Trivia: Canadian-born Peter Stebbings moved to New York City to study theater in his early twenties, but he didn't opt to stay in the Big Apple. Instead, after landing a few minor appearances on American TV, he returned to Canada, where he ended up starring in the acclaimed series Madison starting in 1993 -- eventually earning two Gemini nominations. Stebbings would remain comfortable with the format of television, going on to appear on a wide variety of shows over the coming two decades, like Traders, The Hoop Life, Relic Hunter, Jeremiah, Across the River to the Motor City, Flashpoint, Murdoch Mysteries, The Listener, and more. Stebbings would find a home in movies as well, notably playing the Greek god Helios in the 2011 film The Immortals.

Trivia: A native of Houston, TX, Brett Cullen graduated from that city's university, also finding time to compete in fencing and contribute to the Houston Shakespeare Festival. Opting for a shot at stardom over continuing his theater studies, Cullen landed a role on The Chisholms as his first breakthrough. He achieved much attention as Bob Cleary in the highly successful miniseries The Thorn Birds, which led to a stint on the nighttime soap Falcon Crest. He continued to work steadily on both the stage and the screen including production of Guys and Dolls, The Little Foxes, and numerous Shakespearean plays. His film credits include Courage Under Fire and Apollo 13, a role that led to him joining the cast of the Tom Hanks-produced television spectacle From the Earth to the Moon. Cullen has had recurring roles on such respected programs as Ugly Betty, Friday Night Lights, The West Wing, and Lost. In 2007, he starred opposite Uma Thurman in the drama In Bloom. That same year, Cullen starred in the pilot for the television program Life Is Wild, but he was replaced when the show went to series by D.W. Moffett. He had a major role in 2008's The Life Before Her Eyes as well as Brothel. Two years later he played the dad of the troubled lead singer of The Runaways, and he followed that up with a part in the teen comedy Monte Carlo. In 2012 he could be seen in the blockbuster The Dark Knight Rises.
