Trivia: A multi-talented actress who's just as comfortable on the stage as she is before the cameras, Lauren Tom has built quite an impressive resumé by establishing herself as one of the most prolific small-screen players of her generation. While fans of such popular television sitcoms as Friends and Men in Trees are no doubt familiar with her face, Tom has also crafted an impressive voice-over career thanks in large to work on such animated television series as Batman Beyond, Futurama, and King of the Hill. Though she would first gain notice as the dutiful daughter of an Asian-American family attempting to bridge the gap between the past and the present in The Joy Luck Club, Tom had already been acting in film and television for over a decade -- her career gradually gaining momentum thanks to bit parts in such films as Wall Street, Blue Steel, and Cadillac Man. Two years after her breakout performance in The Joy Luck Club, Tom would shine in her recurring role as Ross' girlfriend Julie in Friends. While her onscreen presence was indeed captivating, audiences would soon discover that Tom's unique voice could be a huge asset to any number of animated productions. Though in the following years, Tom's voice could be heard in a variety of animated releases, onscreen performances in shows like Monk and movies such as Bad Santa proved that the increasingly active voice-over artist was still very much committed to her onscreen career as well. In 2006, Tom made a sizable impression on theatergoers by relating her quest for inner peace in her Dramalogue Award-winning one-woman show 25 Psychics. With a Broadway background that has included performances in A Chorus Line and Hurly Burley, Tom has a ready comfort on the stage that has allowed her to focus on her impressive storytelling skills. In 2006, Tom was back in front of the camera keeping television viewers in stitches as mail-order bride (Mai) to crusty pilot Buzz (John Amos) in the rural comedy drama Men in Trees.

Trivia: Even those who don't know Kevin Michael Richardson's face will frequently remember his voice. The actor's unique baritone has made him a memorable presence in many projects, including several voices on the animated series Family Guy. A classically trained performer, Richardson was one of eight students selected for the 1982 National Foundation for the Arts program, leading to a full scholarship for Syracuse University. He would go on to become a successful actor and voice actor, wracking up a long list of roles on everything from Pokemon to The New Batman Adventures. Othyer shows featuring Richardson's distinctive voice include Transformers Prime, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Real-life voices Richardson has portrayed include Bob Hope (in a 2006 Malcolm in the Middle episode), Bill Cosby (a number of Family Guy episodes) and Plato (PBS's Adventures From the Book of Virtues, 1996-98).

Trivia: He was sent like a gift from the basketball gods upon Michael Jordan's (second) retirement from the NBA, labeled "The Chosen One" on the cover of Sports Illustrated at the age of 17. Amazingly, LeBron James has more than lived up to the hype brought on by his otherworldly teenage skills. James combines Jordan's intensity and will to win with the court vision and charisma of Magic Johnson, somehow without ever appearing the prima donna. A born showman, he plays to the crowd with high-flying dunk displays in warm-ups, followed by elaborate dances with teammates that go well beyond the standard chest-bumping. While demonstrating early in his career to be very much like Mike (wearing Jordan's No. 23), James shows more promise than Jordan in performing off the court. The affable James enthusiastically showed off his creativity, acting instincts, and dance moves as a 2007 guest host of Saturday Night Live and as co-host (with Jimmy Kimmel) of ESPN's 2007 ESPY Awards. Perhaps "King James'" easiness on stage was forged during his high-profile prep career in Akron, OH, where Kristopher Belman's cameras followed James' every move as a senior while making More Than a Game (2008). The documentary details the heartwarming bond James shared with four longtime classmates as they played the most nationally televised high school season ever.

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.
