Enid-Raye Adams was born in 1973 in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Since then, no one has ever pronounced her name correctly. Kids at school called her Igor and Enid The Peenid. (Those kids were ill-mannered and had gastric intestinal problems.) After two perms in a row in junior high, Enid-Raye bore a striking resemblance to Napoleon Dynamite (2004) from the major motion picture of the same name.
Years later, Enid-Raye began her career in theater, performing in some of Shakespeare's classics. In 1993, she made her film debut as a feature extra in the Canadian independent For the Moment (1993) opposite Russell Crowe. Her only requirement in the film was to tap Russell Crowe's shoulder in a party scene and smile at him. This was meant to launch her career in film and television and cement her as a leading lady in the minds of directors and studio executives everywhere. Unfortunately, due to a severe case of nerves, Enid-Raye looked like a rabid gopher on camera and her part was cut from the film.
In 1998, she moved to Vancouver to pursue her career and couldn't get arrested. If she jaywalked in front of the cops, they would say, "I'm sorry, we've decided to go another way," or "Jaywalk for us again when you have an agent." It was during this time that she co-wrote and performed in the hilarious one-woman show "Would You Like Fries With That?". She began and promptly finished doing stand-up comedy when she discovered she was much funnier in the privacy of her own home. Finally, she threatened to egg an agent's '87 Dodge Dart if he didn't sign her. Remarkably, he did and she has been working ever since.
Enid-Raye was a host for The 16th Annual Leo Awards (2014) and has received two Leo Award nominations for her work: One for her chilling portrayal of the psychotic and highly disturbed Laura Maitland, a recurring character in the acclaimed series Da Vinci's Inquest (1998) for Chris Haddock; And the second for her role as a Mom suffering from depression in R.L. Stine's the Haunting Hour (2010), opposite Rico Rodriguez (Modern Family (2009)). Other select credits include No Men Beyond This Point (2015), iZombie (2015), Backstrom (2015), Lawrence & Holloman (2013), Endgame (2011), Fringe (2008), Psych (2006), Supernatural (2005), Intelligence (2005), Dead Like Me (2003), Jeremiah (2002), and Steven Spielberg's Taken (2002). She was recently elected as a Director on the UBCP/ACTRA Executive Board.
Enid-Raye works regularly in film, television, voice and commercials. She lives in Vancouver where she can be found loitering in front of Lee's Donuts in her chocolate milk mustache and buffet pants.- Actress

David Fraser was born on 28 March 1958 in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, Canada. He is an actor and production manager, known for Charlie Bartlett (2007), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993) and Murder at 1600 (1997). He has been married to Marilyn Wallis Fraser since 28 April 1998. They have one child.- Larry grew up in and around Kalamazoo, Michigan. His family settled in nearby Mattawan (a town known for excellent educational standards and cows across the street from the high school). It was here that Larry developed a passion for the arts.
After graduating from High School in 1998, Larry became an on air personality at WIRX radio in nearby Benton Harbor. His on air characters and interactions with the public garnered the status of a "local celebrity". It was at this radio station that Larry fully realized acting as a profession. After nearly 5 years at the radio station, Larry left to enroll as a full time acting student at Western Michigan University's nationally acclaimed theater program.
Larry's work ethic and maturity blossomed as he worked at a local homeless shelter, maintained a full class load and continuously performed as leading roles in WMU's theater program. The most recognized role at Western was the nationally acclaimed production of "Othello" where Herron played the title role. Having never performed Shakespeare before, Herron enrolled in Oxford University's BADA program where he trained with Shakespeare professionals from the UK and around the world. Once "Othello" opened, it earned regional and national honors that literally brought the production to a weekend of performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
In a turn of fate, that production of "Othello" closed 24 hours before Herron and his mother, Donna Gardner, were due to graduate from Western.
After earning his Masters Degree and a few surfing lessons from UC San Diego in 2008, Larry moved to Los Angeles. He quickly found a close knit relationship with his good friends Ted Schachter and Brantley Brown at Schachter entertainment. Between auditions and shoots, Herron regularly tutors High School students and spends time with his dear friends and the love of his life, Tunisia Hardison. - Actor

What do you get when you mix the hard-nosed grit of The Shield with the emotional insight of Six Feet Under? Me.
Hi, I'm Editor/Director/Writer Luke Brown. Using keen empathy and brutal honesty, I create layered characters and tender relationships in tough, adverse worlds.
You've likely seen several stories about characters facing their fears, beating the odds and basking in their moment of triumph. You've clocked that exhausted smile on a character's face at the end of their long road to redemption felt inspired to take on a challenge of your own. That same smile, though, can mask the toll it took to get there. That's where I come in.
I'm interested in the cost of glory more than glory itself. When I think about milestones in my own life (trekking the Alps/scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef/roaming the Great Migration in Africa), my most vivid memories are of the journey, not the accomplishment. Instead of standing on top of the mountain, I see my feet stepping in front of each other on the way up. Why? Because that's where the time was spent. Because that's where the growth really occurred.
Exciting stories about the resilience of the human condition resonate with me because I've written some of my own, and I utilize the lessons I've learned as a storyteller. My life experiences have trained me to identify your character's divine flaw, challenge it with ferocity, nurture it with love and transform it into their greatest asset.
My creative calling is to inspire others to love the struggle and be their own personal hero. To me, heroes aren't super. They're us. And just like us, they're vulnerable. In every scene, in every story, I sculpt emotions toward that vulnerability.
I build strong characters through urgent plots. I create intimacy within chaos. I am the keeper of heart in your action drama.
So, who's your hero and how can I help you tell their story?- Actor
