Abud Kadid is Armenian Catholic. His last name used to be "Kadidian", but when his great-grand-father ran away from Turkey and immigrated to Syria after the 1915 Armenian Genocide, the name was changed to "Kadid". Aleppo (Syria) is a known city for hosting an important Armenian population (250,000).
Abud started acting in summer 1994. He wanted to be an actor since he was eighteen. Friends at work were telling him that he was naturally funny just by being myself.
This made him research and ask around for advises in what would be the next step. Entering that craft, he followed improvisation classes for a year.
Then, he wanted to improve his acting so he took a Shakespeare class with the opportunity to perform "King Henry The Fifth". The direct contact with a theater audience made him feel so much "alive" and, performing live, a drug that would be difficult to live without.
At that time, he wasn't yet convinced he could have the artistic freedom to be able to move and touch people as he wanted. So he went back to acting classes at the Actor's Studio Montreal (ASM). There, he developed his improvisation skills and abilities to analyze a script.
When leaving ASM, he was absolutely impatient make acting a daily basis reality. That is when he started to participate in student films. One of his funniest performances was to play a monk obsessed with "Ping Pong Balls" in the short of the same title.
He also thought that joining a school of performing arts would help him getting more leading parts... which it did. One of the most important experiences was while working on a movie, and during the break time, he performed a run through that moved one of the actresses to the point that she cried. That unexpected emotion convinced him that acting will always be part of his life.
That actress referred him to an independent theater producer and director, Iain Stoen, that was putting together a theater play, "Family Manor". "Family Manor" has received T.V. and newspaper coverage.
Meanwhile he also auditioned in NYC for the ABC show "All My Children". He managed out of 2150 audition competitors to be in the fifty Last actors to be selected. The last noticeable experience was in a drama called "The Tenants", based on a Broadway play.- Abdulelah Al-Amri was born on 15 January 1997 in Ta'if, Saudi Arabia.

- Aeryck Mykel Arayuss was born in Thessaloniki, Greece on January 15th, 1989. He is the only child of Nikolaus Arayuss and Laurynda Maropulos. Aeryck's father traveled throughout Europe taking him along to learn what it was like to live in the other countries, as well as learn to speak the languages. Aeryck became fluent in English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French, German, and of course his native language, Greek. In 1995, Aeryck and his parents moved to the United States and settled in Southern California. It was just a few years before his father missed working with his family in Greece and he returned in 1999. On March 13th, 2001 Aeryck's father was killed in a terrible accident in the warehouse in Athens, a business that Nikolaus' family owned and operated for generations. Aeryck and his mother continued on as best they could and in doing so he expressed an interest in acting/modeling. Teaming him up with a manager that could get him to his auditions, he was in several print ads and even a few commercials that played nationally. Aeryck has also performed in stage productions throughout Los Angeles, a few of them being musicals from Broadway. Unfortunately a gap had grown between him and his mother and it was no longer pleasant for them to remain together. At the age of 12, his manager became his legal guardian and they have been together ever since. On June 20th, 2006, Aeryck's mother passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage while vacationing. He was informed by her side of the family not to attend her funeral or memorial services.
Aeryck still has an interest in acting, but is also interested in being a pilot and is planning to attend a flight school as soon as he can convince his guardian that it's not a phase and that he will actually go through with it till the end. It's obvious to those around Aeryck that he will do great in whatever he decides to pursue. It's just a matter of it keeping his attention long enough to achieve the goal he set out for. - Actress

- Born in Moscow, Griboyedov studied at Moscow University from 1810 to 1812. He then obtained a commission in a hussar regiment, which he resigned in 1816. The next year, he entered the civil service. In 1818 he was appointed secretary of the Russian legation in Persia, and transferred to Georgia.
His verse comedy The Young Spouses, which he staged in St.Petersburg in 1816, was followed by other similar works. Neither these nor his essays and poetry would have been long remembered but for the success of his verse comedy Woe from Wit, a satire on Russian aristocratic society.
As a high official in the play puts it, this work is "a pasquinade on Moscow". The play depicts certain social and official stereotypes in the characters of Famusov, who hates reform; his secretary, Molchalin, who fawns over officials; and the aristocratic young liberal and Anglomaniac, Repetilov. By contrast the hero of the piece, Chatsky, an ironic satirist just returned from western Europe, exposes and ridicules the weaknesses of the rest. His words echo the outcry of the young generation in the lead-up to the armed insurrection of 1825.
In Russia for the summer of 1823, Griboyedov completed the play and took it to St. Petersburg. It was rejected by the censors. Many copies were made and privately circulated, but Griboyedov never saw it published. After his death manuscript was jointly owned by his wife Nina Alexandrovna Griboyedova and his sister Maria Sergeyevna Durnovo (Griboyedova). The first edition was printed in 1833, four years after his death.Only once did he see it on the stage, when it was performed by the officers of the garrison at Yerevan. Soured by disappointment, he returned to Georgia. He put his linguistic expertise at the service of general Ivan Paskevich, a relative, during the Russo-Persian War of 1826-1828, after which he was sent to St. Petersburg at the time of the Treaty of Turkmenchay. There, thinking to devote himself to literature, he started work on a romantic drama, A Georgian Night.
Several months after his wedding to Nino, the 16-year-old daughter of his friend Prince Chavchavadze, Griboyedov was suddenly sent to Persia as Minister Plenipotentiary. In the aftermath of the war and the humiliating Treaty of Turkmenchay, there was strong anti-Russian sentiment in Persia. Soon after Griboyedov's arrival in Tehran, a mob stormed the Russian embassy.
The incident began when an Armenian eunuch escaped from the harem of Persian shah, and two Armenian women escaped from that of his son-in-law. All three sought refuge at the Russian legation. As agreed in the Treaty of Turkmenchay, Georgians and Armenians living in Persia were permitted to return to Georgia and Eastern Armenia. However, the Shah demanded that Griboyedov return the three. Griboyedov refused. This caused an uproar throughout the city and several thousand Persians encircled the Russian compound demanding their release.
Griboyedov then decided to offer to return the escaped eunuch and Armenian women. But it was too late. Moments later, urged on by the mullahs, the mob stormed the building." A high ranking Muslim scholar with the title of Mojtahed, Mirza Masih Astarabadi known as Mirza Masih Mojtahed, issued a fatwa saying freeing Muslim women from the claws of unbelievers is allowed.
Griboyedov's body, thrown from a window, was decapitated by a kebab vendor who displayed the head on his stall. The mob dragged the uniformed corpse through the city's streets and bazaars, to cries of celebration. It was eventually abandoned on a garbage heap after three days of ill-treatment by the mob, such that in the end it could be identified only by a duelling injury to a finger. Griboyedov was buried there, in the monastery of St David (Mtatsminda Pantheon). - Director
