Wi Ha-joon was born on 5 August 1991 in South Jeolla, South Korea. He is an actor, known for Squid Game (2021), Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018) and Bad and Crazy (2021).- Born to a Japanese father and an Algerian mother in Tokyo Erika had a well-off upbringing and engaged in dancing, playing piano and horseback riding. Her father owned several race tracks, which ensured her access to horses. However, her father died due to cancer while she was in junior high school, which only preceded the death of her older brother due to a car accident. Her father had abandoned the family for several years and had returned the year prior to his death. Nonetheless Erika debuted as a model while in grade six for the girls' manga magazine Ribbon She joined the ranks of Japanese 'idols' Angel Eyes in 2002 and appeared in her first TV serial, namely Hotman, in 2003. Apparently she had gotten into show business and auditioned in order to meet her idol, singer and actress Amuro Namie. By now she was also a racy gravure idol. Erika was cast in her first movie Mondai No Nai Watshitachi ('We Don't Have A Problem') in 2004 in which she was a supporting actress. A film called Pacchigi (Korean for 'Breakthrough') made her famous in 2004 and she was accorded Best Newcomer and Most Popular Actor awards at the Japan Academy ceremony. She was also the main character in the serial Ichi Litre No Namida ('One Litre Of Tears') in 2005. At this point she appeared in Taiyou No Uta ('Song Of Sun') where her character's name was Kaoru Amane, a name she made her own and used for the release of her 2006 album. She was the vocalist. In that year she was in no less than five movies. However, success proved fleeting. When on stage in theatre to promote Closed Note in 2007 she exercised her right to act according to her mood and gave curt answers to multiple questions thus earning the condemnation of the press and fans. The adoration of the masses turned into hatred. Stardust Promotion and her parted ways in 2009. She apologized one week later, but when interviewed for a TV program in 2010 claimed that it was imposed upon her by management and was insincere. She recanted. In the meantime, she had lost her planned role in the film, Space Battleship Yamato. More importantly she married producer Tsuyoshi Takashiro, 22 years her senior, in 2009, which lasted four years. Thus she ended up essentially blackballed and not having worked for 3 years. Despite that a Japanese beauty salon, called Taka No Yuri, used her in a commercial in 2010 and the seeds of a commercially beneficial redemption comeback was planted. Simultaneously Erika founded her own talent agency in Spain in 2010. She was back acting by 2012, which predictably was a success. The film was called Helter Skelter. Audiences claimed Erika was as beautiful as ever. Further on she was in a historical serial - a first for her - in 2016. In a 2017 interview she claimed she has not watched TV since 2006. Erika's oldest brother was also an actor. Sawajiri was taken into custody by Tokyo Police on 16.11.2019 for possession of the drug MMDA. She admitted to possession and chronic usage. NHK, which had contracted her for her next role, announced it would reassess her participation in the project.

Alain Fabien Maurice Marcel Delon was born in Sceaux, Hauts-de-Seine, France, to Édith (Arnold) and Fabien Delon. His father was of French and Corsican Italian descent, and his mother was of French and German ancestry. His parents divorced early on, and Delon had a stormy childhood, being frequently expelled from school.
In 1953/1954 he served with the French Marines in Indochina. In the mid-'50s he worked at various odd jobs including waiter, salesman and porter in Les Halles market. He decided to try an acting career and in 1957 made his film debut in Yves Allégret's Quand la femme s'en mêle (1957). He declined an offer of a contract from producer David O. Selznick, and in 1960 he received international recognition for his role in Luchino Visconti's Rocco and His Brothers (1960). In 1961 he appeared on the stage in "'Tis a Pity She's a Whore", directed by Visconti, in Paris. In 1964 he formed his own production company, Delbeau Productions, and he produced a short film directed by Guy Gilles. In 1968 he found himself involved in murder, drug and sex scandal that indirectly implicated major politicians and show-business personalities, but he was eventually cleared of all charges. In the late 1960s he formed another company. Adel Film, and the next year he began producing features. In 1981 he directed his first film, To Kill a Cop (1981).
Delon was a sensation early in his career; he came to embody the young, energetic, often morally corrupted man. With his breathtaking good looks he was also destined to play tender lovers and romantic heroes, and he was a French embodiment of the type created in America by James Dean. His first outstanding success came with the role of the parasite Tom Ripley in 'Rene Clement''s sun-drenched thriller Purple Noon (1960). Delon presented a psychological portrait of a murderous young cynic who attempts to take on the identity of his victim. A totally different role was offered to him by Visconti in Rocco and His Brothers (1960). In this film Delon plays the devoted Rocco, who accepts the greatest sacrifices to save his shiftless brother Simon.
After several other films in Italy, Delon returned to the criminal genre with Jean Gabin in Any Number Can Win (1963). This work, a classic example of the genre, was distinguished not only by a soundly worked-out screenplay, but also by the careful production and the excellent performances of both Delon and Gabin. It was only in the late 1960s that the sleek and lethal Delon came to epitomize the calm, psychopathic hoodlum, staring into the camera like a cat assessing a mouse. His tough, ruthless side was first used to real effect by Jean-Pierre Melville in The Samurai (1967). In 1970 he had a huge success in the bloodstained Borsalino (1970)--which he also produced--playing a small-time gangster in the 1930s who, with Jean-Paul Belmondo, becomes king of the Marseilles underworld. Delon later won critical acclaim for his roles, against type, in Joseph Losey's Mr. Klein (1976) in which he played (brilliantly) the icily sinister title role, and the art-movie Swann in Love (1984). He has an older son Anthony Delon (who has also acted in a number of movies) from his first marriage to Nathalie Delon, and has a young son and daughter, Alain-Fabien and Anouchka with Rosalie.- Miriam Giovanelli was born on 28 April 1989 in Rome, Lazio, Italy. She is an actress, known for Limoncello (2007), Gavilanes (2010) and Dracula 3D (2012). She has been married to Xabi Ortega since 23 September 2017. They have one child.
- Amy Yasbeck was born on 12 September 1962 in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. She is an actress, known for The Mask (1994), Pretty Woman (1990) and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993). She was previously married to John Ritter.
