Actress and philanthropist Rooney Mara was born on April 17, 1985 in Bedford, New York. She made her screen debut in the slasher film Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005), went on to have a supporting role in the independent coming-of-age drama Tanner Hall (2009), and has since starred in the horror remake A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), the biographical drama The Social Network (2010), the thriller remake The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), and the romantic drama Carol (2015).
Patricia Rooney Mara is one of four children of Kathleen McNulty (née Rooney) and NFL football team New York Giants executive Timothy Christopher Mara. Her grandfathers were Wellington Mara, co-owner of the Giants, and Timothy Rooney, owner of Yonkers Raceway, and her grand-uncle is Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney, the former Ambassador to Ireland. She is the great-granddaughter of Art Rooney, the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers football franchise. Her father has Irish, German, and French-Canadian ancestry, and her mother is of Irish and Italian descent.
After graduating from Bedford's Fox Lane High School, she went to Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia in South America for four months as part of the Traveling School, an open learning environment. She attended George Washington University for a year and then transferred to New York University, where she studied international social policy psychology and nonprofits. She took her degree from New York University in 2010. Her studies focused on non-profit organizations, as her family has a tradition of involvement in philanthropic causes.
She had thought of acting after watching old movies and attending musical theater, but did not think of it as a serious vocation and was afraid she might fail at this. As a result of her reservations, she appeared in only one play while in high school.
She began seriously focusing on acting when she was at New York University, appearing in student films. Inspired by her older sister, actress Kate Mara, she began to pursue the craft, auditioning for acting jobs at age 19. She appeared with her sister Kate in the video horror movie Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005), billing herself as "Patricia Mara". As "Tricia Mara", she had guest roles on television and won her first lead in the movie Tanner Hall (2009), which was shot in the fall of 2007.
She originally auditioned for the supporting role of Lucasta in "Tanner Hall", a $3-million independent film, but director Tatiana von Fürstenberg was so impressed by the young actress, she had her return to audition for the lead role of Fernanda, which Mara won. Furstenberg was delighted with her nuanced performance, saying, "Still waters run deep".
Continuing to call herself Tricia Mara, this was during the making of "Tanner Hall" that she considered changing her professional name to Rooney Mara, soliciting the advice of the cast and crew. After premiering at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival, her performance in "Tanner Hall" brought the rechristened Rooney Mara a "Rising Star" award at the 2009 Hamptons Film Festival and a "Stargazer Award" at the 2010 Gen Art Film Festival.
She received her first lead role in a major feature, in the $35 million remake A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010). The movie proved disappointing at the box office, grossing only $63 million domestically and racking up a worldwide gross of just under $116 million. However, she was noticed by critics in the small but pivotal role of the Boston University undergrad Erica Albright who dumps Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network (2010). Director David Fincher subsequently cast her as the lead, Lisbeth Salander, in his thriller remake, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), based on Stieg Larsson's Millennium book series. She received critical acclaim for her performance, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama.
She starred in the thriller film Side Effects (2013), the independent drama Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013), and the acclaimed sci-fi romantic drama Her (2013). The following year, she starred in the adventure drama Trash (2014). She garnered further critical acclaim for her performance in Todd Haynes' romantic drama Carol (2015), for which she won the Best Actress Award at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama and the SAG, BAFTA, and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
In the spirit of her family's philanthropic endeavors, Rooney created Faces of Kibera, a charity that provides food, medical care and housing to orphans in Nairobi, Kenya's Kibra district, a small slum that houses a million people. There are many orphans as AIDS is rampant in the slum.Sonya Arris - The Assistant- Frank trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (R.A.D.A.), graduating in 2013.

Richard Treat Williams was born in Stamford, Connecticut, to Marian (Andrew), who dealt in antiques, and Richard Norman Williams, a corporate executive. At the age of three, his family moved to Rowayton, Connecticut. Educated at prep-school, he first made a serious commitment to his craft during his days at Pennsylvania's Franklin and Marshall College. Working summers with the nearby Fulton Repertory Theatre at Lancaster in the heart of Amish country, Williams performed the classics as well as contemporary dramas and musicals. After graduating, Williams--whose first name, incidentally, is a family surname on his mother's side--headed for Manhattan where he understudied the Danny Zuko role in "Grease." After working in the The Andrews Sisters musical "Over Here," he made his film debut as a cop in Deadly Hero (1975), then returned to "Grease," this time in the starring role. While he took leaves for two small film roles, in The Ritz (1976) and The Eagle Has Landed (1976), it was his stage work in "Grease" that led to his cinematic breakthrough in Hair (1979). Spotted by director Milos Forman, Williams was asked to read for the role of Berger, the hippie. It took 13 auditions to land the part, but the film's release catapulted Williams into stardom. He then portrayed a GI on the make in Steven Spielberg's 1941 (1979) and starred in the romantic comedy Why Would I Lie? (1980) before tackling the role of Danny Ciello, the disillusioned New York City cop who blew the whistle on his corrupt colleagues in Sidney Lumet's Prince of the City (1981). He followed that with The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper (1981), in which he played the legendary plane hijacker who successfully eluded capture (by Robert Duvall); Flashpoint (1984), in which he and Kris Kristofferson starred as a pair of maverick border patrolmen who come upon a large cache of stolen money; Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America (1984), in which he played a Jimmy Hoffa-like labor organizer; and Smooth Talk (1985), a screen adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' short story, "Where Are You Going?" Television viewers have seen Williams in a prestigious pair of dramas, Dempsey (1983), a three-hour story of the hard-living heavyweight champ, and John Erman's adaptation of Tennessee Williams' classic "A Streetcar Named Desire," which pitted Williams' Stanley Kowalski against Ann-Margret's Blanche Dubois. Williams has also returned to Broadway sporadically -- first to appear in "Once in a Lifetime" while filming "Hair," and in 1981 to play the role of the pirate king in "The Pirates of Penzance."Gill Norman - The Lawyer- Actor

He is the youngest of three children born to F. Dewayne Grissom and Lynn Turner Grissom and lived the first ten years of his life in the D.C. suburbs of Bethesda and Darnestown, MD. It was while he was attending Darnestown Elementary that his choir teacher convinced him to audition for a local dinner theater production of "Bye Bye Birdie" when he was eight years old. He was cast and that experience changed his life. He was hooked. In 1975 his family moved onto a boat (in which he lived until he was 18) in St. Petersburg, FL and he continued doing plays and musicals locally at the St. Petersburg City Theatre (where a young Angela Bassett also performed) and at the (now gone) Showboat Dinner Theatre, where he met such actors as Robert Cummings and Nanette Fabray. He attended three different high schools, graduating from the Visual and Performing Arts Program at Booker High School in Sarasota, FL. Fellow students at the time were Oscar winner Bill Corso and comedian Lynne Koplitz. After graduating he left Florida to attend the Goodman School of Drama (now The Theatre School at DePaul University) in Chicago, IL where he received a BFA in Acting. Fellow students at the time included Kevin J. O'Connor, Oscar nominee John C. Reilly, and Emmy winner Gillian Anderson. As a freshman he volunteered to usher for the final preview of the original production of the play "Glengarry Glen Ross" which was in the intimate space at Chicago's Goodman Theatre. What he witnessed that night changed him on a deep level. After graduation he spent the next ten years immersed in the thriving Chicago theatre scene, working everywhere from tiny storefront black box theaters to the large stage at the Goodman Theatre and everywhere in between. At the Goodman Theatre he was in the cast of Shakespeare's "Richard II" which also included a young Nick Offerman, Chris Bauer, Chicago legend Mike Nussbaum, and future Broadway star Raúl Esparza.

He started doing theater and going to film and TV auditions, landing a commercial after his first year and small parts in television after his second year. By his third year he finally started working on a consistent basis and hasn't stopped since. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Lisa Kenner Grissom.Criminal

John Griffin was born and raised on Long Island, the son of two educators. He graduated from Stanford University, studied at Oxford University, then decided to forgo Columbia Law School, opting for a career in Hollywood instead. After many commercials and several guest star appearances, he was nominated for Los Angeles' version of the Tony (the Ovation Award) in the category of Best Lead Actor for his performance as "Jason" in the world premiere of the pop-opera "Bare," a show that went on to gain cult status. For that performance, he was also nominated for the Robby Award. He later reprized his role of "Jason" in a workshop of "Bare" off-Broadway at the New York Theatre Workshop. Also off-Broadway, John starred opposite Richard Dreyfuss and Eli Wallach in a workshop of "The Secret Order" at the John Houseman Theatre. A formerly ranked tennis player and an accomplished singer, he is also a writer and producer. A Slamdance Semi-Finalist, John signed his first production deal with SVP at Fremantle Media to develop a documentary sitcom he created with two partners.
