Trivia: Although teen dance-pop sensation Mandy Moore may rank alongside Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera as one of the most popular female singers of her generation, her midriff-free image and genuine vocal talents have propelled her from the recording studio to movie sets in projects that are both family friendly and positive in nature.Born in Nashua, NH, and raised in Orlando, FL, Moore was inspired to pursue a career as a vocal artist after attending a stage performance of Oklahoma! and witnessing the entrancing effect the lead performer had on the audience. Honing her skills with singing lessons and countless bedroom performances of "The Wind Beneath My Wings," Moore took to musical theater and began regularly performing the National Anthem at local sporting events. It wasn't long before two producers who had heard her sing at a game asked if she would be interested in cutting a demo. Eagerly accepting the offer, the young songstress recorded her first album at 14, with film roles following close behind. Gaining confidence in front of the camera with her self-titled MTV show in addition to appearances on The Andy Dick Show and a children's video entitled Magic Al and the Mind Factory, Moore loaned her voice to the character of a Girl Bear Cub in Dr. Dolittle 2 before making her feature debut (much against type as she claims) as a mean cheerleader in The Princess Diaries (2001). Dying her blonde locks brunette for her first major role in A Walk to Remember (based on Nicholas Sparks' best-seller), Moore brought her comparatively chaste image to the screen in an innocent tale of young lovers from opposite sides of the spectrum. Low key and with a plot that leans toward Christian themes, Moore proved with her feature debut that her values come well before public image regardless of how un-chic they may color her in the public eye.Publicly admitting that she was gravitating towards a career in front of the camera since it was easier than singing, Moore continued her onscreen career with films like How to Deal, Because I Said So, License to Wed. In 2010, Moore provided the speaking and singing voice for Rapunzel in the Disney movie Tangled. She voiced the character across other mediums, too- she performed the song "I See The Light" from the film at the Oscars that year and made a guest appearance as Rapunzel on the Disney show Sofia the First in 2014. Moore stuck with the Disney family, voicing the lead character in the Disney animated show Sheriff Callie's Wild West. She also picked up a recurring role on the short-lived FOX series Red Band Society. In 2016, she headlined NBC's new series This Is Us.

Trivia: Born July 8th, 1977, by the time Milo Ventimiglia graduated from high school in 1994, the bright lights of Hollywood had already shone their way to his Orange County home, and within the next year, the young actor was making his first onscreen appearance with a walk-on role on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The part was the first of many, as Ventimiglia proceeded to spend the late '90s and early 2000s with similar roles in movies like She's All That and on shows like CSI. In 2004, Ventimiglia nabbed what most actors would consider a big break when he landed a recurring role on the hit series American Dreams, but a much bigger break was still in store. He joined the regular cast of the WB series Gilmore Girls in 2005, playing the part of Jess Mariano and making millions of viewers familiar with his face. The boost to his star-power no doubt influenced casting directors, who cast him as the son of Sylvester Stallone in 2006's Rocky Balboa, and then as a young man who discovers he harbors superpowers on the smash-hit sci-fi series Heroes. Ventimiglia appeared in the sci-fi action thriller Gamer in 2009, and took on a supporting role in the 2012 Adam Sandler vehicle That's My Boy.

Trivia: American actor Justin Hartley debuted in 2005 in a small supporting role in Russell Brown's gentle, understated romance Race You to the Bottom (2005), about the amorous relationship that blossoms between a bisexual travel writer (Cole Williams) and a female friend from his college days (Amber Benson). He went on to play Fox Crane on the daytime drama Passions, and was poised to protray Aquaman in a CW show of the same name, but the network chose not to go forward with the series after shooting a pilot. Hartley nonetheless got to take on a superhero role shortly thereafter, playing billionaire Oliver Queen (aka the Green Arrow) in several episodes of the popular CW Superman series Smallville between 2006 and 2011. Over the coming years, Hartley would remain active on screen, appearing in films like Spring Breakdown and Scorpio Men on Prozac.
