America began appearing in school plays and community theatre productions at the age of eight. Although she made her film debut at the age of 18 playing an overweight teenager in the 2002 drama Real Women Have Curves, her mum was keen for her to continue her education, and America combined acting with studying for a degree in International Relations and Theatre at the University of Southern California.

She also starred in the movies The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (2005), Lords of Dogtown (2005) and Steel City (2006), but only became a household name after she was approached by Salma Hayek to take the lead role in Ugly Betty, the US remake of a successful Colombian soap opera. The series was popular on both sides of the Atlantic and ran for four series. Since Ugly Betty ended, she has appeared in The Good Wife, and in November 2011, she made her London stage debut playing Roxie Hart in the musical Chicago in the West End. She voices the character Astrid in the How to Train Your Dragon movies.
Quote: "It's so reassuring to have a woman heroine who triumphs with more than just what she has on the outside, who has more to offer the world than just a pretty picture."

Born: November 13, 1969 in Glasgow
Best Known For: Taking the lead in sword and sandals epic, 300
Early-life: Born on November 13, 1969, in Glasgow, he's the youngest of three children. His parents divorced when he was young, and he had little contact with his father until he was 16, when they became close; Gerard was devastated when his dad died of cancer six years later. He attended the University of Glasgow, where he studied law, eventually becoming president of the school's Law Society. He also spent a year living in California. Gerard landed a trainee lawyer's position at an Edinburgh law firm, but was fired a week before gaining his qualifications.
Career: Butler's first role of note was in a stage production of Coriolanus directed by Steven Berkoff. After playing the character of Renton in the stage adaptation of Trainspotting, he made his big-screen debut in Mrs Brown. Small roles in James Bond outing Tomorrow Never Dies and Tale of the Mummy followed. His sensuous turn as Dracula in Wes Craven's horror caught the eye, and he's been busy ever since. Among his biggest projects since are the lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, 300, RocknRolla, PS I Love You and Law Abiding Citizen. Butler is clearly a man who likes to keep busy - he usually has lots of films in various stages of production.
Quote: "During some of the most miserable periods of my life, people thought I was very happy. And now that I'm actually happier, I don't have to show it. I'm more comfortable with myself."

Best Known For: Being the 10th Doctor Who.
Early-life: Born David John MacDonald on April 18, 1971, in Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland, the youngest of a vicar's three children.

He changed his name because there was already an actor named David MacDonald, adopting the surname of Pet Shop Boys singer Neil Tennant.
Career: Tennant's TV debut was in a 1993 episode of Rab C Nesbitt, but he first made people sit up and take notice thanks to an acclaimed performance in Takin' Over the Asylum a year later. His first film was 1996's Jude. He then appeared in the likes of Duck Patrol, Love in the 21st Century, Bright Young Things and He Knew He Was Right. In 2004, musical mini-series Blackpool helped raise his profile, while Casanova turned him into a heart-throb. Tennant replaced Christopher Eccleston in Doctor Who in 2005, but left the role at the start of 2010; he did, however, return for the 50th anniversary episode in 2013. Projects since include Single Father, Fright Night and Broadchurch - he is also the star of the US version, Gracepoint. He continues to appear on stage whenever possible.
Quote: "I've always been a geek and slightly awkward. I was never the cool kid at school."
Trivia: In 2011, Tennant married Georgia Moffett, daughter of fellow Doctor Who star Peter Davison.
