Born in the Boston area and raised outside Chicago, Brian got his first stage experience singing with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as a member of the renown Glen Ellyn Children's Chorus. There he was trained by original founder Barbara Born, to sing classical symphonies in French, German and English, for world famous conductors including George Solti, and culminating with his solo performance as the Christ Child in a French symphony with the full Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

After graduating high school in Western Michigan, Brian enrolled in the Flight Technology Bachelors program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and flew Cobra helicopters for the US Army. He resigned after ten years to pursue his lifelong goal of professional acting, and immersed himself with live theater training and performances in Monterey/Carmel California.

Mini Bio (1)

Where are you from? Is a popular question that Carlo has no rapid answer for. Born in the U.K and raised in Italy, Hong Kong, the Bahamas and Canada. Add a family history that spans Spain, France, Italy and time spent in Argentina, India, Morrocco and you have pan- cultural on a good day, culturally confused on a not so good day and on a middling day Carlo is from Eagle Rock CA! His father, an internationally renowned and errant (thus the traveling) chef, instilled in him a passion for fine cuisine. This led to Carlo co-creating, hosting and directing a popular documentary-styled show about food entitled the The Great Canadian Food Show. On screen, Carlo plays a lot of very bad men.

诺曼·瑞杜斯，美国男演员。12岁离家周游世界打拼事业，曾在日本，英国，西班牙等国的几个城市居住过。他最初被经纪公司挖掘是在洛杉矶的一个派对上。在洛杉矶期间，他曾在威尼斯的一家哈雷摩托车店工作过，同时还在各类show中承担一些艺术工作，曾担任画家、摄影师、雕刻师以及演员。

诺曼·瑞杜斯第一次尝试演出是在日落大道的Tiffany 剧院，扮演一个溺死者。他曾经为意大利著名奢侈品牌Prada（普拉达）当过模特。 2005年2月在出席完一场演唱会后，在回酒店的途中，他的司机意外转入逆行道，与一辆卡车相撞，他被从挡风玻璃闯甩出到人行道上，导致左脸损伤，不得不进行整容手术。

威廉·达福生于美国威斯康星一个外科医生的家庭，他是父母8个孩子中的倒数第二。虽然都被称为达福，但只有威廉·达福进了演艺圈，其他兄弟姐妹就像他父母那样成为了专业人士：律师、医生、护士，等等。虽然达福在威斯康星大学学的是戏剧专业，但书本教学却让他感觉极其沉闷，结果大学未毕业他就加入了巡演剧团，到美国各地甚至欧洲作巡回演出。这一方面丰富了他的表演经验，也增长了他从书本上学不到的社会知识。达福的电影处女作是1981年在导演迈克尔·西米罗广受抨击的影片《天国之门》里出演一个小角色。幸运的是，在影片正式公映时，达福的戏被剪掉了，从而避免了相应的一些负面影响。此后，达福1983年出演了《千年血后》，1985年出演了《威猛奇兵》，1986年达福的表演生涯达到第一个高峰――《野战排》带给他第一个奥斯卡提名，1988年主演的《基督最后的诱惑》又引起巨大的争议，作为一名演员，早期的达福总是与有争议的影片联系在一起。日渐成熟的他出演了无数一级好莱坞大片，有《燃眉追击》、《蜘蛛侠》、《英国病人》，在2005年他出演了一部高品质的影片《曼德勒》。近几年陆续有新作推出，属于多产的演技派。

威廉-达福不是好来坞那种红得发紫的超级巨星，也许正因如此，外表有些凶狠而实际上却为人谦卑的他才在影坛广结了人缘。在其20多年的职业生涯里，演绎了数量众多而性格迥异的角色，与奥里弗-斯通(《野战排》、《生于七月四日》)、马丁-斯科塞斯(《基督最后的诱惑》)等大师级导演以及汤姆-克鲁斯(《生于七月四日》)、麦当娜(《身体的证明》)、朱丽叶-比诺什(《英国病人》)、桑德拉-布洛克(《生死时速2》)等巨星均有过合作。在好莱坞，很少有人能够像达福这样自如地游走在剃刀边缘。他穿梭在主流与边缘之间，既胜任大制作中的小角色，更能演小制作里的大角色。虽然达福饰演的某些角色一直不乏争议甚至非议，但其角色的丰富多彩却成为好来坞影星们莫不追求的梦想。达福还是一位非常勤奋的演员。在好来坞，明星们一年能拍两部影片就算不错，而达福却曾有过一连接拍四部影片的记录，且凭借《吸血鬼的阴影》(Shadow of the Vampire)一片而获得了“洛杉矶影评家协会”的最佳男配角奖，并继1986年的《野战排》之后第二次获得“奥斯卡”最佳男配角的提名。
