John Cena
(Actor)
Born:
April 23, 1977
Birthplace: Newbury, Massachusetts, United States
Trivia:
A celebrated professional wrestler who made a smooth transition to Hollywood roles as an action star, John Cena ironically grew up as something of a weakling; he reportedly weighed only 125 pounds in junior high. When others began relentlessly picking on the West Newbury, MA native for his undersized appearance, he rebounded by undergoing a weight-training program and bulking up. Cena later played collegiate football as an All-American center at Division III Springfield College, and moved to Los Angeles after graduation to establish himself as a bodybuilder. To support himself, he sold supplements at the "mecca" of bodybuilding, Gold's Gym in Venice; participated in flexing contests; and briefly starred in a reality television series on the UPN network, Manhunt.WWE recruited Cena when one of its stars happened to notice him training at Gold's; Cena then embarked on a successful and lucrative career as a top-tiered professional wrestler, winning a myriad of events against various competitors, and his wrestling career peaked when he won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 21. Cena's assumed identity as a wrestler often involved donning a "rapper" persona, which correlated with the performer's out-of-ring plans, for he did actually harbor ambitions as a rap singer. In time, he made his debut as an urban music recording artist on the May 2005 Columbia Records release You Can't See Me. Cena would continue to act in movies over the coming years, appearing in releases like The Reunion and Camp Fred.Cena's Hollywood acting work commenced with the title role in director John Bonito's poorly received action thriller The Marine (2006). The film concerns an injured U.S. marine who takes vengeance into his own hands when his wife is kidnapped by a thug (Robert Patrick). Cena followed this up with another lead, this one in director Renny Harlin's 12 Rounds (2009). As produced by Fox Atomic, the film mirrored the premise of The Marine; it stars Cena as a police officer who takes serious action when his wife is abducted.

Pamela Adlon
(Actor)
Born:
July 09, 1966
Birthplace: New York, New York, United States
Trivia:
Though her resumé encompasses dozens of supporting roles, more viewers -- many more -- know supporting actress Pamela Adlon (née Segall) through her prolific voice work than by her visage. Like Nancy Cartwright, this spunky and versatile brunette actress is perhaps most familiar for giving breath to a male animated character: that of Bobby Hill, the sweet-natured preteen son of redneck Hank Hill, with dreams of becoming a prop comic, on Mike Judge's family-oriented animated sitcom King of the Hill (1997). Adlon kick-started her career on a low yet memorable note, as Dolores Rebchuck, kid sister of "T-Bird" Paulette Rebchuck (Lorna Luft) in the clunker Grease 2 (1982). Roles in mostly forgettable features such as The Fantastic World of D.C. Collins (1984) and Gate II: Return to the Nightmare (1992), followed through the '80s and '90s, as did guest-starring appearances on sitcoms including The Jeffersons and Night Court. Adlon's fortunes began to improve with the Cameron Crowe-directed Gen-X favorite Say Anything... (1989) and with a vocal turn in Ferngully: The Last Rainforest (1992) that paved the way for her work on King four years later. She and the rest of the cast remained with King of the Hill for many seasons, a testament to that program's enduring popularity. Alongside King, Adlon delivered a fine comic portrayal as Kim, wife of Louis C.K.'s character, on the sitcom Lucky Louie. That series folded after one season, but Adlon soon found her way back to premium cable, with the recurring role of Marcy Runkle, wife talent agent Charlie Runkle (Evan Handler) -- whose star client and best friend was writer Hank Moody (David Duchovney) -- on the successful Showtime dramedy Californication, which premiered in 2007.

She first played Claudia Finnerty on the Irish-American-themed family sitcom Grounded for Life, alongside Donal Logue and Kevin Corrigan, from 2001 to 2005. Then, two years after that series folded, Price earned rave reviews for her portrayal of the nuptially jaded Audrey (opposite onscreen hubby Patrick Warburton, of Seinfeld fame) on the relationship sitcom Rules of Engagement (2007).

Birthplace: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Trivia:
After beefing up his bank account as a sales clerk (handling everything from men's clothing to farm machinery), Canadian actor Len Cariou began his formal theatrical training at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival and the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre. Cariou's first professional appearance was in the chorus of the Canadian company of Damn Yankees. On Broadway from 1968, Cariou was prominently featured in such long-running musicals as Applause and A Little Night Music. In 1972, he was appointed artistic director of his old stomping grounds, the Tyrone Guthrie; and in 1979 he won a Tony award for his portrayal of the title character in the Stephen Sondheim musical drama Sweeney Todd. His film roles include Frederick in A Little Night Music (1978) and Nick Callan in The Four Seasons (1981). On television, Len Cariou was perhaps never busier than during the 1993-1994 season, when he appeared in five made-for-TV movies, including Charles Bronson's remake of The Sea Wolf. Over the coming years, Cariou would remain active on screen, appearing in movies like The Greatest Game Ever Played and on TV shows like Brotherhood, Damages, and Blue Bloods.
Glynn Turman
(Actor)
Born:
January 31, 1946
Birthplace: New York, New York, United States
Trivia:
African American character actor Glynn R. Turman was first introduced to the general public as Lew Miles, teen-aged son of Dr. Harry Miles (Percy Rodrigues) and his wife, Alma (Ruby Dee), during the 1968-1969 season of the prime-time TV soap opera Peyton Place. Turman went on to star as Chicago high schooler Leroy "Preach" Jackson in the 1975 film sleeper Cooley High. Settling into character roles in the 1980s, Turman was most often seen as judges, military officers, police detectives, and well-to-do patriarches. A departure from these "establishment" assignments was Turman's star turn in the 1981 TV-movie Thornwell, in which he portrayed real-life soldier James Thornwell, who accused the U.S. Army of subjecting him to illegal mind-controlling drugs. Turman's weekly series roles have included Secretary of State LaRue Hawkes in 1985's Hail to the Chief, and Colonel Bradford Taylor (aka "Dr. War") in the popular Cosby Show spin-off A Different World (1988-1993); he also appeared in the 1983 pilot episode of Manimal as Ty Earl, a role essayed by Michael D. Roberts in the series proper. In the 2000s, Turman played the memorable role of fictional Baltimore mayor Clarence V. Royce on the critically acclaimed HBO series The Wire. Also on HBO, he appeared in a few episodes of the psychotherapy drama In Treatment, winning an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his role as the tough, strict father of Blair Underwood's troubled fighter pilot. In the years to come, Turman would remain active on screen, appearing on shows like The Defenders and House of Lies.

Birthplace: Jacksonville, North Carolina, United States
Trivia:
Actor Edwin Hodge resisted being typecast and pigeonholed, and felt equally at home in projects representing a myriad of genres, from frat-boy comedies (National Lampoon Presents: Dorm Daze) to period epics (The Alamo) to teen-oriented thrillers (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane). Hodge (the brother of actor Aldis Hodge) debuted in the early 2000s, signing for one of his first jobs with a supporting role in Victor Nuñez's fine, overlooked ensemble drama Coastlines (2002), and at around the same time made guest appearances on such series as Angel and Touched By an Angel.
