Trivia: A former child star who managed to avoid burning out before her teens, Elisha Cuthbert successfully carried the success from Popular Mechanics for Kids and Are You Afraid of the Dark? into a featured role on the hit FOX series 24 and a successful film career. A Calgary native who landed her first modeling job at the tender age of seven, it was a mere four years later that Cuthbert instinctively knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her days in front of the lens. Following an appearance in the 1997 feature Dancing on the Moon, Cuthbert landed a job as a field correspondent for the acclaimed Canadian television series Popular Mechanics for Kids, and her reporting proved so effective that she caught the attention of first lady Hillary Clinton, who invited Cuthbert to Washington for a meeting. Though she spent the majority of her youth in Montreal, Cuthbert moved to Los Angeles at age 17 in order to pursue an acting career. Featured roles as a reluctant pilot in Airspeed (1998) and a time traveling teen in Time at the Top (1999) were soon to follow, and by the time Cuthbert joined the cast of Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? in 1999, it was obvious that her talent was growing. Her role in the made-for-Canadian-television feature Lucky Girl only furthered her reputation as a dramatically capable actor, and her distinct onscreen facial expressions and convincing performance soon caught the eyes of producers who were preparing a new thriller series for FOX.Cast as Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) damsel-in-distress daughter, Kimberly in the breakout hit 24, Cuthbert's character suffered through multiple kidnappings and a mountain lion attack over the course of the series' first two seasons. In the episode of 24 in which she shared a scene with the mountain lion, Cuthbert made news when the beast actually attacked her on the film set, sending the frightened actress on a trip to the hospital with an injured hand. On the heels of 24, Cuthbert took a supporting role in the comedy Old School before appearing in the subsequent romantic comedies Love Actually (2003) and The Girl Next Door (2004), the latter of which found her taking the lead as an ex-porn star who becomes the object of affection to a lonely suburban boy unaware of her past.Having reached starlet status, Cuthbert would continue to act throughout the 2000's and 2010's, most notably in thrillers like The Quiet and Captivity, as well as TV shows like 24, The Forgotten, and Happy Endings.

Trivia: A comedienne who got her start with a brief tenure on NBC's Saturday Night Live, actress-cum-playwright Casey Wilson laid claim to a prestigious educational pedigree that included enrollment at New York University's Tisch School for the Arts and further study at the exclusive Stella Adler School of Acting. She then teamed up with fellow comedy writer June Diane Raphael to co-author a sellout two-woman show, Rode Hard and Put Away Wet, at Manhattan's Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. The production ran for 11 months, made the Aspen Comedy and Arts Festival, and won the covetable ECNY award for Best Comedic Duo for its two creators; it also drew the attention of SNL, and executive producer Lorne Michaels recruited Wilson as one of the program's in-house performers in 2008. By that point, Wilson had already branched out into feature-film activity, with small roles in Christopher Guest's For Your Consideration (2006) and Bob Odenkirk's The Brothers Solomon (2007); she and Raphael subsequently authored the script for the comedy Bride Wars, co-starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. In 2008, Wilson held a small role opposite John Malkovich and Colin Hanks in the showbiz drama The Great Buck Howard. She went on to appear in Julie & Julia, Killers, and Freak Dance. WIlson played the perpetually lovelorn Penny Hartz on ABC sitcom Happy Endings for three seasons before the critical darling was cancelled in 2013.
