Trivia: A native of La Jolla, CA, actress Autumn Reeser grew up in nearby Oceanside and Carlsbad and gravitated to drama as a young girl; she reportedly discovered her life's calling when she felt inspired by a child's portrayal of a mouse in a local stage version of Cinderella. Reeser commenced tryouts for local theatrical productions not long after her sixth birthday and continued to appear in a variety of plays and musicals through her late teens, then enrolled in the University of Southern California at the age of 17 and studied acting while supporting herself by waiting tables on the side.The thespian scored her first major acting coup in 2001, with a bit part on an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, then signed for a series of guest roles on programs including Cold Case, George Lopez, and Grounded for Life, in addition to films such as the independent drama Americanese (2006) and the collegiate-themed ensemble film Palo Alto (2007). She only came into her own, however, with a portrayal of backward and maladroit Taylor Townsend on seasons 3 and 4 of the prime-time teen-oriented soaper The O.C. (2005-2007). In 2008, Reeser signed on to play Phoebe Valentine, one of a family of Greek immortals whose collective mission involves bringing human soulmates together, on the Kevin Murphy-produced romantic comedy series Valentine. The show was quickly cancelled, and Reeser joined the HBO series Entourage, playing the recurring role of junior agent Lizzie Grant for a handful of episodes. She was next cast in two more short-lived series: superhero dramedy No Ordinary Family (2010-11) and submarine drama Last Resort (2012-13).

Trivia: A former model whose dark and handsome good looks made him the ideal candidate for a role on television's most supernaturally charged daytime drama, Jesse Metcalfe made a big impression on television viewers when he made his small-screen debut as the easygoing Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald on Passions in the late-'90s. The Waterford, CT native and Tisch School of the Arts graduate has also appeared in a number of commercials and magazines (including Seventeen and YM) on his way to the top. Sent on an open call for Passions by his modeling agency in 1999, Metcalfe won out over hundreds of other actors thanks to a winning combination of good looks and relaxed talent in front of the cameras. After an impressive five-year run on the outlandish soap opera, Metcalfe appeared in a reoccurring role on the popular cult hit Smallville. He then truly hit his stride with his role as boy-toy stud John Rowland on the ABC hit Desperate Housewives. It was only a matter of time before Metcalfe made the leap to the big screen, and in the summer of 2006, he essayed the role of the eponymous serial cheater in director Betty Thomas' romantic comedy John Tucker Must Die. Metcalfe would go on to spend the next few years starring on Desperate Housewives, Chase, and a remake of the night time soap Dallas. An avid songwriter and guitarist, Metcalfe has also displayed his athleticism by joining the Hollywood Knights, a charitable basketball team dedicated to raising funds for schools throughout Southern California.
