Meli Alexander, born in Hartford, CT, grew up in CT, The Bronx, NY and Pasadena, TX. An accomplished chef, she had aspirations of becoming a registered dietitian and food sociologist. However, the acting bug bit her in Seattle when she worked as a background actor in "Grassroots" (2012). That experience inspired her to make the big move to Hollywood.
Her love for entertaining is very evident the moment you see her. Meli has a perfect "Midwest" accent, probably due to living throughout the United States. She has helped produce (and has acted in) projects such as "Who Killed the Bible Salesman?" (2015) and "Blueprint" (2016).
Meli has also appeared in infomercials, local commercials and national commercials, such as 1-800-Flowers and California Almonds (which aired regionally right after the halftime show in Super Bowl LIII). She will be focusing on her lifelong passion for genealogy with a documentary, a reality series and a family history book. In 2022, Meli has reinvented herself as The DNA Chef to solidify her niche in the genealogy world and by focusing on her desire to learn and teach others about family food history.I've worked with, met, took classes with and/or just love these talented people :)- Angelica Acedo is known for Bridesmaids (2011) and Mega Python vs. Gatoroid (2011).

Michael Anthony Jr. was born on August 28, 1980 in Vancouver, Washington, but was raised in Portland, Oregon. Michael attended Cleveland High School (also the same high school that Nike founder Phil Knight attended) where he was a starter on the varsity basketball team.
After graduation and with his athletic success in basketball, Michael attended Skyline Community College in California. While at Skyline, he focused on his academics and performance on the court. His hard work paid off when he received a full-ride scholarship to finish his education at the University of West Georgia where he majored in psychology.
With the end of college approaching, Michael had to make some tough decisions about what to do next. His fascination with all things film led him to Atlanta where he pursued TV production. As a certified producer by People TV Network, he developed, wrote, and hosted The MAS & More Show - a short, episodic webseries loosely based on his life. The show was well-received, earning him 3 awards from the Turner Broadcasting Network: Producer of the Year, Best Overall Production Values, and Best Programming Entertainment.
Still reeling from MAS & More's success, Michael decided to further hone his craft in front of the camera. He left the east coast and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where he landed at the Second City Improv. When not in class, he often performed live stand-up, booked commercials and print campaigns, and starred in a few independent films. His success in Vegas allowed him to get into SAG. With his new status, Michael headed out destined for Hollywood.
Now, Michael calls Los Angeles home. He is signed with DDO Artists Agency and can be seen in "Brown Paper Bag" on Amazon Prime as well as in supporting roles for 2 new pilots - Bobby, the ex-husband in "Licensed to Chill" and Larry Denton, a defense lawyer in "Wrong for Right".- Actor

Charles-Henri Avelange is mostly known for his symphonic music scores. He started making music with his first electric keyboard when he was 9 years old. Even though he is now able to compose for a hundred-piece orchestra, he never had formal training in music composition and only trusts his ears. When the time came for university studies, he decided to focus on sound engineering so that he could master all the technical aspects of musical composition and recording. He graduated from the Superior Institute of Sound Technics (ISTS, Institut Supérieur des Techniques du Son) in France in 2004.
When he was only 22, Charles-Henri was already being compared to composers like Hans Zimmer. Gilles Tinayre, the President of the French Film Composers' Association, called him the "French Hans Zimmer" and strongly recommended he go to the United States where he could find far better professional opportunities than in France. His career as a film composer started just after his arrival at the United States in March, 2005. His first contact with the American people inspired such great feelings in him that he created a symphony for a CD called "The Age of Heroes" - 11 themes resounding like those of a big action motion picture, in a symphonic Hollywood movie style, as a tribute to all kinds of American heroes.
Charles-Henri is one of the few independent artists distributed at a national level by Barnes & Noble corporation. After he became a BMI registered artist and a member of the Seattle Composers Alliance, his CD became an official fund raiser for the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters (W.S.C.F.F). He has been personally recognized and complimented by the President of the International Association of Fire Fighters (I.A.F.F), Harold Shaitberger, as well as Washington State Governor, Christine Gregoire.
Numerous corporations have benefited from Charles-Henri's music, including Microsoft Corp., the Lion's Foundation. and Kostov Productions. Charles-Henri recently had the opportunity to score a documentary set during World War II, titled "Roystone at War" and produced by Exposure TV in England. Charles-Henri appeared on the well-known French TV show, "Nice Morning", where he talked about his incredible adventure in the United States, and how his CD "The Age of Heroes" was linked to the American fire fighters.
Charles-Henri now applies the skills which have taken him to success with his music upon the broader and deeper oceans of producing.- Actor

Daniel de Weldon fuses innate talent and disciplined dedication to the craft of acting and writing. Raised in both Washington, D.C. and Newport, Rhode Island, Daniel's upbringing was steeped in art with cultural roots in Vienna, Austria-guided by the influential presence of his father, the esteemed sculptor Sir Felix de Weldon. Combined, this set the stage for a career illuminated by creativity and passion.
His rigorous training under the legendary Uta Hagen, followed by his acceptance into the Actors Studio where he was mentored by icons such as Al Pacino, Ellen Burstyn, Martin Landau, and Mark Rydell showcases a commitment to craft that has defined his path, enabling him to absorb and reflect the depth of human experience through his performances.
De Weldon's multifaceted career on stage, in film, and on TV has been marked by critical acclaim and recognition, including numerous Critics' Choice awards. De Weldon won two "Best Actor" awards from the Independent Horror Movie Awards and IMDb's 13 Horror.com, portraying Jason an active-duty Special Forces officer in Desert Storm who returns home bringing the war with him while chronically suffering from psychotic PTSD, in the critically acclaimed film "Anonymous 616".
His portrayal on stage in "Danny & The Deep Blue Sea" with 15 critics' choice awards stands out as a pivotal moment, earning the praise of The Los Angeles Times Chief Critic Charles McNulty. Daniel's capacity to delve into complex characters and emotional landscapes is further evidenced in his performances in productions such as "Kingdom of Earth" (portraying Tennessee Williams), "The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later" and "A Muse of Fire," where he shared the stage with the likes of Barbara Bain and Frances Fisher, highlighting his adaptability and the breadth of his acting prowess.
The transition to television has seen Daniel de Weldon embodying the role of Gar Madden in the eagerly awaited series "Chaser," set to premiere on April 12, 2024. With executive producer Jeremy Howe of "Big Bang Theory" and "Young Sheldon". The "Chaser" series has already garnered attention and accolades, including a Best TV Series award at the Birmingham Film & TV Festival and a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Daniel at Britain's Breaking-TV Film Festival, affirming his ability to shine alongside celebrated fellow actor nominees like Rose Byrne and Oscar Isaac. Daniel's earlier role as Young Doc Holliday in the TV pilot "Badland Wives," directed by Stephan Campanelli of "Momentum" and "Indian Horse" (both executive produced by Clint Eastwood) underscores de Weldon's versatility.
Upcoming projects, including the biopic "Monumental" about Daniel's father Felix de Weldon, and a Broadway musical feature film produced by Emmy winner Maria S. Schlatter of George Schlatter Productions, promise to highlight further Daniel de Weldon's remarkable journey in the arts, illustrating his enduring passion and significant impact on stage and screen.
Critical Acclaim for Daniel de Weldon:
Dread Central Critic's Choice. "Once again, de Weldon dominates the frame as the villainous bad boy, using continuous interference of intimidation and violence. He brilliantly instills fear, pinpointed perfectly by his presence and his control over Anabel. Catering to his mood swings and appeasing his demands only creates a bond between the two misguided talents which helps bring them together...even without the incessant meddling by Eddi to win her over. With a pinch of gloomy taunts in bully-like fashion, it's clear executive producer Jeremy Howe has helped create something more ominous than his "Big Bang Theory" and "Young Sheldon" hits while holding onto the dark humor and sarcasm we've come to adore." - Film Critic Meredith Bogard Brown
What the Butler Saw Critic's Choice: "The way DeWeldon transforms Jason from a hipper than thou vet to a dude with a serious God-complex has to be seen to be believed." - Film Critic James Scarborough Of The Huffington Post
Horror News Critic's Choice: "Special performance honors in the picture to Daniel de Weldon ... Stanislavski promoted the idea ... Many don't do it nearly as well. A central character tour-de-force... the camera eye is on de Weldon and he does not disappoint with his riveting presence." - Film Critic Kevin Nickelson
Los Angeles Times Critic's Choice: "Perfectly cast, Daniel de Weldon's languorous portrayal of self-preening Lot (Tennessee Williams) is an instance of unimpeachable camp - he touches up the roots of his tinted locks as reverently as he fondles his mother's precious crystal... performances make the experience richly entertaining." - Chief Critic Charles McNulty
DreadCentral.com Critic's Choice: "Anonymous 616 could go straight to big screens; a rarity that could find company with films like The Blair Witch Project and the first Paranormal Activity." - Film Critic, Josh Millican
Los Angeles Times Critic's Choice: "de Weldon, effectively contained, finds an arresting stillness, gorgeously performed. Deeply inhabited on a moment to moment basis, turbulently affecting and robust performance, real stakes, gorgeously conjure the sudden weightless astonishment, grace and guts" - Charlotte Stoudt (LA Times, NY Times, and Village Voice Top Critic)
Horrorpedia Critic's Choice: "Daniel DeWeldon is brilliant as the complacent turned ruthless Jason who refuses to deny this alter-ego taking over his psyche. He instantly transforms into a superior, paranoid, and narcissistic animal, pillaging the house of all its demons." - Horrorpedia Film Critic Meredith Bogard Brown
Los Angeles Times Critic's Choice: "To its considerable credit, this production was deeply inhabited on a moment-to-moment basis... High-octane talent, de Weldon brought gritty authenticity...had me admiring the performances." - Charles McNulty (Chief LA Times Critic)
Flick Connection Critic's Choice: " The best part of the entire movie is the performance from the lead played by Daniel de Weldon. This was my first time seeing him in a movie and his performance is unbelievably strong... It's easily the most intense performance I've ever seen in an indie movie... de Weldon punches above the weight of the entire movie and I expect we'll see more from him... an actor likely to make it big. Anonymous 616" which you can currently watch on Amazon Prime. I've personally recommended the film multiple times on the main Flick Connection channel, primarily because of Daniel's powerful performance." - Film Critic, Darren Van Damme
Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Critic's Choice "...stagecraft de Weldon plies flawlessly... Theatergoers who care about fine acting should likewise attend the production for the unearthly performance of Daniel de Weldon." - Top Critic Dany Margolies
LA Weekly Critic's Choice: "de Weldon sat staring into space playing out Shanley's Apache dance with scrupulous honesty and attention to the details, unfolding in the ebbs and flows of real-time... live-wire performance... was the art and craft of being... it matters because it's so rare when they get it so right, the authenticity of it in a world of fakery - a fleeting, sacred moment." - Steven Leigh Morris - Head Critic LA Weekly
Los Angeles Daily News Critic's Choice: " The other two actors here are finely skilled, but they are merely acting. We begin to wonder whether de Weldon is merely acting, not reassured by his nearly spectral bows at the play's end." - Top Critic Dany Margolies
Los Angeles's Stage Raw Critic's Choice: "... this is all masterly writing by Tennessee Williams, and beautifully performed by Daniel de Weldon... some fine work - one great performance." - Gray Palmer
Broadway World Review Critic's Choice: "Kudos go to Daniel de Weldon whose Father Braulio is the mark of a brilliant performance that enlists such an emotional response to a character... Some of the most dramatic and sensational moments I have witnessed on stage." - Shari Barrett
TV Volition Critic's Choice: "Daniel de Weldon's performance is worth the price of admission in and of itself; his is a talent we need to see more of on L.A. stages." -Ernest Kearney
NPR KCRW 89.9FM National Radio Broadcast Critic's Choice: "de Weldon makes Shanley's pungent, staccato dialogue believable... Wild." - James Taylor
BackStage West Critic's Choice: "de Weldon's performance is wonderfully layered. When he gives us a glimpse inside, the bear becomes a teddy bear." - Dave DePino
Showmag.com Critic's Choice: "'de Weldon is a reminder of Marlon Brando's Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, convincing and memorable performance, with a deep wide void aching to be filled with humanity. " - Mary E. Montoro
LAStageScene.com Critic's Choice: "de Weldon with a James Dean look and intensity creates and accomplishes the miraculous, he makes "Danny" heroic. de Weldon is a member of the legendary Actors Studio and it shows. In a city where most plays run 6 weeks or less, The Elephant Theater's production of John Patrick Shanley's unexpected love story of two very lost and damaged souls, (8 months running) has become a real L.A. theater phenomenon. Recipient of the very hard-to-get L.A. Times "Critics Choice," last night I found out why. " - Steven Stanley
ReviewPlays.com Critic's Choice: "Initially and damn effectively, de Weldon is a blunt force instrument, to borrow the phrase with which M labeled Daniel Craig's newly minted 007 Bond. de Weldon's transformation was magnificent in his tentative attempts of intimacy and tenderness." - James Scarborough
Pop Horror Critic's Choice. "Fast-paced and suspenseful, Weekend Warriors is led by the ferocious performance of Daniel de Weldon, also starring in One Must Fall, Underdog, Badland Wives, a talent we are destined to see more of in the future." - Film Critic Danni Winn- Actress

Debra Haden is an "artistic tour de force" located in Los Angeles, CA. Haden has developed her talent in multiple areas throughout her life including acting, dancing, singing, painting, fashion design and animation. In her early years she relied heavily on her creativity and can learn new skills with ease. This ability to learn and adapt has made it easy for her to take on various characters in her acting career. After graduating a semester early from Kansas State with a B.S. in Clothing and Textiles, she moved to the east coast to work for a lingerie manufacturer. The design industry proved to be more technical than creative and Haden began to paint feminist paintings as an outlet for her artistic ideas. In 2005 she finally made her way to the west coast and started a female based arts collective called Feminine Oddities. Inspired by David Bowie's "space oddity", cabaret, sideshow acts, and the "female empowerment" aspect of the Burlesque revival at that time, her paintings were a tall pale alien-esque circus sideshow with flowing raven black Medusa-esque hair. The fashion figure-esque characters were beautiful, imperfect and distorted and several were conjoined twins because she was born a twin. This always made her feel like a stared at "oddity" as a child. It is at this time she began acting and performing at art shows she threw around Los Angeles. The shows fit the themes of her paintings and were considered provocative but layered with cryptic messages about society and politics. Left to interpretation by the viewer many got the hidden messages, others just saw beautiful women. Haden's breakout acting performance was in the 2017 indie punk film "Scumbag" which had its world premiere at the 46th International Film Festival Rotterdam alongside Academy Award-winning Best Picture "Moonlight". The film reached critical acclaim and she won the Exceptional Emerging Artist Award at Hollywood Film Festival along with her co-star Princess Frank for their duet "Is This Real?". In 2016, she officially formed her multi-media music project "Skunk in the Roses" and has since released the 2021 album "Rabid Perfume" (on digital and vinyl). From this album, the catchy single "Sad Sad Vampire" made a splash in the movie "Mister Sister" at Dances with Films in Los Angeles, and people still approach her remembering the tune as it played between movies before the advertisements. She has since released several singles and has performed live in Los Angeles, Toronto, and New York. The last several years, Haden has also appeared in several music videos from En Esch, Spookey Ruben, and Josie Cotton. With her degree in fashion, she enjoys designing original costumes and characters for live performances and uses them to be a muse at Disney and for various animators. She has also been the subject matter in photos featured by photographers in several art galleries such as Sur Le Mur at the Pacific Design Center. After being around artists and animators for several years she felt compelled to teach herself computer animation and in 2013 taught herself how to use After Effects. Using this new medium she created and voiced her own animations, many appear in her multi-media performances, as well as in the closing credits for the movie "Scumbag". In 2016 she also took an interest in Augmented and Virtual Reality and began teaching herself Adobe Spark, Cinema 4D, and Blender. Haden still loves to perform live and was seen in "Branson the Sitcom" and "P.L.A.Y Noir". Most recently Haden picture wrapped her third leading role in the feature film "Stars" in which she portrays an undercover homeless cop. In 2024, she is slated to be in an upcoming indie feature film that has not been announced and continues to tour while performing with the movies "Scumbag", "Mister Sister" and the upcoming "Stars" at screenings and events.- Additional Crew

Sam Hulick is a Chicago-based, BAFTA nominated and NBC News award winning composer for film, television and interactive media, best known for creating the signature music for BioWare's blockbuster sci-fi franchise Mass Effect as well as original music for the fantasy role playing games Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition (2012) and Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition. With a penchant for creating powerful emotions and memorable themes, Hulick's original scores range from fantasy landscapes and sweeping sci-fi to orchestral bombast, intimate piano and small string ensembles.
Graduating from Indiana University as a computer programmer, Hulick sought to combine his passion for writing imaginative music and interactive media. In 2003, Hulick won the Game Audio Network Guild Award for young composers and scored his first title, Maximo vs. Army of Zin (2003). Hulick's career propelled to new heights when he was approached to co-write the score for Mass Effect (2007) with Jack Wall. Hulick penned various memorable compositions such as the iconic "Mass Effect Theme" as well as "The Normandy", "Uncharted Worlds", "Sovereign's Theme," "From the Wreckage," "Victory," "Uplink," and many more. The '70s/'80s inspired electronic score was lauded by critics as "One of the most memorable and unique soundtracks in gaming" (Game Informer) and won Best Original Score awards from IGN, GameSpy and GameSpot.
For Mass Effect 2 (2010) Hulick was again tapped for his inventive blending of analog synths with orchestral instrumentation. The soundtrack featured a suitably darker and more cinematic musical experience to complement the sequel's heavier subject matter. Mass Effect 2 received British Academy (BAFTA) and Spike TV VGA nominations for Best Original Score. Hulick also created the classical-influenced orchestral score for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad (2011). The evocative, haunting music sets the mood for one of the most brutal battles in all of human history - the battle for Stalingrad.
Returning for the third chapter in the Mass Effect series, Hulick's compositions for Mass Effect 3 (2012) enhance many of the key cinematic and emotional scenes including the climactic conclusion. Described as "One of the most powerful and memorable musical scores ever created for a video game" (The Verge), Hulick's new themes include "Mars", "I Was Lost Without You", "I'm Proud of You" and "An End, Once And For All" (Mansell & Hulick). Mass Effect 3 won IGN's 2012 "People's Choice Award - Best Overall Music", GameTrailers' "Best Soundtrack of the Year" and NBC News' "Best Video Game Music Award." Hulick also composed the score for Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut which includes new and extended cinematics that feature more of the emotionally impactful material Hulick was responsible for in Mass Effect 3.
Hulick's latest assigments include composing an intensely emotional and lyrical score, recorded with piano and string soloists, for the upcoming PBS feature Jens Jensen the Living Green (2013), a documentary film celebrating the life and works of the famous late 19th Century landscape architect.

Actress and rising-star Norma Jean marks her feature film debut in the highly anticipated Martin Scorsese film, Killers of the Flower Moon, debuting in October, 2023. Norma Jean portrays "Vera," and her co-stars include Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Jesse Plemons. Being cast by one of her most influential role models, Scorsese, was Norma Jean's dream come true.
Norma Jean knew she wanted to perform beginning at the age of five. Born in Camden, New Jersey, and raised in Watertown, New York, her mother named her after Marilyn Monroe. She began dance class to overcome a disability caused by a horrific accident with scissors. Dance quickly became her life, and throughout her childhood, she studied ballet, tap, jazz, creative and ballroom dancing, and played the piano, the flute, and the clarinet. Her love of dance and music transcended many other performing-art-related interests, including theater and comedy. She was an avid athlete in high school, performing in her school band as a color guard and majorette. She also competed as an ice skater, winning numerous competitions in the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA).
After high school, Norma Jean set off on her own, working three jobs and falling in love with community theater. Over the course of her career, she has performed in Grapes of Wrath, Inherit the Wind, H.M.S. Pinafore, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Music Man, Agnes of God, Oliver!, My Fair Lady, and Auntie Mame, to name a few. She is revered for her ability to artfully master dialects such as Cockney, French, Minnesota/Wisconsin, Upstate New York and NYC New Yorker, Puerto Rico, Southern, Russian, Irish, German, and British.
Norma Jean currently voices the role of "Shandra Keating" in Celeritas, a sci-fi podcast that ranks in the top ten of all sci-fi podcasts in 15 countries. A gifted comedienne, she performs as Smokin' Bev, an opinionated and sometimes offensive character she based on her mother, on Tik Tok. Norma Jean is often compared to other rubber-faced comediennes such as Imogene Coca, Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, and Lily Tomlin.
Additional credits include parts in the hit television shows Fresh Off the Boat, Mad Men, Men of a Certain Age, 10 Years Younger, Parks and Recreation, and Boston Legal.
Norma Jean is an outspoken advocate against domestic violence and works diligently on behalf of victims and survivors. She has an Interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science degree in International Business and Public Speaking from SUNY Empire State College in Saratoga Springs, NY. She currently resides in Austin, Texas.
