Ever since she was a child growing up in South Jersey, Katrina Law had more energy than she knew what to do with. Her mother (being the brilliant mother that she is) recognized this at an early age and enrolled Katrina in a variety of activities ranging from dance and gym classes to karate lessons, soccer practice, and voice coaching. You name the activity and Katrina's mother probably had her try it at least once. When she graduated high school her yearbook was filled with photos of her on the Varsity Track team, Varsity Soccer Team, Varsity Cheerleading Squad, and even the Varsity Weightlifting Team. She was also a member of the National Honor Society and won the title of Miss New Jersey Teen USA, where she went on to represent the state at finals on national television.
This eccentric collection of interests and activities, combined with her exotic physical appearance usually means that the first question people ask her is, "What are you?"
What she is, to answer their question, is a typical small-town American Girl. Her parents met during the Vietnam War; her father being a Catholic of German and Italian decent serving in the U.S. armed forces and her mother a Buddhist living in Taiwan, working as a bartender. This combination of cultures learning to live in harmony under one roof taught Katrina tolerance, patience, understanding, and humor as a child and still guides her to this day.
After graduating with a theater degree from the Richard Stockton College of NJ, Katrina's acting education continued on in the big cities of Philadelphia and New York. There she not only deepened her understanding of acting as an art form, but she also sharpened her teeth on the business of acting. In New York City she earned her SAG eligibility on the set of Lucky Numbers (2000) with Nora Ephron and John Travolta, and finally joined SAG when she booked a guest star role on NY's Third Watch (1999). Since then, she has gone on to act in many exciting projects, including a three-episode arc as the Mord'Sith Garen in Legend of the Seeker (2008) and as the series regular Mira in the hit show Spartacus (2010).- Actress

Born June 23rd in Tarzana Ca, Hunter is the son of celebrated hair stylist Marlene D Williams and stunt man Richard Williams. Growing up on set was intriguing to young Hunter, getting to meet many of Hollywood's A list.
He excelled in sports, and after high school traveled Europe playing minor league soccer. After a serious ankle injury, he returned home to Los Angeles. It is said that when one door shuts, another opens. An old friend asked Hunter if he wanted to go to an open casting call for a Drew Barrymore film, and he agreed. While standing in a line of two hundred hopefuls, Hunter was spotted by the casting director and offered a role in Never Been Kissed (1999).
The production atmosphere seduced him, he quickly moved his soccer career to the back burner and dedicated his time to acting. Over the next few years Hunter was in countless casting rooms, tirelessly auditioning all over town. He was a reoccurring character on Spy Tv (2001), Who knows the Band? (2001), and The Jamie Kennedy Experiment (2002). He also did several photo shoots, appearing in ads for Levis and O'Neil. With his ankle now healed, Hunter went back to competitive soccer while still searching for his break out role.
In 2007 his dream of playing pro soccer seemed ready to take flight when he was asked to try out for the LA Galaxy. Just days later, he was offered his first lead role in the suspense thriller, Divine Unrest (2008). The cross roads can be a lonely place, and the direction we choose may change things forever. Hunter took the role of Fin Griffin, a man tormented by guilt and addiction. The experience calcified his perception of the craft, and justified his many years of hard work. He has never looked back.
Next he landed roles in several shorts, including G.S.I. Ghost Services International (2007), Diagonal (2009), and another lead in the feature length film Theft by Deception (2010).
Hunters parents met on the set of Little Big Man (1970). And it goes with out saying that Hollywood has changed a bit in the last forty years. In 2009 Hunter decided to take charge of his career, and formed Busted Knuckle Productions. He surrounded himself with industry professionals and raw talent. His competitive nature and personable demeanor allow him to wear the producer's hat with confidence and grace. Consummate networking skills and efficient use of resources helped him produce, co-write and star in their first feature, Cornered (2011).
Also due out this next is the paranormal thriller, The Whispering Dead (2013), and a short film titled The Riverside Shuffle (2011). Today Busted Knuckle Productions is a fully functioning production company, with complete top of the line camera and lighting departments, and a wide range of talent to pull from in all areas.

Adam grew up in the Scottish town of East Kilbride, where he attended the local East Kilbride rep theater company - the same starting point for fellow Scots, actor John Hannah.
His passion for acting lasted throughout his childhood and he was accepted to Glasgow's prestigious RSAMD, straight from high school. Following in the footsteps of other notable Scots actors like Billy Boyd, David Tennant, Daniela Nardini and Robert Carlyle, he graduated, after three years, with a BA in Acting.
His first professional job came along, while still in his final year, when he appeared in the famous Kings Theatre Panto, with Elaine C. Smith and the late Gerard Kelly. He was also spotted during his last year at college and picked to star in Channel 4's fictional boy-band Mocumentary, Boyz Unlimited (1999), with 'James Cordon'.
After spending some time in London, where he formed his own theater company, "Jockney Productions", and wrote his first play, "Disintigration", he was cast in the movie, To End All Wars (2001), an epic POW film set during World War 2. Filmed in Hawaii with a stellar cast, including Kiefer Sutherland, Robert Carlyle and James Cosmo, this film also introduced Adam to his future wife, Michelle Kath, who was visiting her stepfather, Kiefer Sutherland, on the set.
After To End All Wars (2001), Adam returned to the UK and appeared in many television series, including Hollyoaks: Movin' On (2001), As If (2001), Holby City (1999) and, perhaps most memorably, as the bleached-blonde air steward "Will O'Brian" in Mile High (2003).
After a few years of dividing his time between London and Los Angeles, Adam and Michelle were married in Edinburgh and, eventually, settled in Los Angeles in 2005.
Since then, Adam has worked on a variety of US television and film projects, including Painkiller Jane (2007), with Kristanna Loken, National Lampoon's Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006), The Summit (2008), with Christopher Plummer, Rachelle Lefevre and James Purefoy, the award-winning The Day of the Triffids (2009), with Dougray Scott, Eddie Izzard and Joely Richardson.
2011 looks set to be the biggest year for Adam to date. At the end of 2010, he beat off stiff competition to land his first leading film role, as "Lloyd Buist", in the adaptation of Irvine Welsh's critically- acclaimed novel, "Ecstasy". This highly-anticipated movie, Ecstasy (2011), also starring Kristin Kreuk (Smallville (2001)) and Billy Boyd ("Lord Of The Rings"), will be released, internationally, at the end of 2011.
In another starring role, Adam recently became a father for the second time to baby Quinn Sinclair, a little brother for six-year-old Hamish Sinclair.- Actor

Timothy Christopher Hayes was the first of three sons born to Tim Hayes, an executive for Bayer Healthcare, and Susan Hayes, an interior refiner. Though Hayes took his first breaths in San Antonio, Texas, his time in the Lone Star State would be short-lived, due to the demands of his father's career. In fact, Hayes moved around to 8 different states as a child before eventually settling in Chester, New Jersey at the age of 10.
It was in New Jersey where Hayes's love for acting first revealed itself, when in 8th grade he was intent on being cast as the lead in his class production of "Romeo & Juliet" for the sole purpose of kissing the girl who played Juliet. Unfortunately for the ambitious middle schooler, Hayes, who describes himself back then as a "chubby little troll," did not exactly look like Romeo-at least in the conventional sense. Instead, Hayes was cast as Mercutio, where his natural comedic timing allowed him to steal the show. His quest to become a working actor began that night, and his love for comedy and his penchant for stealing scenes have continued to this day.
From that point, Hayes began a torrid pace of making short films with his friends throughout high school and college. Among the hundreds of films that he shot during this period were low budget homages to "Jurassic Park," "Back to the Future," and "Upright Citizens Brigade." He also produced an abundance of original improv material.
After graduating from West Morris Mendham High School in 2003, Hayes attended Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, where he pledged Sigma Pi Fraternity and graduated with honors with a degree in economics. Despite what his degree says, Hayes's actual focus during this time was the theater, where he was able to really stretch himself as an actor through works as diverse as Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People" to Charles Busch's "Psycho Beach Party." Studying abroad in both Australia and Spain also contributed heavily to the breadth of experiences that Hayes is able to draw on for each role that he plays.
In 2007, almost immediately after graduating from college, Hayes took the plunge and moved out to Los Angeles. Within a year, Hayes booked the lead in his first feature film, "The Loneliest Road in America," a story of three friends on a road-trip along America's beautiful and desolate Route 50. The film was shot on-location in Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and California.
While working at a casting office, not long after wrapping this first film, Hayes displayed a bit of ingenuity in procuring his next feature film role. He asked to work as a "reader" during auditions for "Beneath the Dark," which his office was casting. Hayes impressed the film's producers so much that towards the end of the process, they offered him a small role in the film. Not only did this role earn Hayes his SAG eligibility, but he also attended the film's world premier at the 2010 South by Southwest film festival in Austin, Texas, where his grandmother did him the honor of being his date on the red carpet.
Since that time, Hayes has managed to increase his profile even more. He recently finished filming a principal role in "Black Gold" starring Billy Zane, Eric Roberts, Tom Sizemore and Michael Madsen. He has another film, "The Grief Tourist," starring Melanie Griffith and Michael Cudlitz opening this year. Hayes provided a lead role in the short-film, "Shooting for Something Else," which was recently accepted into the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. In addition, he was recently cast to appear in two more feature films set to begin filming soon.
Though Hayes often plays the boy next door with a darker side, he is a versatile talent, whose sincerity and eagerness to learn have allowed him to find relative success in a short period of time. Strong relationships with family and friends will serve to keep him grounded as his star rises even higher.
