Jason Cermak is the younger of two children, and as a youth growing up in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Canada he pursued every sport and academic extracurricular activity the small rural town had to offer. While attending the University of Calgary attaining his Bachelor of Commerce, Jason focused his athletic endeavors and started a 12 year career in track and field competing in decathlon.
Jason's acting career started in 2000 after meeting Matt Damon on location of "The Bourne Identity" in Prague where Jason was living at the time. His experience on that set encouraged him to get an agent and start training as a professional film and television actor. Jason's approach to pursuing his acting career was to use his commerce degree to "pay the bills" and then gradually switch the focus to acting full time. Upon convocation from the University of Calgary in 2000, Jason worked as a University instructor as well as an IT consultant for Deloitte while pursuing film and TV on the side. In 2006 while living in Melbourne, Australia Jason took the leap of faith and did a self-tape audition for the Canadian First World War film Passchendaele, resigned from his job and returned to Canada. Upon returning he discovered that he had indeed booked a role in the film and shifted his focus to acting full time while continuing to own and operate an IT consulting company on the side.- Actor

Largely forgotten today, comic actor Moore Marriott reigned supreme for a time in the 1930s alongside Will Hay and Graham Moffatt in British film farce. The trio came about by happenstance, but it was their audiences who insisted they reappear together again and again.
Born in 1885, Marriott started off on the stage as a youngster with his theatrical family. The dark, curly-haired natural made his debut on film as an infant and reportedly made a number of silent films for the Hepworth Company, but credits are sketchy. By the 1920s he had churned out a number of pictures including By the Shortest of Heads (1915), The Monkey's Paw (1923) and The Gold Cure (1925), sometimes in a lead. By the advent of sound, however, he found his niche playing countrified character folk. He played much, much older than he really was (by at least 20-30 years), and audiences took to his doddering old fool act, and he essayed a host of assorted toothless, muttering coots. Marriott was unbilled in his first Hay comedy, Dandy Dick (1935), but received billing in his next film with Hay, Windbag the Sailor (1936), in which they were joined by the impish, heavyset foil Moffatt. With Marriott playing his famous bald geezer Jeremiah Harbottle, the popular trio continued to put out such wacky, nonsensical films as Oh, Mr. Porter! (1937), often deemed the best of the lot, and Convict 99 (1938). Eventually Hay severed the union, preferring to be thought of as a solo star. Marriott supported other comedians in the ensuing years, including Arthur Askey, but he never matched his earlier success. He died at age 64 without ever harvesting a strong core audience as a solo artist.- Kieron Forsyth was born in West Drayton, London, England, UK.
