Career: McCarthy made her TV debut in an episode of the sitcom Jenny, opposite her cousin Jenny McCarthy. Her first film appearance came in Go (1999). A year later, she was cast as Sookie St James in comedy drama Gilmore Girls. It ran for seven seasons until 2007. She later starred in the sitcoms Samantha Who? and Rita Rocks. Her big break came in 2010 when she was cast in a leading role in sitcom Mike & Molly. The following year, she received critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for her part in Bridesmaids (2011). Since then, McCarthy has continued to work on Mike & Molly and she has played lead roles in Identity Thief (2013), The Heat (2013) and Tammy (2014).

Career: Grant gained good reviews for a performance in short film Honest, Decent and True in 1985, alongside Gary Oldman and Arabella Weir. His big break came when Daniel Day-Lewis dropped out of Withnail and I, and Grant took his place. The film was a cult smash. Since then, he's appeared in various films and TV shows, including Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Age of Innocence, LA Story, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Gosford Park, and The Hound of the Baskervilles. His film diary, With Nails, was a best-seller, but a novel, By Design, was disappointing. In 2005, he made his directing debut with the critically acclaimed, semi-autobiographical Wah-Wah. His recent work includes roles in Colour Me Kubrick, Penelope, Cuckoo and The Iron Lady, in which he played Tory politician Michael Heseltine.
