Kelly Ann McGillis was born in Newport Beach, California, to Virginia Joan (Snell), a homemaker, and Donald Manson McGillis, a general practitioner of medicine. She has English, Welsh, Scots-Irish, and German ancestry. McGillis dropped out of high school to pursue a career as an actress, and attended Juilliard in Manhattan and Pacific Conservatory of Performing Art in Santa Monica, CA.
She held a variety of jobs while pursuing her career, such as waitressing, and snagged a few stage roles before landing a supporting part in the Academy Award-nominated Reuben, Reuben (1983). This led to a lot of TV work and a lead role opposite Harrison Ford in the highly acclaimed thriller Witness (1985). This box office hit, directed by Peter Weir, got her noticed around Hollywood and producers took note of her. One of them was Jerry Bruckheimer, who cast her as Charlie Blackwood in the mega-hit Top Gun (1986) which became the highest-grossing film of the year and gave her some major name recognition.
Ironically, that breakthrough role didn't help her career in terms of high-profile work. She played prosecutor Kathryn Murphy in The Accused (1988) with Jodie Foster who won an Academy Award for her role, but unfortunately for McGillis she was overlooked for any major nomination. Never interested in being box-office gold, she remained loyal to the theater, even after being established as a major star during the mid to late 1980s, taking such various stage roles in such William Shakespeare plays as "The Merchant of Venice", "Don Juan", "Twelfth Night", "The Merry Wives of Windsor", "Mourning Becomes Electra" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream". In 1994 she scored the title role in the Broadway production of "Hedda Gabler" but unfortunately it only played for 33 performances before closing.
She had two daughters in the early 1990s, and worked more sporadically on TV and film so she could spend time with her family and owned her business, a restaurant in Florida. She worked on Winter People (1989), Cat Chaser (1989), The Babe (1992), North (1994), At First Sight (1999) and The Monkey's Mask (2000) as well as a string of made-for-TV films.
She has completed a national stage tour of "The Graduate", playing the infamous Mrs. Robinson, and continues to act as she begins study on Addiction Studies and raising her children in Pennsylvania.- Film, TV and stage actor David Denman grew up all over Southern California.

After graduating, Denman was immediately cast on the hit show ER (1994), which led to numerous TV shows and movies of the week. He made his feature film debut in the Warner Bros comedy The Replacements (2000) with Gene Hackman and Keanu Reeves. While he had supporting roles in some other major productions, his breakthrough role came as "Roy" in The Office (2005). The series received numerous awards, including the Emmy and S.A.G. award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Don Michael Paul's work has taken him far and wide. From the Brandenburg Gate of Berlin to the basilicas of Budapest. From the Black Sea of Bulgaria to the high-veld of South Africa. From the shores of Vancouver BC to the Blue Mosque of Istanbul. From the Greek Isle of Santorini to the dense jungles of Krabi, Thailand. Don loves the world stage and feels at home wherever his filmmaking adventures take him.
Most known for tackling large-scale films on small-scale budgets, DMP (as his buddies call him) has cut his teeth on five different continents and he's still angling to make his way to Oceania and the Antarctic before the sun sets on his career. He loves working with edgy, character-based action, which inspired him to write (in long-hand) his freshman script, "Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man," on a legal pad. It sold. Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson signed on, and it got filmed. And DMP left his legal pad behind when Alan Ladd, Jr. contracted him to a four-picture deal with MGM. This yielded more rough-and-tumble fare, including the John Dillinger biopic "Public Enemies" and the adaptation of the award-winning depression era novel by Davis Grubb, "Night Of The Hunter."
Persevering and writing every day, combined with a love for the craft of filmmaking, put DMP onto Joel Silver's radar, who hired him to adapt bestselling author John Gilstrap's "Nathan's Run" for Lorenzo di Bonaventura at Warner Bros. He's since written for Stephen J. Cannell, Clint Culpepper, Bob Greenblatt, David Janollari, Barry Josephson, Jordan Kerner, Aaron Spelling and many more. DMP is proud to have penned TV pilots for ABC, CBS, FOX and UPN. He's directed seventeen movies to date and most recently finished up working on "Death Race: Beyond Anarchy," which won the Best Stunts award at the 2018 International Motor Film Awards. His 2019 film "Jarhead: Law of Return" was screened at the Haifa International Film Festival and his monster party "Tremors: Shrieker Island" streamed its way into the #3 spot on the Netflix Top 10 list in October of 2020 and was an Amazon #1 DVD New Release in Horror and Action Genre. DMP is busy writing the next "Death Race" installment for NBCUniversal and is excited about bringing it to life in the summer of 2021.
DMP carries a U.S. Passport and retains a current EU Permanent Residency giving him a unique co-pro and content-qualifying status worldwide. He is always in search of capturing that "one big idea" and has an eye out for original screenplays with a distinct, singular vision.- Actor

For Brendan Brown, real estate uniquely combines his passions of architecture, art, and design. At the age of 12, Brendan was carefully selecting stone, flooring, and design elements of his family's property's. At 18, he began his real estate career, and found himself not just selling the properties - but overseeing their renovation and design, too.

Charlene Geisler is a German-American actress, who was born in Newport Beach to Annette Geisler, a travel agent, and Dean Geisler, an aircraft mechanic. Due to her mother's German heritage, she is a dual citizen of the US and the European Union, and speaks German fluently. She began acting at the age of 6. Her father worked part-time as background on the HBO show Deadwood, and after seeing him on TV at home, decided she wanted to be a part of that world. Charlene started out in background, but after seeing some kids got to talk and she didn't, she told her mother she wanted to have proper speaking roles. She decided she wanted to take the plunge and act professionally.
Shortly after, her first speaking role was in a short film drama called 'Let's Talk About Child Abuse', in which a 7 year old girl is testifying in court against her abusive step-father. After that, she signed with her first manager, who helped her find representation at BBA at 8 years old. She has been with BBA since then, and is now in the adult department.
Her mother was one of her biggest supporters, constantly driving Charlene to auditions and helping her learn lines. Growing up, she had an acute interest in space and the study of the universe, a curiosity nurtured by her father; her grandparents even gave her a high-powered telescope for Christmas. To this day, Charlene maintains that if she was not an actor, she would be an astrophysicist.
She is now an actress and producer who is known for her varied credentials in TV and film. She has worked on the STARZ! series 'Counterpart', CBS series 'NCIS', and had a role in Warner Brothers' film 'The Hangover'.

Victory Tischler-Blue is an American film producer, director, writer and photographer, best known for her powerful and disturbing 2005 debut feature film "Edgeplay: A film about the Runaways". The film was based on Tischler-Blue's tenure in the seminal 1970s all-girl teenage rock band the Runaways, which also launched the careers of future rock superstars Lita Ford and Joan Jett.
Born and raised in Newport Beach, California, Tischler-Blue began working in the entertainment industry at age 17, when she joined the Runaways. Even though the band was only in existence for 3 1/2 years, the impact of the Runaways forever changed the face of rock n' roll and is still felt in the music industry today.
After the demise of the band, Victory Tischler-Blue was cast by director Rob Reiner in the comedy classic "This Is Spinal Tap," and was so inspired by the entire filmmaking process that she soon shifted her focus from music to motion pictures. Working alongside Academy Award winner Rob Blalack (Star Wars), Victory honed her skills in the innovative world of high-end visual effects before settling into a producer role.
In 2003 Tischler-Blue formed Sacred Dogs Entertainment Group, LLC, a motion picture production company. "Edgeplay: A film about the Runaways," her critically acclaimed documentary debut was picked up by Showtime Networks, where it ran for two years, with over 200 screenings, and which later enjoyed similar DVD success.
2010 sees the release of another feature film about the band: "The Runaways," stars Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning and Scout Taylor-Compton, and is directed by Floria Sigismondi, who cites Tischler-Blue's "Edgeplay" as an inspiration for elements of her film.
Tischler-Blue was hand picked by Bee Gee Robin Gibb to executive produce the network special: The Bee Gees "Unbroken Fever" - The 30th Anniversary of Saturday Night Fever, and has just wrapped production on "Naked Under Leather," a film about 1970s leather-clad glam rocker Suzi Quatro, which is slated for a 2010 release.
Tischler-Blue is currently executive producing two new television series: "El Guitarrista" on which she is working with producer/songwriter Dick Wagner and the eerie, edgy episodic drama "Rarebirds."
Tischler-Blue is also developing a film and book project celebrating the life and work of 1960s male physique photographer Mel Roberts.
A talented photographer, Tischler-Blue has been manipulating light and creating dramatic single-frame tableaux for the past two decades. Best known for her intimate celebrity portraits, stark, surreal desert landscapes and images of pure Spanish horses, she will be publishing a photography book titled "Pura Raza Testosterone" depicting the raw, primal beauty of Andalusian Stallions in 2010.
Q3/2010 will also see the launch of "Desert Seven", Tischler-Blue's new internet television network consisting of a diverse line-up of streamed content with a focus on episodic web dramas produced and directed by many of the industry's leading and most innovative filmmakers.- Actor
