Career: Richards moved to Los Angeles where she gained more modelling work, but she soon learnt that, at five feet six inches, she wasn't tall enough. She began attending acting classes and made her TV debut in an episode of Life Goes On in 1990. Her first film was 1991's Loaded Weapon 1, which was followed by numerous forgettable projects. Starship Troopers made her a star in 1997. Since then she's appeared in Wild Things, Drop Dead Gorgeous, The World Is Not Enough, Scary Movie 3, and Love Actually. She posed nude for a Playboy pictorial in 2004, and semi-nude - for charity - in another magazine shoot in 2006. Richards made two seasons of reality show Denise Richards: It's Complicated, starting in 2008. She failed to find her feet on the 2009 run of Dancing with the Stars, becoming the second contestant to be eliminated. She played the recurring role of Debra in American comedy drama Blue Mountain State, which ran during 2010 and into 2011.

Career: Neil's first big break came in 1989 when he landed the lead role as a teenage doctor in comedy drama Doogie Howser, MD. When the show ended in 1993 after four seasons, Neil took up stage acting. He continued to make guest appearances in various TV shows, but he didn't hit the small-screen jackpot again until 2005 when he was cast as Barney Stinson in popular sitcom How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM). HIMYM ran for nine seasons, clocking up more than 200 editions. More recently, Neil has starred on the big screen in The Smurfs (2011) and its sequel The Smurfs 2 (2013), The Muppets (2011) and American Reunion (2012). He won two Emmy Awards in 2010 for a guest appearance in an episode of Glee and for hosting the 63rd Annual Tony Awards. He also won Emmys for hosting the 65th and 66th Tony Awards.
