More Information

Did You Know..

Ally Walker (Actor) .. Susan Stone

Born: August 25, 1961
Birthplace: Tullahoma, Tennessee, United States

Trivia: Worked as a genetic-engineering lab assistant in San Francisco after college; considered going to med school. Pursued acting after a producer noticed her in an L.A. restaurant and offered her a part in the movie Aloha Summer (1988). Her scene was cut. Played a troubled wife, Katie, in the racy 2007 HBO drama Tell Me You Love Me, about three couples who see the same therapist. Appeared in a series of commercials for Clairol. Took on the role of an outspoken ATF agent in the FX drama Sons of Anarchy, which debuted in 2008. Appears in the film Wonderful World, a 2009 drama starring Matthew Broderick.

Hayden Panettiere (Actor) .. Suzie Stone

Born: August 21, 1989
Birthplace: Palisades, New York, United States

Trivia: Though she was only 17, by the time Hayden Panettiere gained stardom as one of the leads on NBC's hit superhero drama Heroes, she'd already been acting for more than 16 years. After appearing in television commercials beginning at 11 months old, flaxen-haired Panettiere was cast as a regular on One Life to Live at five. She remained on the show for three years, before leaving for a stint on another soap, Guiding Light. Meanwhile, she appeared in a number of small movie parts as well as one of the lead voices in Pixar's A Bug's Life. After Panettiere showed up in such films as Remember the Titans and Joe Somebody, her next notable role was Maddie Harrington, the long-lost daughter of the quirky title character on Fox's Ally McBeal. Along with supporting parts in Raising Helen and Racing Stripes and the lead in the second straight-to-DVD Bring It On sequel, several more small TV roles followed before 2006, when she was cast on Heroes as the cheerleader with the ability to spontaneously heal herself. A major hit with television viewers, Heroes was nominated for Emmy awards every year from 2006 through 2010 -- ultimately taking home a trophy for Best Visual Effects in 2009. After Heroes went off the air in 2010, Panettiere seemed determined to show her versatility by taking on the role of a convicted murderess in the made-for-TV movie Amanda Knox; Murder on Trial in Italy, returning to vocal work as Little Red Riding Hood in Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil, and appearing as a successful young pop star in the 2012 ABC drama Nashville.

Tom Amandes (Actor) .. Thom Weller

Born: March 09, 1959
Birthplace: Richmond, Illinois, United States

Trivia: Richmond, IL, native Tom Amandes received his formal dramatic training at DePaul University's Goodman School of Drama, where he aggressively cut his chops on the stage. After his 1981 graduation, Amandes remained in the Chicago area and broke into its theatrical community, with apprenticeships at such venues as the Body Politic Theater and the Court Theatre. The actor achieved his on-camera breakthrough almost a decade later, as the lead, Eliot Ness, in the 1992-1994 syndicated television revival of the 1960s police drama The Untouchables, then went on to essay guest appearances on series programs including Murphy Brown, The Larry Sanders Show, and NYPD Blue, and landed small roles (usually bit parts as professional types) in films including Straight Talk (1992), The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), and Brokedown Palace (1999). Beginning in 2002, Amandes commenced a multi-season supporting turn as a physician, Dr. Harold Abbott, on the family-themed small-town drama Everwood (2002-2007). In 2006, he co-starred opposite Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, and Christine Baranski in the gentle seriocomedy Bonneville.

Trivia: American actor Richard Romanus enjoyed an extensive stage career before making his entree into films in 1970. For the most part, Romanus has been seen in secondary roles, usually as Italian-Americans. In the Henry Jaglom-directed black comedy Sitting Ducks (1980), he co-starred as Moose and also wrote the film's musical score. His series-TV resumé includes such roles as Captain Vito Lombardi in Foul Play (1981), Lt. Charlie Gunzer in Strike Force (1981) and Vinnie in Johnny Bago (1993). Richard Romanus is related to actor Robert Romanus (Facts of Life, Fame).

After getting his start on Canadian television, appeared in the films eXistenZ and Good Will Hunting. Nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award in 2002 for the TV series Our Hero. Originally auditioned for the role of Morgan on Chuck, but when he didn't get it the producers offered him the smaller part of Lester; they were so impressed with his work that they made him a series regular in the second season.
