They didn't throw away the mold, when it came to Rob Archer. He broke it. At 6'6", and 285 lbs. of solid, etched muscle, Archer moves like a comic book superhero come to life. As an actor, he moves smoothly between playing the recurring role of Bio-Man on "Defiance" [Seasons 1,2,3], the recurring role of Bruce on "Lost Girl" [Seasons 3, 4, 5] and the "Lost Girl" webisodes, four different characters on "Warehouse 13," guest-starred as The Brain on "XIII: The Series," Vernon Hicks in The Samaritan, and Buzz on Bulletproof Monk. Archer's credits also include "Beauty and the Beast," Kickass2, "Flashpoint," "Alphas," and Repo Men.

For the winter of 2015, Archer embodies what is becoming, according to Hitfix, this generation's premiere bogeymen: Krampus in A Christmas Horror Story, co-starring William Shatner, which premiered at Fantasia, 2015. Certainly this is bolstered by two awards from the 2015 After Dark Film Festival: Best Monster/Creature (Krampus) and best Villain (Krampus played by Rob Archer).

Archer has just completed work on 22 Chaser, playing opposite Brian J. Smith (Sense8) and Raoul Trujillo (Sicario) and Operation Insanity where he takes on, literally, James Caan. Before that, he most recently appeared as the lead Navy Seal in Adam Sandlers, Pixels, trading lines with Josh Gad. Archer's career began as a stuntman/actor on "Mutant X" when he played the villain in the Season 2 finale. He was brought back to the series again in their third season and also appeared in Robocop. A consistent pattern emerged where producers took note of his acting and expanded his roles to keep him on screen longer.

加拿大演员艾伦·阿什莫和肖恩·阿什莫是制造业经理Rick Ashmore的双胞胎儿子，弟弟和他一样也是演员。其中艾伦要早来到世界一分钟，并且长大后身材更高大和强壮一些；正因为如此艾伦表示他总是得到一些凶狠的角色，而弟弟总是演好人；不过在《Smallville》中是Shawn首先出现并且饰演了恶角。此外非常有趣的是，他们的母亲也是双胞胎出身，十岁之际母亲带着可爱的兄弟俩加入了一个名为“多胞胎家庭联合会”的俱乐部组织，此后很快就被经纪人发掘，开始出演一些广告，时而一起出演，时而各自单独出镜。12岁时艾伦本有一个广告通告，但由于当天突然生病而让弟弟顶替他去拍摄，结果使得肖恩从此的演艺道路都比哥哥走的先一步。两人曾在多部影片中出演了双胞胎角色，尽管外形极易被混淆，但逐渐在表演上展现出了各有千秋的才能，开始出演不同的类型的角色，成年之后外貌也就更加容易被分辨出来。目前他们依然分享着多伦多的一套住宅，兄弟俩手腕上也拥有相同的“GMA”字样的文身，这和他们的祖父一摸一样，代表着“Good Man Ashmore
