James Franco (Actor) .. Lindsay
Born: April 19, 1978 in Pala Alto, California
Best Known For: Spider-Man.
Early-life: James Edward Franco was born in Palo Alto, California, on April 19, 1978, and is the eldest of three brothers. His mother, Betsy Lou, is an actress and writer. His father, Doug, ran a technology business and died in 2011. James graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1996 and went on to attend UCLA, majoring in English. To overcome his shyness, he got into acting while studying there but, against his parents' wishes, left after just a year. After 15 months of intensive study at Robert Carnegie's Playhouse West, James began actively pursuing his dream of finding work in Hollywood.
Career: Franco landed a role in cult US TV show Freaks and Geeks, and followed it up with other minor roles before scoring a major critical success in a TV movie about the life of James Dean. That led to him being cast Spider-Man's best friend in the summer 2002 major hit Spider-Man and its sequels. Deuces Wild, City by the Sea, Pineapple Express and In the Valley of Elah followed. He won rave reviews opposite Sean Penn in Gus Van Sant's Milk and gave an Oscar-nominated performance in 127 Hours - he also co-hosted the Oscars in 2011. Despite huge movie successes, Franco re-enrolled at UCLA in the autumn of 2006 to study creative writing; he later published a collection of short stories which received mixed reviews.
Quote: 'When I was a child, I wanted to be an actor, but I had really bad buck teeth. I didn't want to get braces, but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So, I got the braces.'
Trivia: He has lectured in film at New York University and plays in the band Daddy.

Career: Leo went on to make guest appearances in a number of popular TV shows, including The Equalizer, Miami Vice, The Young Riders, Veronica Mars, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Law & Order. She had recurring roles on Homicide: Life on the Street, Mildred Pierce and Treme. Her film credits include 21 Grams (2003), Frozen River (2008), The Fighter (2010), Prisoners (2013), Oblivion (2013), The Angriest Man in Brooklyn (2014) and The Equalizer (2014).

Rachel Brosnahan (Actor) .. Sandra
Thomas Jay Ryan (Actor) .. Dmitri Sokurov

John Craven (Actor) .. Joseph
Born: August 16, 1940 in Leeds
Best Known For: John Craven's Newsround and Countryfile.
Early-life: Born in Leeds on August 16, 1940, and was educated at Leeds Modern School; other famous pupils include playwright Alan Bennett and actor Bob Peck. Craven started his professional life in print journalism as a junior reporter on the Harrogate Advertiser before working for the Yorkshire Post and as a freelance correspondent and writer for national newspapers. He joined the BBC staff in Newcastle upon Tyne, to work on local radio and TV, before moving to the BBC in Bristol.
Career: From 1972 he was the eponymous host of a regular children's news programme, Newsround, often called John Craven's Newsround. The first such programme ever produced by British TV, it drew on the full journalistic resources of the BBC, and featured a number of news scoops, it being the first news programme of the day on TV during its early years. In 1989 he left the Newsround programme and began to present what was then the BBC's new rural affairs programme, Countryfile; although no longer its main presenter, he remains a fixture on the show.
Quote: 'The reality is that country people now have to fight to keep the things that once were taken for granted.'
Trivia: He was awarded an OBE in 2000.
