Chris Pine (Actor) .. Jack Frost
Born: August 26, 1980 in Los Angeles
Best Known For: Captain James T Kirk in the movie reboot of Star Trek.
Early-life: Christopher Whitelaw Pine was born in Los Angeles on August 26, 1980. He comes from a showbiz family - his grandmother, parents and older sister have all been actors. After attending high school he studied English at the University of California; during that period he spent a year at Leeds University. He also won a place at the London Academy of Dramatic Art, but due to financial constraints, was forced to turn it down. Instead, he studied at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre.
Career: Pine's first professional job came in an episode of ER. Other small TV roles followed before The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement turned him into a teen heart-throb in 2004. Made-for-TV films, drama series and big-screen outings followed, but the only one of note was 2006's Smokin' Aces - until the chance to play Kirk in JJ Abrams' Star Trek reboot came his way. It immediately fired him onto Hollywood's A-list. Since then, he has starred in Unstoppable, This Means War, Star Trek Into Darkness and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.
Quote: 'I still assume that, any day, I'm going to be exposed as a fraud. That, like I once heard Gene Hackman say, the acting police are going to burst in and take away my card.'
Trivia: He voiced the character Jack Frost in Rise of the Guardians.

Alec attended George Washington University and majored in political science, originally intending to be a lawyer. However, after graduating, he auditioned for a place on New York University's drama programme as a dare. He was accepted, and hasn't looked back.
Career: Alongside theatre roles, Baldwin's early career included parts in TV series The Doctors, Cutter to Houston and Knots Landing. His first film was Forever, Lulu in 1987. A year later he starred in Beetlejuice (1988), and had smaller roles in Married to the Mob (1988), Working Girl (1988), Talk Radio (1988), and She's Having a Baby (1988).
