The director and actor Andre Gregory was born on May 11, 1934, to a family he describes as fugitives from Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany. Gregory was born in a hotel in Paris, his mother reportedly having just played cards with the Turkish ambassador. His childhood was spent in Hollywood amongst the stars of the 1940s. Gregory attended Harvard and then studied acting, but was unable to find his feet in that profession. Theatrical success finally came to Gregory as a director in the avant-garde theater in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and New York. By the late 1960s he had established himself as a prominent director in New York experimental theater, collaborating with such luminaries as the legendary Polish director Jerzy Grotowski. Probably the most remarkable achievement in this early summit of Gregory's career came in 1970 when his theater group, The Manhattan Project, staged "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in New York for a year, which then went on to tour the world to acclaim, and earned him OBIE and Drama Desk Awards for his directing.
In the early 1970s, Gregory underwent an existential crisis in his life and work which essentially brought this successful career to a halt. Five years later, as he began to emerge from a period of doubt and introspection, he met with and shared his many recent experiences -- all unique, some even bizarre -- with a friend, the actor and writer Wallace Shawn. (Gregory had met Shawn when Shawn famously attended every performance of Gregory's 1970 "Alice in Wonderland" staging.) Shawn was impressed by Gregory's humane, articulate way of relating this painful time in his life, and saw the potential for humor in the huge personality difference between the two friends, and suggested that the couple consider staging these discussions as a movie. The result, in collaboration with director Louis Malle, was My Dinner with Andre (1981), one of the most unique, touching, and funny movie-going experiences in modern cinema.
The success of "My Dinner with Andre" marked the end of Gregory's hibernation, and he returned to directing plays in his extremely slow and deliberate way - Gregory often works with the cast of a play for a year or longer before taking the play to an audience. Remarkably, the exposure "My Dinner with Andre" gave him resulted, finally, in the acting career which eluded him so long ago, and has since led to roles in such films as The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) and The Mosquito Coast (1986) as well as acting work on Broadway. Gregory's work with an acting troupe on the play "Uncle Vanya" in a decaying theater in Times Square was brought to the screen in Vanya on 42nd Street (1994), also directed by Malle (it would be his last film). Ironically, one of Gregory's first roles after "My Dinner with Andre" brought him back to _Alice in Wonderland (1983) (TV)_, this time as an actor, in a production for PBS.
A lifelong progressive, Gregory has increasingly devoted his time to political causes. Gregory was married to the prominent New York filmmaker and theater producer Mercedes (Chiquita) Gregory for many years. Mercedes passed away, and Gregory recently married filmmaker Cindy Kleine. Gregory and Kleine now live on Cape Cod.- Actor

Ben Bledsoe spent most of his young life performing. As a child living in California he was a child model and also acted in several commercials throughout the late 80s and early 90s. In his teen years his parents moved him to Longwood, Florida a suburb of Orlando, Florida where he met future band mate Marc Terenzi. At the age of 16 he helped formed the band "Natural" with fellow members Patrick King, Michael Johnson, and later Michael 'J' Horn.
After his move to Florida, Ben did whatever acting was available to him in Orlando including episodes of "Kenan and Kel" and "The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo," as well as countless commercials for companies like Disney, Drug Free America, KFC, etc. After meeting Marc Terenzi, Ben decided to change careers and start a band. He had always sung and played multiple instruments such as the bass and saxophone, but had never been interested in music as a career until he really found some musicians he clicked with.
The band named 'Natural' was a mix between rock and Pop. Although were a full band when performing live, they also would perform a cappella renditions at local venues as an easier way to promote themselves. The idea worked; their first show at the House of Blues in Orlando, FL completely sold out.
After that success they met with a top of his game pop producer named Veit Renn who had written and produced songs for other acts such as the Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and Britney Spears. He signed them immediately and started recording new music right away. Natural obtained a huge local following in Orlando, FL but wanted to stretch out. So Veit, being German decided to send them on a promotional tour of Germany. This was the first major step to their success.
One day as they rehearsed at Transcon Studios in Orlando, boyband svengali Lou Pearlman noticed them and liked their act. A stroke of luck would happen when Lou happened to see them perform at the German Festival "Popkomm" in Cologne, Germany. He was there promoting another act, and something in him knew he needed this act when he saw the crowd of almost 150,000 fans going crazy for 'Natural'. Very soon after they were signed with Transcontinental Records.
Lou Pearlman spared no expense and promoted the guys first single with Claire's and a tour with the Monkees, traveling via Private Jet and Tour Bus. The first single "Put Your Arms Around Me" became RIAA-certified Gold, and reached the Billboard Sales Chart Position of #8.
Soon thereafter, 'Natural' was signed as the top project of BMG International based in Munich, Germany. The band immediately started touring in The Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, England, Scotland, Italy, Spain, France, and Sweden to conquer little girl's hearts. They had much success with such hits as "Put Your Arms Around Me", "Will It Ever", "Runaway", "Let Me Just Fly", "What If", and the Sarah Connor number-one hit "Just One Last Dance", on which they were featured.
In the summer of 2003 Marc Terenzi's girlfriend Sarah Connor became pregnant. Lou Pearlman wasn't happy with the news and wanted Marc kicked out of Natural and replaced with someone new. Ben and the other members (except Patrick King) were not thrilled with this and decided to break Natural up. They finished the tour and Ben was left to a new phase in his career.
"Natural" finished their last tour in Europe and Asia in September of 2004. Ben, being one of the main songwriters in the band, started writing new music right away with band members Marc Terenzi and Michael Johnson. After a few months, Ben realized that if he wanted to write music professionally, he'd have to be able to play more than just the bass and saxophone. So he "locked himself" in his studio for 3 months and taught himself guitar and piano. His style of playing was a bit unique, and he started writing songs that were extremely close to him (some concerning a recent break-up) and wanted to start recording what was to be his new solo album.
Ben's new songs were a new brand of pop and rock: he wrote all of the songs himself, and played the guitar and piano (as well as other instruments) in most of the recordings and performances. Soon Ben had enough songs for a CD which he named 'An Insomniac's Guide to a Lonely Heart' due to his lack of sleep while creating the album, and the first song he wrote for it entitled 'Lonely Heart'.
He began touring in Florida and New York and continued with Seventeen Magazine's national 'Rock your Prom tour' in 2005, Radio Disney Tours in the U.S., and multiple tours in Europe, including Hard Rock Cafe's "Rocktober" tour which is a charity tour to raise money for Breast Cancer Research.
He released 'An Insomniac's Guide to a Lonely Heart' on his own record label '44th Floor Records'. Although he claims to have not expected much from the release, it flew to the top of the charts everywhere he released it. It was #1 on Amazon.com for exports to Germany, and was in the top 5% of sales overall. It was simultaneously #1 and #2 on Awarestore.com beating out Aware's own artists such as 'John Mayer', 'Five for Fighting', and Wheatus.
The first single release was the tongue and cheek song "Boyfriend". He currently is working on new music in L.A. with the producers from High School Musical.
As a child Ben acted in several commercials and TV shows. One example is a Guest-Starring role as Nolan Snope on the Nickelodeon TV series The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo in 1997. While in Natural, he decided put acting on hold and focus completely on music.
After the release of his solo album Ben sought to do more acting. He has also had call backs for Broadway shows such as Hairspray and Crybaby. He has been studying at Groundlings and the Lesley Kahn School of Acting and recently had a role on the TV show 'House'.- Son of a nurse and a bank employee, Benoît Magimel was born in Paris and grew up there. At age 12, he played Momo in Life Is a Long Quiet River (1988) by Étienne Chatiliez. He stopped his studies at age 16 to become an actor.
But he had a dual personality: on one hand the man of low budget films like A Single Girl (1995), A Minute of Silence (1998), Le roi danse (2000), Déjà mort (1998), Thieves (1996), To Matthieu (2000) alongside Nathalie Baye, The Flower of Evil (2003), Errance (2003), Children of the Century (1999) with Juliette Binoche, The Bridesmaid (2004) with Laura Smet, The Piano Teacher (2001) alongside Isabelle Huppert, and on the other hand also wide audience releases like The Nest (2002), Crimson Rivers 2: Angels of the Apocalypse (2004), Trouble (2005), Strange Gardens (2003), and Sky Fighters (2005).
Charming, ambiguous, talented Benoit Magimel will probably illuminate the next decade, and more. - Actor

Endearing, bushy-whiskered Welsh character actor whose screen repertoire seemed to consist for the better part of variations on a similar theme, namely stereotypical stiff-upper-lip or bumbling British gents. The son of an actress and an actor-manager and on stage from early childhood, Fox began his career in repertory theatre. During the last two years of World War II he served on a minesweeper in the Royal Navy. In 1952, he joined the ensemble of Brian Rix's Whitehall Farces as one of the 'Reluctant Heroes' and the 'Simple Spymen'. Buoyed by popular success, he probably developed his stock-in-trade character around this time. Following a stint on the London stage, Fox then landed several small roles in British films and co-starred for the BBC in the short-lived comedy series Three Live Wires (1961). The show's American producer promised him a shot at Hollywood and the actor and his wife promptly moved to Los Angeles. In 1962, Fox made his American stage debut at the Civic Playhouse in the three-act mystery play "Write Me a Murder" by Frederick Knott. The following year he appeared as a blundering waiter in The Danny Thomas Show (1953).
During the 1960's he became a familiar face on television, staking his particular claim to comedy relief fame as the cranky warlock physician Dr. Bombay in Bewitched (1964) (a character he declared was based on a naval officer with whom he served during the war) and as the buffoonish Colonel Rodney Crittenden in Hogan's Heroes (1965) (who was hopefully not based on anyone). He was also a Dr. Watson to Stewart Granger's Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles (1972), striding a kind of middle ground between the Watson of Nigel Bruce and that of Edward Hardwicke. His many guest roles as assorted 'visiting' English officers included, among others, 12 O'Clock High (1964), The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964), Columbo (1971) and M*A*S*H (1972). More recently, he appeared as Archibald Gracie IV, survivor (albeit briefly) of the sinking of the Titanic (1997) and as the unflappable aviator Winston Havelock going off to his last 'tally-ho' in The Mummy (1999). His ongoing commitment to theatrical work led to engagements in Canada with Stage West, in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and starring on Broadway in a 1978 production of "3 Rue de L'Amour" with Louis Jourdan and Kathleen Freeman.
In private life, Fox was renowned as an expert theatre historian. He was reputedly a keen gardener, a painter of landscapes and a devotee of performing magic.- Additional Crew

Callum Kerr was born on 11 May 1994 in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. He is an actor, known for Monarch (2022), Flowers in the Attic: The Origin (2022) and Hollyoaks (1995).- Spanish novelista of post-Civil War period who, with his first and most popular novel, 'La familia de Pascual Duarte' (1942) established the narrative style known as tremendismo, a tendency to emphasize violence and grotesque imagery. His literary production -primarily novels, short narratives, and travel diaries- is characterized more by sketches, details and verbal innovations than by plot or character development. Cela's acute powers of observation and skill in colourful description are apparent in his travel books, based upon walking trips through rural Spain and his visits to Latin-American countries. He was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1989 "for a rich and intensive prose, which with restrained compassion forms a challenging vision of man's vulnerability".

Coi Leray Collins (Boston, Massachusetts; May 11, 1997), known simply as Coi Leray, is an American rapper and singer. She grew up in Hackensack, New Jersey. She is the daughter of rapper and media mogul Benzino and has five siblings. Leray's parents divorced after her father left The Source. She began making music at the age of 14 and at 16, Leray dropped out of high school and began working in sales.
She began releasing music on SoundCloud and released her single "Huddy", along with her debut mix-tape Everythingcoz in 2018. After signing a record deal with 1801 Records and Republic Records, Leray released her second mix-tape, EC2 (2019), and her debut EP, Now or Never (2020). In 2021, the Lil Durk -assisted remix of his single, Coi Leray Feat. Lil Durk: No More Parties (Remix) (2021), reached the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was certified platinum by the RIAA.
Coi has remained a force within hip-hop with her sharp flow, slick delivery, and catchy hooks. She has contributed to the meteoric rise of women in hip-hop.
The past few years have been a whirlwind for Coi. The Boston-born and New Jersey raised star first cracked the Top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100 at the start of 2021 with her RIAA Certified Platinum hit single "No More Parties," making her late-night television debut by performing the track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. And it's been up ever since. By the Spring of '21, Coi graced the cover of XXL Magazine as part of their coveted Freshman class, racking up award nominations everywhere-from Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist at the 2021 American Music Awards to Best Female Hip-Hop Artist and Best New Artist at the 2021 BET Awards.
In 2022 as Coi enters the next stage in her career with the release of her long-awaited debut album TRENDSETTER-armed with her latest single Coi Leray & Nicki Minaj: Blick Blick! (2022) featuring Nicki Minaj-Coi maintains her brand of pure vibes and artistry, mixed with commercial appeal. Coi Leray: Twinnem (2021) was the target of a huge viralization on the video sharing platform Tik Tok. She was nominated for a TikTok Bop of the Year and even debuting at Number 2 on Billboard's Top Triller U.S. charts. She followed with the early 2022 release of Coi Leray: Anxiety (2022) which is already making its impact in a major way. Coi has tapped into multiple parts of the entertainment industry, with her own cooking show Cooking with Coi Leray (2021) to being the face of Kim Kardashian's SKIMS "Cozy Collection" campaign. She is setting trends in every way possible, which has culminated in finally dropping her full-length project. Over one billion streams later, Coi Leray is geared for the release of TRENDSETTER.
Coi's become a trailblazer for melodic rap, though she really pushes her bars to the limit on songs like "Box and Papers" with Chief Keef and "Mission Impossible" with Lil Tecca. It's here that we remember the girl with the spitfire flow.
With every track and every new venture, Coi has proven her star power-and she's still just getting warmed up. "I hope the fans really understand what a really versatile artist is and what a real star is," she says of matter-of-factly. "Don't put me in a box. You may see me dancing or doing TikToks, but the truth of the matter is, I can do it all."- Actor

Both Ireland and Macdonald immigrated from Vancouver in their late teens to take on the task of creating the festival, and opening a first run art theatre, The Egyptian. During his tenure he was responsible for co-booking the prolific World Premieres the festival launched, including Joel and Ethan Coen's 'Blood Simple', Richard Rush's 'The Stuntman', Irwin Kirshner's 'The Empire Strikes Back', Ridley Scott's 'Alien', Tobe Hooper's 'Poltergeist', Marek Kanevska's 'Another Country', Carl Franklin's 'One False Move', and the American Premieres of George Miller's 'The Road Warrior', Alan Rudolph's 'Choose Me', Hector Babanco's 'Kiss Of The Spider Woman', Akira Kurosawa's 'Ran', Paul Verhoeven's 'Soldier of Orange', 'Spetters' and 'The Fourth Man.' In 1983 Ireland was awarded the coveted Golden Calf Award (the Dutch equivalent to the Academy Award) for his contribution to advancing Dutch Films in the United States. His friendship with director Verhoeven helped save the distribution in America for the director's breakthrough US film, the World War II saga, 'Soldier of Orange.'
In 1986, Ireland moved to Los Angeles to become the head of Film Acquisition for Vestron Pictures. During his three years tenure he Executive Produced (or spearheaded) such projects as John Huston's final film, 'The Dead', Bernard Rose's 'Paperhouse', and three of Ken Russell's best films of the 80's, 'Salome's Last Dance', 'Lair Of The White Worm', and D.H.

After leaving Vestron Pictures, Ireland produced (with Ronaldo Vasconcellos) another film for director Ken Russell, Whore, starring Theresa Russell, and The Crew, for director Carl Colpaert at Cineville. In 1995, Ireland made the transition from producer to director with his critically acclaimed powerful film debut (Sundance 1996), 'The Whole Wide World', starring Vincent D'Onofrio and Renee Zellweger. It was her captivating performance in this film that caught the eye of producer James L. Brooks and director Cameron Crowe and launched Zellweger into the lead role opposite Tom Cruise in Crowe's 'Jerry Maguire.' 'The Whole Wide World' was awarded Best New American Film of The Seattle International Film Festival (1996), and won it's actor Vincent D'Onofrio Best Actor for his superb portrayal of Robert E. Howard, legendary author of Conan The Barbarian, and Best Actress for Zellweger at the Mar del Plata Film Festival (1996).
Over the past twenty years, Ireland's films include 'The Velocity Of Gary' (1998), 'Passionada' (2003), 'Mrs. Palfrey At The Claremont' (Audience Award Winner Best Film, Palm Springs International Film Festival, Newport Beach International Film Festival) (2006), and EL Doctorow's Jolene, starring actress Jessica Chastain in a dynamic debut performance which launched her career.
Ireland worked with Zellweger again on her entree into Executive Producing, 'Living Proof', the true story of oncologist Dr. Dennis Slamon who helped discover the Cancer drug Herceptin. The film was also produced by legendary producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan.
Ireland directed two short films, 'Hate From A Distance' (2014) the story of racism as seen through the eyes of a child, made for the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act; and 'A Most Peculiar Man' (2015) starring legendary stage actor Alan Mandel, about the friendship of an elderly Holocaust survivor and a young man on the verge of suicide.
Ireland's next film 'Life Briefly' (2016) is the ambitious, powerful true saga of Brian Knapp, a young man who had to overcome his blindness to become a world class drummer by the age of ten; eventually to become a guitar player who performed with Johnny Cash on stage seven times before his untimely passing at age fourteen. Ireland describes the film as the most significant of his career, and one that is challenging for all the right reasons. The film starts Bill Paxton, Ashley Judd and young actor Ty Simkins. With cameos by Chazz Palminteri as Buddy Rich and Mark Collie as Johnny Cash.

A rather wanderlust fellow before he latched onto acting, Denver Pyle--who made a career of playing drawling, somewhat slow Southern types--was actually born in Colorado in 1920, to a farming family. He attended a university for a time but dropped out to become a drummer. When that didn't pan out he drifted from job to job, doing everything from working the oil fields in Oklahoma to the shrimp boats in Texas. In 1940 he moseyed off to Los Angeles and briefly found employment as a (somewhat unlikely) NBC page. That particular career was interrupted by World War II, and Pyle enlisted in the navy. Wounded in the battle of Guadalcanal, he received a medical discharge in 1943. Working for an aircraft plant in Los Angeles as a riveter, the rangy actor was introduced to the entertainment field after receiving a role in an amateur theater production and getting spotted by a talent scout. Training with such renowned teachers as Maria Ouspenskaya and Michael Chekhov, he made his film debut in The Guilt of Janet Ames (1947). Pyle went on to roles in hundreds of film and TV parts, bringing a touch of Western authenticity to many of his roles. A minor villain or sidekick in the early 1950s, he often received no billing. Prematurely white-haired (a family trait), he became a familiar face on episodes of Gunsmoke (1955) and Bonanza (1959) and also developed a close association with actor John Wayne, appearing in many of Wayne's later films, including The Horse Soldiers (1959), The Alamo (1960), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) and Cahill U.S. Marshal (1973). Pyle's more important movie roles came late in his career. One of his most memorable was in Bonnie and Clyde (1967) as Texas Ranger Frank Hamer, the handcuffed hostage of the duo, who spits in Bonnie's (Faye Dunaway) face after she coyly poses with him for a camera shot. He settled easily into hillbilly/mountain men types in his later years and became a household face for his crotchety presence in The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (1977) and, especially, The Dukes of Hazzard (1979). He died of lung cancer at age 77.- Actress

She was previously married to Stephen Wayda.- Tall, hulking character actor Dick Curtis spent years at Columbia Pictures menacing everyone from cowboy star Charles Starrett to the slapstick team of The Three Stooges. Curtis, unlike many movie villains, showed a genuine flair for comedy--especially physical comedy--in his many appearances in the studio's two-reelers and could do a double-take, a pratfall, take a pie in the face, a finger-poke to the eyes or a crowbar on the top of the head with the best of them. Although much of his career was spent at Columbia, where he specialized in western villains, he can also be seen as one of the crewmen who set out to rescue Fay Wray from the clutches of the giant ape in the original King Kong (1933).
He died in Hollywood of pneumonia in 1952. - Dick Leitsch was born on 11 May 1935 in Louisville, Kentucky, USA. He died on 22 June 2018 in Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA.

In 1909, he was hired as a staff lyricist by the Ted Snyder Company, and became a partner to that firm four years later.
In 1910, he began doing vaudeville appearances in the United States and abroad, and also appeared with Snyder in the Broadway musical "Up and Down Broadway", that ran for 72 performances. He joined ASCAP as a charter member in 1914, and served on its first board of directors between 1914-1918. Berlin enlisted the United States Army infantry in World War I, and was a sergeant at Camp Upton, New York. After the war, he established his own public-relations firm, and in 1921, he built the 1025-seat Music Box Theatre (at 239 W. 45th Street, New York) with Sam H. Harris. After Harris' death in 1941, Berlin assumed full ownership and the theatre remains a Broadway institution to this day.
Among his many awards was the Medal for Merit for his 1942 all-soldier show "This Is the Army", which toured the United States, Europe and South Pacific battle zones; all proceeds were assigned to Army Emergency Relief and other service agencies. Berlin was also a member of the French Legion of Honor and held the Congressional Medal of Honor for "God Bless America", the proceeds from which went to the God Bless America Fund. His songs were sung by Fred Astaire, Al Jolson, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Dick Powell, Alice Faye and many others.

Jeffrey Donovan was born in Amesbury, Massachusetts, son to single mother Nancy Matthews. Nancy raised him and two of his brothers, while having trouble financially supporting herself and her family. They were reportedly living on welfare, had trouble paying electric bills, and often moved to a new residence. Donovan estimated that they moved 10 times during his childhood. He and his brothers were taught to live frugally.
A female teacher called Patricia Hoyt served as Donovan's mentor and helped him establish a drama club. With her help, Donovan received a private scholarship that allowed him to continue his studies. Donovan started his college years in Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. He later transferred to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, from where he eventually graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in drama. He continued his studies at the Tisch School of the Arts in New York City, from where he graduated with a Master of Fine Arts.
During his college years, Donovan took an interest in martial arts. He initially took lessons in Shotokan karate, where he eventually earned a black belt. He later also took lessons in aikido and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Donovan had his first film and television roles in 1995, but he mostly played minor parts. His first major role on television was main character David Creegan in the crime drama series Touching Evil (2004). The premise of the series was that Keegan is an FBI investigator who was stripped of his impulse control and sense of shame following a near-fatal injury. He was willing to do anything to stop ruthless criminals, including performing vigilante-style crimes of his own. The series only lasted a single season of 12 episodes.
Donovan gained another lead role in the action series Burn Notice (2007), where he played main character Michael Westen. The premise of the series was that Westen used to be a professional intelligence agent until he was inexplicably blacklisted, stripped of his money and contacts, and forced to remain in his hometown of Miami, Florida until further notice. The series had him working as an unlicensed private investigator, while covertly investigating who orchestrated his downfall. The series lasted for 111 episodes, and also included a spin-off film called Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe (2011). Donovan directed the film, but was not among its main cast.
Donovan had a recurring role as mobster Dodd Gerhardt in the second season of anthology series Fargo (2014). The season is set in 1979, Midwestern United States.

Johan Heldenbergh (55) grew up in Gent (Belgium) dreaming of being a movie director and actor, but he was converted to theatre in the late eighties, during his education in the prestigious Studio Herman Teirlinck acting school in Antwerp. The fact that Flanders didn't have a real, or interesting movie and television culture at the time and the freedom he found as a theatre actor, persuaded him to follow that path, enjoying the independence and creativity contemporary Flemish theatre had to offer. He worked as an actor for Alain Platel, Luc Perceval, Raven Ruell, Arne Sierens.a.o.
He started writing and directing in 2001. In 2005 he founded "Compagnie Cecilia" together with Arne Sierens and Marijke Pinoy. His plays "Massis the musical" and especially "The Broken circle breakdown" have become landmarks in Flemish theatre history. His major themes are suicide, political, social, and religious commentaries.
His true vocation has always been cinema, but it wasn't until he met Felix Van Groeningen for his first movie "Steve and Skye", that he started to consider engaging himself in Belgian cinema, and combining the two, playing a character in a movie every summer. His collaboration with Felix Van Groeningen continued for "De helaasheid der dingen/La merditude des choses", that was selected for "La quinzaine des realisateurs" in Cannes, and especially for the adaptation of his own play "The Broken Circle Breakdown/Alabama Monroe" that received an Oscar nomination, a EFA nomination, and the Cesar for best foreign language in 2014.
Since then he is a regular actor in French and international movies and television series. He starred with Jessica Chastain in "The zookeepers wife" (2017), with Hilary Swank and Helena Bonham Carter in "55 Steps" and with Jesse Eisenberg and Alexander Skarsgard in "The hummingbird project". He played "Kolonel Karremans" in "Quo Vadis Aida" which was nominated in 2021.
In 2009 he started a community project in the village where he lived for 13 years. 600 nonprofessionals collaborated on a movie he wrote and directed, called "Schellebelle 1919". Although the priority has always been on the social aspect of the project, the movie succeeded in getting a professional distribution, and got the first "Ensor for special merit" the flemish academy issued every year since then.
He plays the five-string banjo, mandolin, and acoustic guitar. He tapdances and has four children.- Producer

He is the younger brother of actor/singer Richard Lee Jackson and Candice E. Jackson. His ancestry includes English, German, Finnish, Scottish, and Scandinavian (Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish).
Jackson's family moved to Washington state when he was very young. Jonathan gave serious thought to an acting career following a family visit to Universal Studios Hollywood in 1991. His parents decided to let their sons try their luck in acting for 6 months, and so Jonathan and Richard moved down to Los Angeles with their mother while their father stayed back in Washington with Candice. Soon after, Jonathan landed a Corn Pops commercial. He had a few commercials under his belt before he was chosen, from several hundred young hopefuls, for the sought-after role of Luke and Laura's son, "Lucky Spencer", on the series General Hospital (1963). His first air date was October 29, 1993. He stayed on the soap opera for 6 years as the original "Lucky", garnering 6 Daytime Emmy nominations and 3 Daytime Emmys for Younger Actor along the way. While shooting the soap, Jackson also made 5 movies. His film debut was with Christopher Lloyd in 1994's Camp Nowhere (1994). He also made two TV movies, The Legend of the Ruby Silver (1996) and The Prisoner of Zenda, Inc. (1996) in 1996.
In 1997, he took time from the soap to shoot what would become his breakthrough film role as Michelle Pfeiffer's troubled son "Vincent Cappadora" in The Deep End of the Ocean (1999). In 1998, he filmed several episodes for the ABC series Boy Meets World (1993). In 1999, he again took a short break from GH to film a supporting role in the independent film True Rights (2000). After leaving the soap in 1999, Jackson was cast in a variety of films. At one point, he was considered the favorite to play "Anakin Skywalker" in the Star Wars films. He has played son to Sissy Spacek, William Hurt, Treat Williams, JoBeth Williams, Barbara Hershey and Judy Davis, and romantic interest to Alexis Bledel, Carly Pope, Erika Christensen, Romola Garai and Agnes Bruckner.

Born Louis William Weiss on May 11, 1907, Kent Taylor was a modestly popular "B" actor of the 1930's and 1940's. The tall, dark and handsome leading man who sported rugged looks, a slick, pencil-thin mustache and solid physique, was star material with the potential and durability of Clark Gable and Errol Flynn, but lacked their consistent leading man quality and charisma. An avid outdoorsman, Taylor churned out over 110 films during his lengthy career, appearing in a number of quality "A" pictures as a second lead.
Born just southeast of Nashua, Iowa, he was a son of farmers. As a teenager, he performed in several high school plays. The family then moved to Waterloo, Iowa, where he worked as a window trimmer in a ladies' clothing shop. After a brief move to Chicago, the family relocated to Los Angeles, where he and his father started an awning company. Taylor pursued acting as a profession after being introduced to director Henry King. After an unbilled debut in The Magnificent Lie (1931), he apprenticed for a couple of years in bit parts. He peaked in the 1930's with prominent support roles in Merrily We Go to Hell (1932) with Fredric March and Sylvia Sidney, I'm No Angel (1933), as one of Mae West's earnest pursuers, the classic Death Takes a Holiday (1934), (again with Fredric March), the Will Rogers vehicles David Harum (1934) and The County Chairman (1935), and Ramona (1936), (directed by his old friend, Henry King), top-lining Loretta Young and Don Ameche.
Taylor then starred in a modest succession of "B" programs with Love in a Bungalow (1937), Pirates of the Skies (1939), Repent at Leisure (1941), Mississippi Gambler (1942), Alaska (1944), The Crimson Key (1947) and The Sickle or the Cross (1949) which, at the very least, kept him busy and in the public eye. More noticeable during this period was his portrayal of Doc Holiday in Tombstone: The Town Too Tough to Die (1942), opposite Richard Dix's Wyatt Earp.
With his film career on the decline, Taylor turned more and more to TV, becoming the medium's Boston Blackie (1951) for a couple of seasons, a role that followed in the popular footsteps of Chester Morris, (who starred in an earlier series of Boston Blackie films as the urbane master thief-cum-detective), followed with a lead in the series The Rough Riders (1958). Taylor was a frequent visitor on the sets of popular western series, including Zorro (1957), Laramie (1959), The Rifleman (1958) and Rango (1967). Toward the end of his career, however, the elderly actor took a bizarre John Carradine-like turn into Grade "Z" projects. Some of them--including horror movies like The Crawling Hand (1963), Brides of Blood (1968), Satan's Sadists (1969), Hell's Bloody Devils (1970), Blood of Ghastly Horror (1967) and Girls for Rent (1974)--achieved cult infamy as some of Hollywood's most notorious "turkeys." Following a series of heart operations, Taylor died at the age of 79.
