50 Cent (Curtis James Jackson) is an American rapper, actor, producer, and entrepreneur.
He began a musical career and in 2000 he produced Power of the Dollar for Columbia Records, but days before the planned release he was shot and the album was never released. In 2002, after Jackson released the compilation album Guess Who's Back?, he was discovered by Eminem and signed to Shady Records, under the aegis of Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.
With the help of Eminem and Dr. Dre (who produced his first major-label album, Get Rich or Die Tryin'), Jackson became one of the world's best selling rappers and rose to prominence with East Coast hip hop group G-Unit (which he leads de facto). In 2003, he founded G-Unit Records, signing his G-Unit associates Young Buck, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. Jackson had similar commercial and critical success with his second album, The Massacre, which was released in 2005. He released his fifth studio album, Animal Ambition, in 2014 and as of 2019 is working on his sixth studio album, Street King Immortal.
During his career Jackson has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and won several awards, including a Grammy Award, thirteen Billboard Music Awards, six World Music Awards, three American Music Awards and four BET Awards. He has pursued an acting career, appearing in the semi-autobiographical film Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005), the Iraq War film Home of the Brave (2006) and Righteous Kill (2008).- Sound Department

His father, named Yakov Korenblit, was the headmaster of primary school in Berdichev. At the age of 10 he moved to Kiev and settled with his aunt, a retired actress. She introduced him to theatre. He took part in amateur performances and assumed the name Tairov as a pseudonym. In 1904 he enrolled in the Law School at Kiev University, and married his cousin Olga the same year. In 1905 Tairov opposed the pogroms of Jews in Kiev and was arrested by the Tsar's police and imprisoned. His second arrest led him to a decision to move to St. Petersburg. He was invited by the famous Russian actress Vera Komissarzhevskaya and joined her theatre as an actor under directorship of Vsevolod Meyerhold. Tairov also continued his studies at the Law school of St. Petersburg University. There he started his life-long friendship with Anatoli Lunacharsky. At that time he collaborated with Vsevolod Meyerhold on a joint production of a play by Paul Claudel. Both directors were creating new experimental models for theatre in Russia.
Tairov created a prototype of his Chamber Theatre as "synthetic theatre" with high goals in mind. As director he experimented with staging, acting, individual and group movements, stage and costume designs, and worked with every detail of theatrical performance in order to brake away from the traditional theatre. He established ideal discipline at his Chamber Theatre. Tairov's experimental approach spread to all phases of creating a stage show including even the rehearsals and practice. He used the music of Ludwig van Beethoven and Frédéric Chopin as a way of helping his actors achieve spiritual union in there scenes. In 1912 Tairov was invited to direct a play in collaboration with the Russian Drama Theatre in Riga. There he was once again attacked by the local anti-Semites and was banned by the local authorities from staying and working in the city of Riga. The conflict took two weeks to resolve. Tairov prevailed, he stayed and completed his work for the Russian Drama Theatre in Riga. Upon his return to St. Petersburg, Tairov converted to Evangelic Lutheranism.
In 1913 Tairov moved to Moscow. There he joined a corporation of attorneys at law and could continue a comfortable career. Instead Tairov established himself as important anti-realist director. His Chamber Theatre became the center of experimental creativity for many Russian actors, artists, writers, and musicians. Tairov was the first director in Russia to stage the Three-Penny Opera by Bertolt Brecht. He staged plays of Valery Briusov, O'Neal, J.B. Pristley, Oscar Wilde, and other contemporary writers. Tairov collaborated with such artists as Alexandra Exter, Pavel Kuznetsov, Sergei Soudeikin, Mikhail Larionov, Natalya Goncharova, and others. Tairov's Acting Studio became extremely popular among aspiring actors such as Vera Karalli, Alisa Koonen, Evgeniy Lebedev, and others. He worked with composers Sergei Prokofiev, A. Aleksandrov, Georgi Sviridov, and Dmitri Kabalevsky.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Tairov continued his independent approach to theatre. His early productions were Salome by Oscar Wilde and Adrienne Lecouvrer, which became a legendary play and ran over 800 performances. Chamber Theatre remained very popular and toured across the Soviet Union. The Chamber Theatre's tours of Europe in 1923, and of South America in 1930 were critically acclaimed as "a total victory of the famous Russian innovator and a genius of staging." In 1929 Tairov produced 'Bagrovy Ostrov' (The Crimson Island) by Mikhail A. Bulgakov. At that time Joseph Stalin began his total control of culture and labeled the play bourgeois. That was enough for attacking Tairov in the Soviet media. His next production of 'Optimistic tragedy' was criticized by Vyacheslav Molotov as a slander of Russian history. Tairov tried to defend his theatre, he stated that theatres must be established on the level of research institutes. 'Pavlov has an institute on which millions are spent. Stanislavsky must have an institute too", said Tairov. As a punishment Tairov's Chamber Theatre was sent to work in Siberia.
In August of 1941 Tairov joined the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee. It was formed by the group of leading intellectuals to campaign against the Nazis during the Second World War. The Committee was headed by Solomon Mikhoels. Along with Tairov other prominent members were Emil Gilels, David Oistrakh, Samuil Marshak, Ilja Ehrenburg, and many other leading intellectuals in the Soviet Union. The main driving force of the Committee was represented by the group of Yiddish writers such as Perets Markish, Lev Kvitko, David Gofstein, Itsik Fefer, David Bergelson, and others. The Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee provided over 45 million rubles to the Soviet Red Army. After the end of the Second World War it was denounced by Joseph Stalin, and many of its members were executed by the Soviet secret service.
In 1946 the Communist Party launched attacks on intellectuals in the Soviet Union. Such leading cultural figures as Anna Akhmatova, Sergei Prokofiev, Aram Khachaturyan, Boris Pasternak, and many others suffered from censorship and severe repressions. Tairov's Chamber Theatre was attacked for having little to do with contemporary Soviet life. Tairov tried to make additions to repertoire and invited writer Aleksandr Galich, and young director Georgi Tovstonogov, but it was too late. Soviet Committee for Arts ordered in May of 1949, to close the theatre. Tairov's Chamber Theatre was accused of "Aesthetism and Formalism" and was destroyed by the government decision. Tairov was granted a personal pension and soon was hospitalized with brain cancer. He died on September 5, 1950, in Moscow, and was laid to rest in the Novodevichy Convent Cemetery in Moscow, Russia. - Actor

Alexander was born in western New York in 1973. When his family relocated to the Washington DC area halfway through his high school education, he tested out of the rest of his classes. After a couple of fruitless attempts at making up classes for him to take (such as "Jazz Band: Independent Study"), his guidance counselor asked him what he wanted to do. He said, "How about and internship at a TV station?" His counselor agreed. After his semester-long internship ended, the producer he worked for offered him a job. He quickly worked his way up through the production ranks to Technical Director in less than two years time. One snowy winter's day, he was in the control room, preparing to technical direct, "In The Garden of Eden," a gardening program cablecast throughout the northeast to seven million households. The snow fall outside turned into a fierce storm, and the director of the show called in saying he was unable to leave his house. The producers were stuck. Alex told them he felt comfortable Directing and Technical Directing the show simultaneously. Reluctantly, the producers agreed, and the show aired flawlessly. At the age of 17, Alex had directed his first commercial television show. He stayed at the station for another 4 years until he graduated college with a degree in Journalism and Advertising Copywriting.
Immediately after graduating, at the age of 21, he was offered a job by advertising legend Nick Gisonde (responsible for memorable ad campaigns like "Tastes Great/Less Filling" among others). Alexander Pikas became one of the youngest directors of broadcast for one of the nation's capitol's largest and most successful advertising firms, Arnold Advertising. His style, being described by clients and colleagues as edgy, hip and witty, with a touch of the surreal, quickly gained him popularity in the ad world, especially among those seeking to produce innovative thought-provoking campaigns. Earning 18 Addys in 3 years, his list of clients at Arnold include, the American Red Cross, Exxon/Mobil, Chevy Chase Bank, SAP Technologies, Precision Tune Auto Care and McDonald's. After leaving Arnold, Alex was sought by Fortune 500 companies including AOL and Viacom/MTV for his directorial eye and original ideas. He was also enlisted by WorldWeb.net to create a high-end corporate film that was considered ground-breaking for its time.
Acknowledging his knack for storytelling, Alex soon branched out on his own and was quickly tapped to direct shows and projects by production companies and television networks such as PBS, NBC, FOX, Court TV and Discovery Channel. After a 3 year stay in New York City, Alex then relocated to the DC area. Then, in late 2002, tragedy struck. Driving back from Redskin's Park directing "The Steve Spurrier Coach's Show" for NBC hosted by Sports Machine legend George Michael, the car he was driving was struck from behind at 70 mph. The result was two fractures in his spine. He was treating through physical therapy when he was hit again a few months later by a driver who ran a red light at 55 mph. This put him immediately into surgery. After a painful couple of months, he began his lengthy recuperation period. His cinematographer, Andy Colvin then asked him if he really wanted to do commercials and live television for the rest of his life. Seeing his live television clients drop off one at a time because of his inability to work, he reconsidered his options. The pair located a script for a short film from Rodney Parnther, the executive producer at Clarendon Entertainment out of New York entitled, "The Box Preacher." Shot in the summer of 2004 on 35mm film, Alex convinced Al Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix's father, to allow them to use "Machine Gun" for the soundtrack of the film. Along with music from Sweet Honey in the Rock and composed incidental music, the film made a huge splash on the film festival circuit, being accepted into The Palm Springs International Film Festival and the Urban World Film Festival, where the film received special recognition by the festival's primary sponsor, MTV. In 2005, he directed another short, this one in high definition entitled, "Mother's Day Special." An esoteric, surreal and hyperbolic view on consumerism, the film has sparked continuing interest in Alex's narrative ability and surreal imagery. He edits his work himself (the technical direction side has never left him) in his own edit suite. Currently, Alex is embarking on more narrative projects in the form of episodic programming and two feature films. He lives in the DC area with his wife Heather and daughter Alexandra.- Alexander Reinholdsson was born on 6 July 1988 in Linköping, Sweden.
