Dominic Purcell

Dominic Haakon Myrtvedt Purcell was born on February 17, 1970 in England. Two years later, Dominic ad his family moved from England to Sydney’s Bondi and later moved to the Western Suburbs. His mother is Irish and his father is Norwegian. He attended Blaxland East Public School in his elementary school years and went to St. Dominic’s College, Penrith and McCarthy Catholic College for high school. He grew up in a blue-collar neighbourhood, loved surfing and worked as a landscape gardener as a teen, but soon tired of the profession. He was inspired to explore acting as a profession after watching Oliver Stone's Platoon . Due to his working class background, acting seemed a very unlikely choice of career so he decided to enrol in acting course. He studied at the Australian Theatre for Young People and then later enrolled at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts where he met his future wife Rebecca and studied alongside Hugh Jackman. Eventually, Dominic landed a role on the Australian TV Series Raw FM in 1997 and then a small stints in Mission:Impossible II and Equilibrium in 2002.
With his barrel chest and oversized frame, Purcell seemed almost tailor-made for a career as a character player. He remained in that sphere temporarily, but traveled a step beyond it in terms of complexity, playing not just one type time and again, but a broad array -- ranging from everyman heroes and monsters to occasional toughs. Consequently, Purcell shot rather quickly to top billing. After a scant few supporting turns, Purcell's first major starring role arrived with his lead portrayal in the series John_Doe (2002). The series lasted only a season but Purcell soon popped up on the big screen in Blade: Trinity and again on TV in a memorable stint on the short-lived prime-time soap North Shore before landing his career-making role as wrongly accused death-row inmate Lincoln Burrows on Prison Break in 2005 following his major cinematic role in the natural horror picture Primeval (2007).

Adam Sandler

He was born Adam Richard Sandler on the 9th of September, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, the third of four kids. His dad, Stanley, was an engineer, while his mother, Judy, was a homemaker, looking after Scott (now a lawyer), Elizabeth (a dentist), Adam and Valerie (a restauranteur). While Adam was still young, they moved north, to Manchester, New Hampshire.
Sandler did not excel as a student. His interests lay elsewhere. He loved wrestling, and basketball - he played on Manchester Central High School's junior varsity team. At age 11, he got up to sing at Elizabeth's wedding, performing Ringo Starr's You're Sixteen to huge applause. The music would continue into his teens, when he formed a covers band. Rock was their thing. And, of course, there was another interest - comedy. Mel Brooks was an early influence.
As the child of a Jewish family, though, education was deemed vitally important, and Adam enrolled at New York University, to study Fine Arts, and Drama in particular. He took his first step towards becoming a stand-up comedian when he spontaneously took the stage at Boston comedy club. During his final year in college, he snagged a recurring role as the Huxtable family's friend Smitty on the hugely successful "The Cosby Show" (1984). He was a performer for the MTV game show Remote Control, on which he made appearances as the characters “Trivia Delinquent” or “Stud Boy”. While working at a comedy club in L.A., he was "discovered" by Dennis Miller, who recommended him to "Saturday Night Live" (1975) producer Lorne Michaels. Sandler was hired as a writer for SNL in 1990 and became a featured player the following year, making a name for himself by performing amusing original songs on the show, including "The Chanukah Song". He left the show in 1995 to focus on his film career.
Sandler went on to the movies; his first starring role was in 1989, in the film Going Overboard. He also starred other financially successful comedies such as Airheads(1994), Billy Madison (1995), Bulletproof (1996), Happy Gilmore (1996), The Wedding Singer (1998) and The Big Daddy (1999) where he met his then wife Jacqueline Samantha Titone. He was initially cast in the bachelor-party-themed comedy/thriller Very Bad Things (1998), but had to back out due to his involvement in The Waterboy (1998), one of his first hits. Among other of his films are Mr. Deeds (2002), Eight Crazy Nights (2002), Punch-Drunk Love (2002) for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe, 50 First Dates (2004), Spanglish (2004), The Longest Yard (2005), Click (2006), Reign Over Me (2007), I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007), You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008), Bedtime Stories (2008), Funny People (2009), Grown Ups (2010,and the recent Just Go With It (2011). He also writes and produces many of his own films and has composed songs for several of them, including The Wedding Singer (1998). Most notably, there was the actor Allen Covert, the director Frank Coraci and Adam's roomie, Tim Herlihy, with whom he'd co-write all his biggest hits. Sandler’s name was certainly getting around and become a guarantee and, as such, he was being paid more even than the likes of Harrison Ford.

Over the next three years, Grenier showed up in supporting roles in a handful of films such as Hart's_War and Anything_Else, the latter of which again saw him teamed with Woody_Allen.

Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves is a Canadian actor, born on September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon. He is the son of Patricia Bond (née Taylor), a costume designer/performer, and Samuel Nowlin Reeves, Jr., a geologist. Reeves’ mother is English while his father is a Hawaiian-born American of English, Irish, Portuguese, Hawaiian and Chinese descent. After parents’ marriage dissolved, Keanu moved with his mother and younger sister Kim to New York City, then Toronto. Since then, he never reconnected with his biological father, who served time in prison. He was paroled after serving two years of a ten-year sentence for selling heroin at Hilo Airport in 1992.
Reeves named after his uncle Henry Keanu Reeves. "Keanu" is a derivation of Reeves' great-great-uncle Keaweaheulu, whose name means "the soft breeze raising" in Hawaiian. In high school, Reeves was lukewarm toward academics but took a keen interest in ice hockey (as team goalie, he earned the nickname "The Wall" by high school hockey team De La Salle College "Oaklands”) and drama. He eventually dropped out of school to pursue an acting career.
Reeves began his acting career at the age of nine, appearing in various theatre productions and commercials. After a few stage gigs and a handful of made-for-TV movies, he scored a supporting role in the Rob Lowe hockey flick Youngblood (1986), which was filmed in Canada. Shortly after the production wrapped, Reeves packed his bags and headed for Hollywood. Reeves then got the lead role in the dark adolescent drama River's Edge (1986), but his first popular success was the role of totally rad dude Ted Logan in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989). The wacky time-travel movie became something of a cultural phenomenon, and audiences would forever confuse Reeves's real-life persona with that of his doofy on-screen counterpart. Not long enough Reeves played a slumming rich boy opposite River Phoenix's narcoleptic male hustler in My Own Private Idaho (1991), an unlucky lawyer who stumbles into the vampire's lair in Dracula (1992), and Shakespearean party-pooper Don Jon in Much Ado About Nothing (1993).
Reeves became a big-budget action star with the release of Speed I in 1994. Its success heralded an era of five years in which Reeves would alternate between largely unwatched small films, like Feeling Minnesota (1996) and The Last Time I Committed Suicide (1997), and unwatched big films like Johnny Mnemonic (1995) and Chain Reaction (1996). After all this Reeves did the unthinkable and passed on the Speed sequel, but he struck box-office gold again a few years later with the Wachowski brothers' cyberadventure The Matrix (1999) playing the role of Neo.
Despite this fame and career successes, from 'stoner'-type roles in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," to serious dramatic roles in "Sweet November," "The Devil's Advocate," and "The Matrix" trilogy, as far as Reeves is concerned, he's just a regular guy who rides a motorcycle, plays in a band (Dogstar), and shows up every now and then for a movie shoot.
