Born and raised in Newport RI. of Irish heritage, he realized from an early age that he enjoyed entertaining people with his off beat sense of humor. His first acting experience came as a high school freshman when he performed in a school play. He immediately fell in love with the entire theater experience. That feeling of exhilaration after the final curtain came down is one that never left him. After graduating he decided to put that on hold to join the Army and serve his country. With his drive and determination he advanced quickly and was trained in a multitude of advanced skills. He eventually entered flight school where he was trained as an attack combat pilot. Throughout his 20 year military career he served with distinction including 3 tours in Afghanistan and 1 in Iraq, and was decorated in battle as an Apache Longbow Helicopter pilot.
It was the difficult things he experienced in battle that influenced him to seek out the lighter side of life through his early love of comedy and entertaining people. With his quick wit and improvisational abilities, he soon became known among his fellow soldiers for his ability to step out of himself and create comedic characters with great humor and vibrancy. These techniques helped him deal with the day to day realities of war.
It was after he no longer had to concentrate on such life and death struggles that he had time to reflect on what he wanted to do with the next chapter of his life after he left the Army. So, while stationed at Fort Bragg NC. he decided to pursue in earnest his passion for acting and theater. His first step was to join a local ensemble group of comedians who had formed the "Horrible Folks Comedy Show", where he performed and helped write comedy skits of all types. He also began acting in local theater where he once again got the chance to take on more dramatic roles.
And, though his love of comedy that brought him into acting, he realized it was performing itself that he enjoyed most. He (especially) likes ensemble productions and working along side other like minded performers in ensemble casts and the connection he felt with his audiences. This realization was pivotal in solidifying his decision to pursue the performing arts full time.
He continues to act and explore different genres of TV and film. He's also presently writing and producing a Fantasy-Adventure with a strong dose of horror. A strong member of his community he loves animals, does volunteer work and looks forward to playing Santa Claus each year for the children of soldiers stationed at Fort Bragg during the tree lighting ceremony.- Actor

His college years were interrupted by some harrowing twists and turns, but Anthony graduated from ECU in 1992 with a BFA in Communication Arts. In 1993, he drove with a friend to Los Angeles where he slept on the floor of his high school friend, Keith Coulouris' apartment in Studio City, CA. Keith was instrumental in Anthony getting a bit part in, Dead Man's Revenge (1994), a USA network movie of the week, starring Bruce Dern, Michael Ironside and Vondie Curtis-Hall. Upon realizing the high cost of living in LA, Anthony returned to the East Coast to study acting as he had no business on a film set without formal training. He spent just shy of two years in Atlanta, taking classes and auditioning, before his then agent, Ted Borden urged him to make the big move to Manhattan to study at The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. In 1995, Anthony did just that. He lived in a NYU dorm with a student he met on his flight to New York after the living situation he had arranged prior to the move fell apart upon his arrival. The front door to the apartment that he was to be staying in had been kicked in and the tenants robbed the night before. He ended up bouncing between apartments on the Upper East and West Sides of the city. Concurrent to his studies at the LSTI, Anthony studied privately with acting coaches Michael Margotta and Geoffrey Horne. Anthony performed regularly way off Broadway in numerous black box theaters. After leaving his job at the famed, Hard Rock Cafe on 57th Street, Anthony was asked to stand-in for Sam Rockwell for 6 weeks on the Woody Allen film, Celebrity.

In LA, Anthony studied with Milton Katselas at The Beverly Hills Playhouse and with Lesly Kahn in the Hollywood Hills. Anthony found that the best training of all, was working on sets with other actors. He had the privilege of working with Academy Award Nominated actor, Edward Norton for nine years on several films as well as Academy Award and Golden Globe Winner, Billy Bob Thornton on four films as their regular stand-in. Anthony said working as a stand-in was some of the best training ever, the best part was getting paid to watch A-list actors do the work, up close and personal. Anthony gave up the stand-in work in 2007 to focus on his acting career and he has been very busy since and continues to work regularly in film and television and maintains bi-coastal representation.- Myke Holmes is an American actor known for his work on The Walking Dead (2016), House of Cards (2016) and The Longest Ride (2015).

Zach Hanner was born in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, in June of 1969 and spent his formative years growing up in nearby Pilot Mountain. After attending the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival in High Point (which featured a young Terrance Mann as Oberon in "A Midsummer Night's Dream"), he knew that the stage would be a lifelong passion. At the age of 10, he landed the lead role in the Christmas opera "Amahl and the Night Visitors" and, soon after, portrayed the role of Dill in "To Kill A Mockingbird," both shows staged at the Andy Griffith Playhouse in Mt. Airy, Griffith's hometown.
Hanner also developed a love for music, taking piano lessons, playing drums in the school band and studying voice for many years, eventually earning a spot in the esteemed choral ensemble at the North Carolina Governor's School in 1985. Having eschewed the stage for the basketball court throughout high school, he rediscovered his love for performing while attending the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. He threw himself in to theater headlong, studying with amazing professors Paul Ferguson and Randall Hill in UNC's Performance Studies department, eventually receiving his Bachelor's degree.
Following graduation, Hanner moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, in lieu of his original desired destination, Los Angeles. Wilmington proved to be a fantastic training ground for a young actor and Hanner found many like-minded friends among the town's theater community, landing roles such as Chicklet in "Psycho Beach Party," The King of Siam in "The King and I," Guildenstern in "Rosencratz and Guildenstern Are Dead," and dozens more. He became a founding member of The Comically Impaired, an improv comedy troupe that became a Wilmington stage staple.
He also began working in the region's burgeoning film industry, landing his first film role in "Forrest Gump." Originally cast as one of the teens that chase Forrest down in a pickup truck in the infamous "Run, Forrest, run!" scene, Hanner's part was cut after only one day on the set. However, two weeks later he was called back to take a one-line part as a military recruit and spent four days shooting with Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks in Beaufort, South Carolina. Though his line was cut from the final version of the film, Hanner was captivated by the machinations of the film set and knew that he would always be involved in show business.
After four years and dozens of film, television and commercials jobs, Hanner struck out for New York City, studying with filmmaker Deborah Kampmeier at Michael Howard studios and performing in off Broadway productions as well as with improv comedy troupe Post No Bills. His time in New York was very productive and inspirational but living in an expensive shoebox soon lost its luster and Hanner returned to North Carolina where he assumed the role of Music, Movies and Sports Editor for triangle.citysearch.com. Shortly after, he returned to Wilmington to be near the ocean and save on the gas money he was constantly burning up to satisfy his passion for surfing.
Back in Wilmington, Hanner continued to act in theatrical and film productions, most notably portraying country music legend Hank Williams in the play, "Hank Williams: Lost Highway." He also returned to music, teaching himself the ukulele and forming Da Howlies Hawaiian band. He added bass guitar, and banjo to his repertoire and, along with Da Howlies' bassist Seth Moody, formed The NoSeRidErS, a retro instrumental surf music act. He also plays guitar and banjo in Wilmington Irish band, The Blarney Brogues.
With 28 years in the entertainment industry, Hanner has written, produced, directed and starred in hundreds of commercials for his former employer, Advanced Metal Roofing and continues to pursue show business with the same passion that Shakespeare lit within him decades ago.- Actor

After setting foot on that set, she knew this was what she was meant to do with her life. Addy's most recognized work is on AMC's original series "The Walking Dead," cast as the Little Girl/Teddy Bear Walker in the pivotal opening scene that set the tone for the entire show. Fans of the show have raved her scene as "Best Kill", "Shock of the Week", "Zombie of the Week", and declared Addy as an "Instant Horror Legend".
Addy's most memorable on-set moments on "The Walking Dead" were receiving personal direction from the great Frank Darabont, working closely with award-winning make-up artist Greg Nicotero, talking with producer Gale Anne Hurd, and hanging with actors Andrew Lincoln and Sarah Wayne Callies. Addy is so proud of having opted to do her own stunts and doing them well. Mr. Darabont was delighted with the result! Her character was later named "Summer" in The Walking Dead Social Game on Facebook, which also served as her character's back story.
Since filming her part on "The Walking Dead", Addy has been making numerous public appearances on behalf of the show, mainly at horror and comic conventions all over the US and recently over the globe. Some of her favorite spots have been Italy and Germany. This has quickly become a favorite activity of hers and her family. Addy gets to reunite with other cast members, as well as meet the amazing Walking Dead fans!
In the Spring and Summer of 2014, Addy also shot "June" with (fellow Walking Dead cast mate) Kennedy Brice and Casper Van Dien; and she had the lead role as Luna in her first children's movie "Sugar Skull Girls". In 2015, "Dark Places" was released and Addy played as young Krissi Cates. This film stars Charlize Theron, Chloe Grace Moretz, Nicholas Hoult, Christina Hendricks, Drea DE Matteo and more. Based on a novel by Gillian Flynn, this movie hit the theaters worldwide.
Some favorite roles of Addy's include her first lead role, Mary Jane in "Death and Mary Jane", a short; "Remnants" with Tom Sizemore, Wilber Fitzgerald, Adam Minarovich, and Robert Pralgo (she played Pralgo's daughter Melissa), and "Bad Blood: The Hatfields and McCoys" as Alifair McCoy. Although it was very cold on set, she enjoyed her time in Kentucky bonding with the cast and crew. "Bad Blood" stars Christian Slater, Jeff Fahey, Perry King, and Priscilla Barnes, to name a few of the well-rounded cast.
Addy's love for acting goes beyond the roles in front of the camera. When she was young, she began requesting crew work and delved into the technical work behind the scenes. The crews were instructional, showing Addy how they did their work. When she was home, she reviewed movies and studied how the actors react to certain situations. Addy considers herself a darker actress and likes dramas and tough emotional scenes.
On a personal note, Addy attends North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. Addy is pursuing a degree in Communication with a concentration in Public Relations. She plans to add a minor in Journalism and has successfully made the Dean's List every term. Because of that accomplishment, Addy was asked to join National Honor Fraternity Phi Sigma Pi - Beta Delta, where she is the PR Chair.
Additionally, a fun fact about Addy is that her role model is Taylor Swift, whom she finally got to meet privately at a concert in 2018. Addy is often told she looks like Taylor Swift, which, of course, she loves!
Addy's film "Behind You" hit theaters and digital release both nationally and internationally in 2020. Addy spent four wonderful weeks in Salt Lake City, Utah filming. Addy plays the Lead Role of "Olivia" along side Jan Broberg and Elizabeth Birkner. Directed by Andrew Mecham and Matthew Whedon.
During Addy's senior year in college, she was lucky enough to get to work with Emma Roberts in "Abandoned", which hit theaters and digital release in 2022. This film was shot only 45 minutes away from her university and was primarily night shoots, so she was able to fit filming into her calendar. - Taran started out as an extra on One Tree Hill (2003) where he met Rachel St. Gelais. Rachel's mom convinced Taran's mom that he could be more than an extra. His first role in The Devil's Tramping Ground (2007) was very exciting and the short film won an award for Most Artistic at the Final Cut Film Festival in Wilmington, NC. He caught the bug for sure and is always ready to perform. When not on set he is on stage. Which is possible because he is home-schooled and never has to miss school. He loves to sing and has grown up at the Wilmington Community Art Center where he participates in TACT (Thalian Assoc. Children's Theater), both in workshops and shows. Taran has two older sisters, Meagan Hall and Caitlin Alexa Hall, who are also actors.
