A.C. Ross was born at a military hospital in Illinois. Her father was a photojournalist in the Army and her mother taught dance. For the first five years of her life, A.C. lived all over the east coast.
At the age of five, her parents moved back to their hometown of Kirkwood, Missouri. A.C. graduated from Kirkwood High School and attended Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa on theater and music scholarships her freshman year.
While in Iowa, A.C. received her first paid acting role as a featured extra in "My Father's Gun," which aired on the History Channel. Shortly thereafter, A.C. auditioned for and was accepted to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. Craving warmer climates, A.C. requested and was granted a transfer to AADA - Los Angeles.
The summer after her first year at the Academy, A.C. received another paying role when she was cast in "Music Man" at the Glendale Centre Theatre. This disqualified A.C. from attending AADA for the second year of the program.

A year and a half into the job, A.C. learned something very valuable; she didn't want to be an agent. A.C. had lived a very fulfilling and fairly idyllic life up until that point. She decided it was time for some life experience.
In 2007 A.C. moved to Dusseldorf, Germany to spend a year abroad. Life happened and one year turned into five. A.C. returned to Los Angeles in 2012 full of life experience and more stories than could fill a book. She executive assisted again, this time for a producer at a small integrated marketing company in the valley. A.C. often served as a Production Coordinator on the smaller spots.
Ready to be the master of her own destiny, A.C. left her full-time position to work as a freelance Assistant Director on two-time Oscar award-winning director Terry Sanders' feature film, "Liza, Liza, Skies are Grey." Additionally, A.C. produced alongside veteran music video producer Michelle Larkin on Michelle's directorial debut, the short film, "Lay It On Me." Shortly thereafter, A.C. was hired by the Goethe Institute of Los Angeles to write, produce and direct an original trailer for the German Currents Film Festival.
Going freelance has given A.C. the time and creative freedom to develop her screenplays and prepare to direct her first feature film. She is currently seeking representation.- A.Q. Shipley was born on 20 May 1986 in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, USA.

Lionel Barrymore won a Best Actor Oscar playing a mouthpiece based on her father in A Free Soul (1931), which was based on a 1927 novel written by Adela. A story of hers was adapted into another talkie classic, What Price Hollywood? (1932), the precursor of the 1937's A Star Is Born (1937) and its two remakes.

During the halcyon years of The Jazz Age, she made her living interviewing celebrities for "Photoplay Magazine", the premiere movie rag of its time. She also began publishing short stories in top drawer magazines such as Hearst's "Cosmopolitan" and toiled in the belly of The Hollywood Beast of as a screenwriter before returning to the fold of the Hearst newspapers in the late 1920.
She remained a reporter until 1948, when she shifted her focus to writing books and teaching. In 1970,St. Johns was awarded the Presidential Medal for Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award, by President Richard Nixon. She got back in harness as a reporter for the "Examiner" in 1976, when the 82-year-old covered the trial of Patricia Hearst, William Randolph Hearst's granddaughter.

Andersen made his debut in the season 4 mid-season finale and has now been positioned as a lead. He takes on the role of 'Ivar the Boneless,' the son of Ragnar Lothbrok's (Travis Fimmel), who is more dangerous than he appears. His character, along with Ragnar's other offspring, have been featured as children but will now make the transition to adulthood as part of the time jump in the series.
Andersen found his love for acting while studying drama at a school for young children between the age of 7 and 19. It was there that he learned the basics of acting including the discipline, focus, and teamwork it takes to succeed in the business. Andersen participated in many musical oriented plays and was fortunate to gain a lot of experience due to the many big parts he was responsible for. As his peers began auditioning for film roles, he realized around age 17 the difference between acting roles in front of an audience and in front of a camera. This translated into Andersen's work and he began auditioning and continued on to study Film and Media Studies at the University of Copenhagen. Andersen has appeared in numerous television and film projects in Denmark, and Vikings now marks his Hollywood debut.
When he is not acting, Andersen enjoys spending much of his time focusing on photography. He considers himself a visual minded person and continues to learn more and more about cameras, partly because of his experience shooting and directing short films. Andersen's also gives back what time he does have to charities such as Unicef, Care Denmark, and Kræftensbekæmpelse (Fighting Cancer). He very much relates to Fighting Cancer, as his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 7 years ago. - Actress
