David Lehre (Actor)
Andrew Garfield (Actor)
Born: August 20, 1983
Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, United States
Trivia: Actor Andrew Garfield arrived on the Hollywood scene in the mid- to late 2000s, with supporting roles in a pair of big-screen releases: he performed alongside Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, and Meryl Streep in Redford's directorial outing Lions for Lambs (2007) and then signed for a part in Terry Gilliam's fanciful morality tale Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (2009). But it turned out to be another 2009 project that gave him his breakthrough when he earned strong reviews for his work in the Red Riding trilogy. He parlayed that into an impressive 2010 when he starred in the Never Let Me Go, and played the co-founder of Facebook in David Fincher's The Social Network. Hot from that, he signed to play Spider-Man in a reboot of the successful superhero franchise. The first film in that new series hit screens in summer of 2012.
Taylor Swift (Actor)
Born: December 13, 1989
Birthplace: Reading, Pennsylvania, United States
Trivia: Music star Taylor Swift showed all the signs of her future career as a singer/songwriter when she was still a small girl growing up in Pennsylvania. Creative from the beginning, Swift was singing for local audiences by the time she was ten, and won a national poetry contest in the fourth grade for her poem "Monster in My Closet." By 12, the young artist was singing, writing songs, playing the 12-string guitar, and shopping demos around Nashville, hoping to score a record contract.Within a few years, Swift's family relocated to the Nashville area so that the aspiring performer could pursue her career full-time. She was eventually offered a development deal with RCA, but rejected it when it didn't allow for her to record her own songs. Swift would be rewarded for her stalwartness, however, when she was signed by Big Machine Records a short time later. She was also hired in as the youngest staff songwriter ever to work for Sony/ATV Tree publishing.Swift released a self-titled album in 2006, and it became an immediate hit, soon setting chart records that put her in league with established acts like the Dixie Chicks and Carrie Underwood. She released her sophomore album, Fearless, in 2008, which debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 list and became the top-selling album in the U.S. for 2009 and launched her first world tour to support the album. Shortly after, Swift made a move into acting, appearing in an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and pulling double duty as both the host and musical guest in an episode of Saturday Night Live. The following year, she appeared in the ensemble romcom Valentine's Day, opposite another young Taylor- Taylor Lautner, of the Twilight film series.Despite trying to branch out into acting, Swift quickly returned to music, keeping very busy releasing three albums between 2010 and 2014 and going on a tour to support each one. Her 2014 release, 1989, marked her official break with country and was her first album to be exclusively pop.
Jesse Eisenberg (Actor)
Born: October 05, 1983
Birthplace: Queens, New York, United States
Trivia: Born in Queens and raised in New Jersey, actor Jesse Eisenberg first made an impression on filmgoers as an awkward teen whose uncle leads him on a lusty tour of Manhattan in director Dylan Kidd's award-winning indie Roger Dodger. Though Eisenberg had previously appeared on the Fox drama Get Real and as a storm-chasing teen in the made-for-television drama Lightning: Fire from the Sky, it was Roger Dodger that marked his entrance as a dramatic actor. While subsequent roles in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village and the Wes Craven werewolf fiasco Cursed may have offered Eisenberg little chance to display his dramatic prowess on camera, a more substantial role as a teen whose parents are divorcing in The Squid and the Whale found Eisenberg singled out for praise at both The Gotham Awards and The Independent Spirit Awards. The following years would see Eisenberg climbing the rungs in smaller films like The Education of Charlie Banks, The Hunting Party, and Boys Don't Leave, but his breakthrough came in 2009 with a leading role opposite Kristen Stewart in the period comedy-drama Adventureland. He would soon follow this critically acclaimed hit with a movie that impressed critics and audiences alike, the 2010 horror-comedy Zombieland, in which the actor played the unlikely survivor of a zombie apocalypse. Fast becomming a household name, Eisenberg found an even better vehicle for his talents playing the leading role in the 2010 Oscar contender The Social Network. Playing real life Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Eisenberg was nominated for a host of awards, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe. The following year, the actor signed on to play another character based on a real person, this time with the bizarre comedy 30 Minutes or Less, about a pizza delivery guy forced to commit a bank robbery. He voiced the lead role in the animated film Rio, and in 2012 had a brief turn in the indie comedy Free Samples.
Justin Timberlake (Actor)
Born: January 31, 1981
Birthplace: Memphis, TN
Trivia: Notorious for spearheading the "teen pop revolution" of the mid to late '90s, alongside Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and others (and the inheritor of superstardom from male heartthrobs of earlier generations such as David Cassidy and Donny Osmond), Justin Timberlake attained a reputation as one of the pop music scene's most talked about celebs. He also became a source of constant tabloid fodder -- not only for his relationships with Spears, Cameron Diaz, and others, but for his allegedly unbridled private life.Timberlake launched his career as a youngster on the Mickey Mouse Club set, then made his name as a member of *NSYNC and as a soloist before branching out into films in the very early 2000s. As an actor, he began small, with a cameo appearance in the Ben Stiller-directed Zoolander -- an off-the-wall farce about a bunch of inane male models led by Stiller and Owen Wilson. While Timberlake's walk-on was a bit part at most, the exposure helped him expand his range and his repertoire, while the subject of the film coyly spoofed his public image. Small-screen appearances on The Osbournes and Saturday Night Live followed, but it wasn't until 2005 that the then 24-year-old Timberlake became a top-billed movie star. In that year's Edison Force, in which Timberlake co-starred with movie giants Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman, the former teen idol played Joshua Pollack, a straight-faced, straight-arrow journalist determined to take on a league of crooked rollers. The picture was released straight to DVD in late 2006 and earned tepid reviews.The singer upped his film appearances in 2006, with a plethora of first-run roles. He stuck to the crime thriller genre with his follow-up to Edison, Alpha Dog (2006). Directed by Nick Cassavetes (She's So Lovely, John Q.) from his own script, the picture stars Emile Hirsch (The Girl Next Door) as an über-powerful drug dealer who kidnaps a youngster to collect a ransom the boy's older brother's tab; Timberlake plays one of Hirsch's henchmen, who inducts the tyke into the wild side of life. In 2007's Black Snake Moan, Timberlake plays the boyfriend of Christina Ricci's nympho Rae -- a girl who becomes the hostage of an aging African-American blues musician (Samuel L. Jackson). Timberlake also appears in a supporting role in Southland Tales (2006, directed by Donnie Darko's Richard Kelly) and voices the rebellious prince Artie (a young King Arthur) alongside longtime paramour Diaz in 2007's Shrek the Third. In 2008 he played potent hockey player Jacque "Le Coq" Grande in Mike Myers comedy The Love Guru, but he scored the most high-profile success of his film career in 2010 when he played Napster founder Sean Parker in David Fincher's award-winning Facebook film The Social Network. He followed that up in 2011 with the romantic comedy Friends With Benefits and the sci-fi film In Time. The next year he appeared in the Coen brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis.
Rihanna (Actor)
Born: February 18, 1988
Birthplace: St. Michael, Barbados
Trivia: A pop superstar with a beautiful voice and a face to match, Rihanna was discovered in her native Barbados when she was just 15. She'd been singing practically from birth, and the young musician often formed musical groups with other girls at school. Rihanna was harmonizing with some friends when her vocal stylings were overheard by producer Evan Rogers while he was on vacation with his wife. Rogers was positive the girl had star potential, and this soon led the young artist to move to the States, where she recorded a demo with Rogers and soon scored a record deal with Def Jam. She released her debut album, Music of the Sun, in 2005, and soon became a major fixture in the pop music world, with regular rotation on radio and MTV. Her second album, A Girl Like Me, came in 2006, and a third, Good Girl Gone Bad, came in 2007. All proved to be major hits, both critically and commercially, and Rihanna soon found that she'd become a bonafide star and an icon of music, fashion, and media. She was splashed across the tabloid after being involved in a violent domestic incident with her then boyfriend Chris Brown the day of the Grammy awards in 2009. Three years later she would make her acting debut in the special effect action film Battleship. Rihanna continued acting; she landed cameo roles in This Is The End and Annie in 2014 before voicing the lead in the animated film Home in 2015.

Birthplace: New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
Trivia: Rapper Lil' Wayne (born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.) starred in Cash Money Records' 2000 independent film, the New Orleans-set Baller Blockin', and made a cameo appearance in 2007's Who's Your Caddy?
Ashley Tisdale (Actor)
Born: July 02, 1985
Birthplace: West Deal, New Jersey, United States
Trivia: Ashley Tisdale's older sister Jennifer Tisdale had already blazed an acting trail by the time the young girl decided that performing was her passion as well. A relative of tele-business man Ron Popeil as well as the developer for Ginsu Knives, Ashley had an easiness in front of an audience that ran in her family, and she began making appearances on TV shows like 7th Heaven and Charmed when she was just a preteen. During this time, she also worked as a Ford model, building up a resumé that would surely leave her prepared for a serious career by the time she reached adulthood, but fame came knocking early for Tisdale, when she was cast in the Disney TV movie High School Musical. A chance to showcase both her charisma and her singing ability, the movie became a huge success that was wildly popular among kids and preteens. She appeared in both of the sequels to that made-for-cable smash, and starred in the spinoff film Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure. She stayed in the Disney family for the sitcom The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and also began voicing the part of the sister on the Disney animated series Phineas and Ferb. In 2010, she played a cheerleader in the short-lived CW series Hellcats, and since then, has guest-starred on shows like Sons of Anarchy, Raising Hope and the Crazy Ones, while continuing to work extensively in voice-over roles.
