Daniel Stern was born in Bethesda, Maryland, to a social worker father and a day care manager mother. He has been acting professionally since the age of seventeen. Following his high school graduation, he auditioned for the Washington Shakespeare Festival seeking a job as a lighting engineer but ended up as "a strolling player with a lute" in their production of "As You Like It." Shortly thereafter, he made his way to New York where he "took a couple of acting lessons" and began to assemble an impressive portfolio of such off-Broadway credits as "Split," "Frankie and Annie," "The Mandrake," and "The Old Glory." In addition, director Peter Yates cast him as one of the four Indiana teenagers in the highly acclaimed film Breaking Away (1979). Variety in acting roles appeals to Stern. Following "Breaking Away," he appeared in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories (1980), Claudia Weill's It's My Turn (1980) and John Schlesinger's Honky Tonk Freeway (1981) before returning to New York to appear off-Broadway in the two character play "How I Got That Story," which led to critical acclaim and a starring role in Barry Levinson's Diner (1982). Other film credits include I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can (1982), Blue Thunder (1983), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), The Boss' Wife (1986), The Milagro Beanfield War (1988), Born in East L.A. (1987) and D.O.A. (1988) In addition to his voice-over work on the series, Stern directed several episodes of the popular and critically acclaimed television comedy, The Wonder Years (1988).- Actor

Richard was born in Bethesda, Maryland, the middle of three sons of Edward, a real estate lawyer, and Charlotte, a cable TV and publishing executive. His parents divorced when he was 12. He dropped out of high school and switched to night school because he could finish sooner with less work. He studied at the City College of New York (CCNY) in 1973. "In college when I tripped and fell over the drama program at the City College of New York, and went and got into the Professional Acting Training Program by fluke, and Earle Gister, who was, uh, had just come from Carnegie-Melon, and was on his way to the Yale School of Drama stopped for a little pit stop at the City College of New York for three years to run the Davis Center for Performing Arts. I was very lucky that he was there." After not bothering to show up for finals though, he headed to Colorado where he cut firewood and lived a hippie life. He returned to New York in 1975 and started studying acting at CCNY and eventually was accepted into their theater program. He initially disliked acting and studied to be a director. He directed several off-Broadway plays, including "Antigone" with a then just-graduated Angela Bassett in 1983. He also met present wife, Sheila Kelley, during auditions for this play. The two married in 1996. In the mid-1980s, Richard says he conquered his fears and decided to take a stab at acting. He got several TV roles, but he was seen by Steven Spielberg in an episode of the TV drama High Incident (1996). Spielberg then cast him in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) and his career has been on an upward climb ever since that has led to his co-starring role in The West Wing (1999).- Actor

Jamie Alexander, actor, writer, and plus-sized underwear-model, effectively masks his nightly superhuman crime-fighting with a stunning array of unnoticed and critically-ignored filmic endeavors. Accidentally hosting over 300 episodes of TBN's Virtual Memory, and mistakenly installed as Xtreme Video Zone's Video-Jockey, network officials sat stunned as Jamie's cyber-superhero in The Adventures of Megabyte Man swept the entirely fictional Film-Performance Awards for "Best Effort, Despite Circumstances". After rave reviews poured in from both of Jamie's parents, TBN officials reluctantly pinned Jamie to host several years of Access 360, and helm the world's most obscure and overlooked special television event, Great Men of History: Behind the Screens. With movement-performance work as the Master Chief in Halo 4, the Infected in Sony's Last Of Us, and an appearance as an Unsuspecting Groom in Maroon 5's Sugar music vid, Jamie ricocheted from television and video games to the silver screens-
Squeezing into skin-tight lederhosen, Jamie emerged an octave higher as Martin Wilhelm, a misguided, cultic villain in the zany detective farce, Rock Slyde, and sans-lederhosen as the trepidatious, new pastor, Jack Jacobs, in Can I Get A Witness Protection.
As penance for his previous attempts at "professional acting", Jamie found himself suffocating under an articulated, rubber head (brain lederhosen) as the mysterious Pyke Boss in The Book of Boba Fett, and soon after, wore a crisp-yet-breathable button-up shirt in Man From Nowhere, and a cool jacket to lead the supernatural thriller Fin.
Most recently, Jamie's karaoke savant (and glute-ishly-bulbous) performance as Mark Hixon in Chonda Pierce's Roll With It, won "Largest Hair and Tightest Red Body Suit" at all international awards shows, and he popped at least 12 blood vessels in his neck as the uber-stressed Gaming CEO, Miles Sugar, in Matter of Time.
In his free time, Jamie enjoys crushing evil with his bare hands, yogurt cups, and penning the rags-to-riches biography of Dark Dynasty K9's Marlon Grennan: The Pit Bull King.
And with staggering efficiency, Jamie's work continues to evade popular awareness, save a recent commercial for Humira, a creamy, topical ointment for Chronic Plaque Psoriasis, which swept national audiences with waves of mild discomfort.- Additional Crew
