Jeff Bridges (Actor) .. Matthew Scudder
Born: December 04, 1949 in Los Angeles, California
Best Known For: Being part of an acting dynasty.
Early-life: The son of actor Lloyd Bridges and his wife Dorothy, Jeffrey Leon Bridges was born on December 4, 1949, in Los Angeles, California. He has a younger sister, Lucinda, and an older brother, Beau, who also acts. Both boys appeared with their mother in the 1950 film The Company She Keeps (Jeff was just four months old at the time), and occasionally featured with their dad on his popular TV shows in the 1950s and 1960s. Jeff eventually studied acting in New York, and also spent eight years serving with the United States Coast Guard Reserve.
Career: Bridges' first major role came in the 1971 movie The Last Picture Show, for which he garnered a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. More Oscar nominations followed for Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Starman, The Contender and True Grit; he's won once for Crazy Heart. One of his better-known roles was in the 1982 sci-fi cult classic Tron, in which he played Kevin Flynn, a video game programmer - a role he returned to in the 2010 sequel. Other major projects include the Coen Brothers' classic The Big Lebowski, as well as The Fisher King, Fearless, Jagged Edge, Iron Man and Seabiscuit. An accomplished musician, Bridges has also released three albums.
Quote: 'I don't think I ever went down that movie-star path. I always enjoy taking a 90-degree turn from the last thing I did.'
Trivia: Away from showbusiness, he has studied Buddhism and meditates for 30 minutes before he begins his working day.
Rosanna Arquette (Actor) .. Sarah
Born: August 10, 1959 in New York
Best Known For: Desperately Seeking Susan.
Early-life: Born Rosanna Lauren Arquette in New York on August 10, 1959. Her father was actor Lewis Arquette, while her grandfather, Cliff Arquette (who was sometimes known as Charley Weaver) also trod the boards. With such a background, it didn't come as a surprise that Rosanne and her siblings - Richmond, David, Alexis and Patricia - all became thespians. She began acting at an early age and made her TV debut in Having Babies II in 1977.
Career: Rosanna has worked steadily in big-budget and independent movies, as well as on TV. She first gained attention in The Dark Secret of Harvest Home, co-starring Bette Davis, in 1978. SOB was her first major film in 1981, and four years later she enjoyed international success in Desperately Seeking Susan, alongside Madonna. She followed it up with major films Silverado, After Hours, 8 Million Ways to Die and New York Stories. She then had a string of lesser-known projects before coming back with Pulp Fiction in 1994, and appeared in The Whole Nine Yards in 2000. She has continued to work steadily since then, including appearances in Malcolm in the Middle, Dirt, Medium, Lipstick Jungle, Eastwick, Private Practice, Girls and Ray Donovan.
Quote: 'I'm a wreck. I get hurt very easily. I don't have a tough shell. I'm so insecure - it's pretty stupid for me to be in this business, isn't it?'
Trivia: Rosanna won a Bafta film award for her role in Desperately Seeking Susan.
Andy Garcia (Actor) .. Angel Maldonado
Born: April 12, 1956 in Havana, Cuba
Best Known For: The Godfather: Part III.
Early-life: Born Andrés Arturo Garcia Menéndez in Havana, Cuba, on April 12, 1956, his family was relatively affluent. When he was five years old, Fidel Castro came to power, and the family fled to Miami Beach. Forced to work menial jobs for a while, the family started a fragrance company that was eventually worth more than a million dollars. Although a talented sportsman, as a teenager Andy turned his attention to acting. He first began acting at Florida International University, but soon he was headed out to Hollywood. His first break came as a gang member on the very first episode of the popular TV series Hill Street Blues.
Career: Garcia's breakthrough role came in The Untouchables (1987) and notable roles followed in Black Rain (1989), Internal Affairs (1990) and The Godfather: Part III (1990). By now, many believed he was of Italian descent. As a leading man, he has starred in such films as Jennifer 8 (1992) and Accidental Hero (1992). He won rave reviews for his role as Meg Ryan's husband in When a Man Loves a Woman (1994) and gave another charismatic gangster turn in Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995). More recent hits include the Ocean's movies.
Quote: 'They say a lot of women would like to see me naked, but there's not a lens long enough for that.'
Trivia: Garcoa voiced the character Eduardo in the animated movie Rio 2 (2014).
