Andrew McCarthy
(Actor)
.. Larry Wilson
Born:
November 29, 1962
Birthplace: Westfield, New Jersey, United States
Birthplace: Westfield, New Jersey, United States
Trivia:
Youthful actor Andrew McCarthy went to prep school in New Jersey, lending to his classic, clean-cut good looks. A member the so-called Brat Pack of '80s Hollywood teen stars, McCarthy was usually cast as a good-guy leading man, basically sincere underneath his brooding teen angst. After studying theater at N.Y.U., he made his film debut in 1983 in the teen sex comedy Class with Rob Lowe and Jacqueline Bisset. In 1985, he appeared as the sulky writer Kevin in St. Elmo's Fire and the new Catholic school kid in Heaven Help Us. The next year, he was cast opposite Molly Ringwald as rich boy Blaine in John Hughes' Pretty in Pink. He later re-teamed with Ringwald for the dark romantic drama Fresh Horses. In 1987, he appeared opposite Kim Cattrall in the screwball comedy Mannequin and opposite Jami Gertz and Robert Downey Jr. in the addiction drama Less Than Zero. The same year, he portrayed Henry Hopper in the PBS American Playhouse production of Waiting for the Moon, based on the colorful lives of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. In 1989, McCarthy formed a winning comedy team with Jonathan Silverman for the goofy farce Weekend at Bernie's, a surprisingly funny hit. They re-teamed for the less-successful Weekend at Bernie's II in 1993. The next year, he appeared briefly in the critically acclaimed ensemble films The Joy Luck Club and Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle. In 1999, he married his college girlfriend, actress Carol Schneider. His youthful good looks enabled him to play Bobby Kennedy in the 2000 television miniseries Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. As the following years passed, McCarthy would find success on the series Lipstick Jungle, as well as in movies like The Spiderwick Chronicles, Camp Hell, Main Street, and Snatched.
Jonathan Silverman
(Actor)

Born:
August 05, 1966
Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, United States
Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, United States
Trivia:
Jonathan Silverman was discovered while acting in a play at Beverly Hills High School. The gangly, chipmunk-faced Silverman was thrust into stardom when he replaced Matthew Broderick in the role of Neil Simon's teenaged alter ego Eugene Jerome in Simon's Broadway play Brighton Beach Memoirs. The young actor recreated this role for the 1986 film version, then continued the Eugene Jerome saga in Simon's follow-up plays Biloxi Blues and Broadway Bound. The actor is also well known for his role as dimwitted Andrew McCarthy's even more dimwitted cohort in the two Weekend at Bernie's films. Silverman's first TV stint was as the husband of Laurie Hendler on the 1980s sitcom Gimme a Break; in 1995, Silverman headlined his own weekly comedy series, The Single Guy.

Trivia:
Chicagoan Terry Kiser has been a member of the movie character-actor pool since 1968. Kiser hasn't exactly scaled the heights of fame with such films as Friday the 13th Part VII, but he has paid his bills on time. His TV work has included a stint as Dr. John Rice on NBC's The Doctors, a recurring role as reporter Al Craven on the popular sitcom Night Court, and a sojourn as a member of Carol Burnett's repertory players on 1990's Carol & Company. Terry Kiser's most memorably recent film assignment has been as the scene-stealing corpse (!) in the two Weekend at Bernie's comedies of the 1990s.

Ted Kotcheff
(Actor)
.. Jack Parker
Born:
April 07, 1931
Trivia:
Canadian director Ted Kotcheff cut his teeth on live television in his native country, then moved on to British TV in 1957. While a resident of England, Kotcheff directed his first film, Tiara Tahiti (1962), using his full name William T. Kotcheff. Despite an engaging premise about rival hotel owners in Tahiti and a cast including James Mason and John Mills, Tiara Tahiti wasn't a major success. Kotcheff made up for this setback with his next British film, Life at the Top (1963), the cynical sequel to 1959's Room at the Top. For Outback (1971), Kotcheff took cast and crew to Australia for the fascinating tale of a schoolteacher's experience with a primitive Australian tribe. Back in Canada in 1974, Kotcheff all but single-handedly turned that country's film industry around with The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, the freewheeling tale of a Jewish lad (played by a pre-star Richard Dreyfuss) aggressively climbing up the social ladder in mid-'40s Montreal. Though based on a Mordecai Richler novel, it was the most autobiographical of Kotcheff's works, and his best to date; Duddy Kravitz also represented the first true box-office hit to emanate from Canada since the silent era. Between this film and Kotcheff's next adaptation of Richler, 1985's Joshua Then and Now, the director bided his time in less personal, purely commercial-minded efforts like Fun with Dick and Jane (1977) Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? (1978), and the mother of all Rambo epics, First Blood (1982). Since Joshua Then and Now, Ted Kotcheff's career has boomed, but his "signature" as a director has been barely recognizable in such factory efforts as Switching Channels (1988) (the most recent remake of The Front Page) and the two puerile Weekend at Bernie's comedies.

Jason Woliner
(Actor)
.. Bratty Kid
Born:
June 01, 1980
Trivia:
The most cinematically oriented of the contributors to MTV's sketch series Human Giant (2007), filmmaker Jason Woliner took his first Hollywood bow at age seven when tapped by executive producer Robert Klane to play "the screaming kid" in the goofball farce Weekend at Bernie's (1989). In his late teens and early twenties, Woliner began writing and helming a series of comic shorts on both videotape and film, including "Partisan Jab," a compendium of satirical political sketches run as a standing installation at the Museum of the Moving Image. Woliner also contributed occasional sketches to the VH1 network's Best Week Ever. As one of the foremost creators of Giant (alongside Rob Huebel, Aziz Ansari, Paul Scheer, and others), Woliner directed program sketches but never appeared in them.

Lou Criscuolo
(Actor)
.. First Islander
Born:
January 23, 1934
Trivia:
Matty, the Moron and the Madonna was the intriguing title of the first off-Broadway play to feature American actor Lou Criscuolo. After this 1964 debut, Criscuolo seldom missed a theatrical season, appearing in productions as celebrated as Man of La Mancha and as obscure as Hurry Harry. The actor's film roles were generally of the "colorful ethnic character bit" variety in such films as King Kong Lives (1975), Enormous Changes at the Last Minute (1983), Weeds (1987), From the Hip (1987), Once Around (1991), 29th Street (1991) and Weekend at Bernie's (1991). Operating from both coasts, Criscuolo could be seen in such TV series as The Edge of Night, as Danny Micelli; Popi (1976), as Mr. Maggio; and Just Friends (1979), as health spa owner Milt D'Angelo. Lou Criscuolo almost had an actual starring part on a 1977 TV series titled Instant Family, an Odd Couple rip-off co-starring William Daniels, but the show never got past the pilot stage.

Trivia:
Coltish Canadian actress Catherine Mary Stewart made her first film, The Apple, in 1980. This hit-and-miss Faust takeoff was horrible enough to ruin anyone's career, but Stewart managed to survive to co-star in such films as The Last Starfighter (1984) and Weekend at Bernie's (1989). Her best screen showing was as the slack-jawed valley girl who finds herself one of the last two survivors of the Apocalypse in the hilarious Night of the Comet (1984). In the mid-'80s, Catherine Mary Stewart held down the regular role of nurse Kayla Brady on the daytime TV soap Days of Our Lives.
