Wesley Snipes (Actor) .. John Cutter
Born: July 31, 1962 in Florida
Best Known For: Killing demons in the Blade trilogy and spending time in jail for failing to file tax returns.
Early-life: Wesley Trent Snipes was born in Orlando, Florida, on July 31, 1962, but grew up in the South Bronx in New York, where early on he decided he wanted to be an actor. He attended the High School for the Performing Arts (popularised in 1980s classic film and TV series Fame), but then his mother moved to Florida. After graduating from high school he appeared in local dinner theatres and regional productions. An agent saw him in a competition and got him his first movie role alongside Goldie Hawn in Wildcats (1986).
Career: Athletic roles in Wildcats gave way to tough guy parts in New Jack City (1991), and to the action hero in Passenger 57 (1992). He went on to star alongside some of Hollywood's most famous leading men, all of whom hand-picked him for the roles. He further came to audiences' attentions in White Men Can't Jump (1992), Demolition Man (1993), Rising Sun (1993) and One Night Stand (1997), before landing the lead role in Blade (1998). Two more Blade films were made. He made a number of straight-to-DVD movies before returning to form in Brooklyn's Finest (2010). In 2008, Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison for failing to file federal income tax returns. After his conviction was upheld after an appeal, Snipes reported to federal prison in December 2010. He was released in April 2013. He returned to the big screen in 2014 in The Expendables 3.
Quote: "I never really planned on making action films. It just kind of happened. I've focused primarily on acting and developing characters, but that has blossomed into a whole new venue."
Trivia: Snipes' New York apartment was destroyed by the collapse of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in the September 11 attacks. He was not in New York at the time.
Bruce Payne (Actor) .. Charles Rane
Tom Sizemore (Actor) .. Sly Delvecchio
Born: November 29, 1961 in Detroit, Michigan
Best Known For: Playing assorted Hollywood cops and soldiers.
Early-life: Thomas Edward Sizemore Jr was born on November 29, 1961, in Detroit, Michigan. He caught the acting bug after studying the work of Montgomery Clift, James Dean and Marlon Brando. After attending Wayne State University, he got his master's degree in theatre from Temple University in 1986. Tom moved to New York City and earned a living waiting tables at the World Trade Centre, while honing his craft performing in plays. Eventually he came to the attention of director Oliver Stone who cast him in his 1989 Vietnam drama, Born on the Fourth of July.
Career: A string of other projects followed, including TV series China Beach, and the movies Blue Steel, Flight of the Intruder, Guilty By Suspicion, Point Break and Passenger 57. By the early 1990s, Sizemore was inundated with film roles, including True Romance, Striking Distance, Wyatt Earp and Natural Born Killers. He was typecast as either macho cops in Strange Days and The Relic or gruff soldiers in Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down. In recent years he's rarely been out of work, featuring in TV shows such as Robbery, Homicide Division, Dr Vegas, CSI: Miami, Southland, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Hawaii Five-O. He always has a number of projects in the pipeline.
Quote: "Temptation is impossible for me to resist. Come on, this is Hollywood. It's in the job description."
Elizabeth Hurley (Actor) .. Sabrina Ritchie
Born: June 10, 1965 in Basingstoke
Best Known For: Her love life.
Early-life: Born Elizabeth Jane Hurley on June 10, 1965, in Basingstoke, Hampshire. She has an older sister, Angela, and younger brother, Michael. Her father was a British Army officer, her mother a teacher. She wanted to be a dancer from an early age, and went to a ballet boarding school at 12, but later quit. Instead, she became a punk, dyed her hair pink and pierced her nose before winning a scholarship to study dance and drama at the London Studio Centre.
Career: Hurley started her acting career in theatre, before making her movie debut in 1987's Aria. She met Hugh Grant on the set of the film Rowing with the Wind. She appeared on TV for the first time a year later in an episode of Inspector Morse and made her Hollywood debut in action thriller Passenger 57 in 1992. She became a household name after accompanying Grant to the Four Weddings and a Funeral premiere in 1994 wearing a black Versace dress held together by strategically placed gold safety pins, often referred to as "That Dress". Until the mid-1990s she produced movies with Simian Films, an organisation at the time jointly owned by her and Grant. She appeared in the first two Austin Powers films, Edtv, My Favourite Martian, and Bedazzled.
Quote: "A bit of lusting after someone does wonders for you and is good for your skin."
Trivia: Away from acting, she became the face of Estée Lauder, and has been involved with various charities.
