the 2001 Royal Rumble, therefore becoming the first and only ever three-time Royal Rumble winner, and the Number One Contender for the WWF Championship. At No Way Out 2001, Austin lost a 2-Out-Of-3 Falls match to Triple H, when they both knocked each other out, but Triple H fell on top of Austin. Later that night, The Rock defeated Kurt Angle to become the first-ever six-time WWF World Champion, therefore deciding that the main event at WrestleMania X7 would be The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin defeated The Rock on April 1, 2001, for his fifth WWF title, but turned heel when he joined forces with Vince McMahon. The Rock was suspended from the WWF for almost four months. Austin's reign as Champion lasted for 5 months and 22 days, which was the longest championship reign in several years. Austin won the Tag Team Championship with Triple H at Backlash 2001, but they lost them again on May 21, on a taping of RAW to Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. In that same match, Triple H tore his quadricep muscle and had to go to hospital for eight months of surgery. At King Of The Ring 2001 on June 24 Austin retained the title successfully from both Jericho and Benoit in a Triple Threat match.
Austin shocked the world by turning heel again on July 22, 2001 when he joined the WCW/ECW Alliance, helping them win the Inaugural Brawl against the WWF, and also invented the catchphrase of 2001, which was "What?". However, Vince McMahon reinstated The Rock on July 30. In August, Kurt Angle started feuding with Austin and was determined to take the championship back from him at Summerslam. Austin disqualified himself to remain the champion, however, Angle won the title back from him at Unforgiven on September 23, 2001. Austin then regained the title from Angle on RAW in October, when William Regal came to his aid. In November, Austin narrowly escaped losing the title to The Rock at Rebellion, with a little help from Kurt Angle. Later that month, The Rock put the WCW/ECW Alliance out of business in the Winner Take All match, which was also Austin's first loss to The Rock. However, Austin returned to the federation, still as the heavyweight champion the night after, but lost it to Chris Jericho on December 9, 2001, when Jericho became the first-ever Undisputed Champion when Austin was defeated in the grand finals. Austin then challenged Jericho for the Undisputed title at No Way Out 2002 in February, and would have won the match, but the nWo interfered and attacked Austin, helping Jericho retain the title. Austin then feuded with the nWo's Scott Hall and faced him in a match at WrestleMania X8, which Austin won, even putting away the difficulty that was made by the constant interfering of Kevin Nash. At Backlash 2002 Austin faced the Undertaker in a Number 1 Contender match for the Undisputed Championship, but Austin was screwed out of the decision when The Undertaker booted a steel chair into his face and covered him for the pinfall. Austin had his foot on the rope, but special referee Ric Flair didn't notice. Austin began feuding with Flair and faced him in a 2-On-1 Handicap match at Judgment Day 2002 - Flair's partner was Big Show Paul Wight. That would be Austin's last PPV match, as early in June, he did not show up for a taping of RAW. Austin has not been seen since. He is 6'2", and when he first entered the federation he weighed 241 pounds, but boosted up to 252 later on in his career. He says that his weight "depends on how much beer I drink".Met sort of up close
