Nurturing an impressive body of work, CLIFTON COLLINS, JR. (El Huron) is one of Hollywood’s most versatile talents, and his career continues to evolve with exciting and challenging projects. “Collins is mesmerizing…” and “Mr. Collins’ eloquent performance…” are just a few of the accolades he received for his portrayal of Perry Smith in director Bennett Miller’s Academy Award® nominated film “Capote.” Clifton also received an Alma Award nomination for Best Actor.

Clifton’s passion for the art of acting keeps him drawn to both studio and independent features.  Clifton was recently seen starring in the Lionsgate film “The Perfect Game,” which is based on a true story about a barefooted, rag-tag team of boys from poverty-stricken Monterrey, Mexico who defy extraordinary odds to become the first foreign team to win Little League World Series -- doing so in a perfect game, the only one in championship history.  He also starred in “Sunshine Cleaning,” with Amy Adams and Emily Blunt which premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival; “Still Waters,” with Lake Bell; and the award-winning independent film “Little Chenier.”

Clifton recently finished working on the highly-anticipated films “Star Trek” as well as “The Horsemen,” with Dennis Quaid, “Brothers,” with Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman, and Mike Judge’s new comedy “Extract.”

Clifton’s other notable film credits include “Traffic,” directed by Steven Soderbergh, where Clifton played the unforgettable assassin Frankie Flowers opposite Benicio Del Toro; “Rules of Attraction,” directed by Roger Avary for Lionsgate; and “Tigerland,” directed by Joel Schumacher. Even at the beginning of his career, Clifton found himself working with some of the town’s bright young filmmakers including the Hughes Brothers in “Menace II Society” and “Dead Presidents,” John Singleton in “Poetic Justice,” Kevin Reynolds in “187” and Antoine Fuqua in “The Replacement Killers.”

No stranger to the small screen, Clifton received an Emmy® nomination for his role in highly acclaimed miniseries “Thief,” in which he starred alongside Andre Braugher.

From an early age, Clifton Collins Jr. was encouraged to pursue his artistic talents by his actor grandfather who allowed Clifton the opportunity to surround himself with the acting community. Born to a Mexican mother and a German father, Collins realized his diverse background coupled with his strong intellect would provide a unique quality rarely seen on screen.

Clifton currently resides in Los Angeles.
Since his breakthrough performance as Pedro in NAPOLEON DYNAMITE, EFREN RAMIREZ (Venus) has established himself within the Film and Television industry, working nonstop in numerous projects being released over the coming months.

Ramirez has been acting for over thirteen years, playing diverse roles in many television shows including “ER”, “Judging Amy,” “The District,” “Boston Public,” “MAD TV” and “SCRUBS.” However, it was his iconic portrayal of ‘Pedro’ that has made him an international superstar.

Simply by appearing at events on college campuses ensures that thousands of students will converge for a glimpse of their hero.

Moving on from ‘Pedro’ has been effortless for this gifted young actor. He soon followed NAPOLEON DYNAMITE appearing in the HBO film, WALKOUT with Edward James, Michael Pena and Alexa Vega. In this gripping drama, Ramirez plays Bobby Verdugo, a Chicano student from East LA who struggles for better education in public schools throughout the Chicano movement in 1968.

After completing the High School Volleyball Team rivalry film ALL YOU GOT with Faizone Love and Ciara Harris, Efren starred in the back-to-back Lionsgate films EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH (with Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson) and CRANK (starring opposite Jason Statham and Amy Smart). In this film, Ramirez plays a transvestite, which may be a bit of a surprise for ‘Pedro’ fans.

Efren then starred in RATKO as a foreign dictator’s son who travels to the U.S. to attend college and AMERICAN SUMMER as a poolboy who turns an empty mansion into a brothel.

Recently, Efren wrapped filming the two-person drama CROSSING THE HEART (starring opposite Kris Kristoferson) and made a cameo appearance in GAME with Gerard Butler.

Collectively his films have grossed over $80 million to date.

JOSEPH JULIAN SORIA (Chico) is a California native with roots in Mexico. He is proof that warmth and charm combined with creativity and determination are surefire ingredients to hasten the emergence of a rising star. Oh, and good looks and a great body don’t hurt.

Soria's most recent film credits include CRANK 2 for Neveldine/Taylor, FAST AND THE FURIOUS 4 for Justin Lin, HIGH SCHOOL for John Stalberg(with Adrian Brody and Michael Chiklis) and HAMLET 2 for Andy Fleming (he played Hamlet). Two additional recently wrapped projects are DAYS OF WRATH with Laurence Fishburne, Wilmer Valderrama and Taye Diggs and TRU LOVED, a Festival project with a wonderful young cast surrounded by more established pros like Jane Lynch, Alec Mapa, Jasmine Guy and Bruce Villanche. Other recent films also include COUP DE GRACE and WILLIE, both small films for upcoming Festivals. His TV credits include John Wells’ new pilot and series SOUTHLAND(guest starring) BROTHERS & SISTERS, several episodes of THE SHIELD, CSI: MIAMI, and LINCOLN HEIGHTS.

He is currently putting his singing talent to work in good LA clubs and he's working on a Spanish/English music project. His first CD is due in several months.

Soria takes special pride donating his time to Union Rescue Mission and other non-profit organizations. His goal has been to reach out as a positive role model to young people, working with kids who have learning disabilities and behavior problems, assisting them with everything from homework to life skills.

Few entertainers have attained the iconic status of DWIGHT YOAKAM (Doc Miles). The long-time Los Angeleno has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, placing him in an elite cadre of global superstars. He has 12 gold albums and 9 platinum or multi-platinum albums, including the triple platinum “This Time.” He’s won two Grammys and earned a staggering 21 nominations.

Over the last 15 years, Yoakam has carved out a niche as one of the top character actors on film. Starting with a role as a truck driver in John Dahl’s spicy film noir “Red Rock West” in 1992, Yoakam was an instantly mesmerizing presence on the big screen. However, nothing prepared viewers for his riveting appearance as the malevolent Doyle Hargraves in the Academy Award® winning film “Sling Blade,” for which he and his co-stars were also nominated for the Screen Actors Guild’s award for outstanding performance by a cast. In David Fincher’s box office hit “Panic Room,” as the brilliantly underplayed antagonist Raoul, Yoakam once again seamlessly shapeshifted in front of our eyes. His performance in Tommy Lee Jones’ Cannes Film Festival award-winning “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada” was effusively praised for its penetrating honesty.

This past holiday season Yoakam once again displayed his vast range playing the hilarious Pastor Phil alongside Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn in the broad comedy romp, “Four Christmases.”
COREY IAN HAIM (Randy) was born on December 23, 1971, to Judy and Bernie Haim in Toronto. He has one older sister, Cari, and a much younger brother, Daniel Lee. A few of his interests as a child included collecting Archie comics, creating music on his keyboards and playing ice hockey. In fact, he was considering becoming a professional hockey player when, through a twist of fate, he was bitten by the acting bug while attending an audition with his sister.

In 1982 Corey scored a gig with the Canadian television series "The Edison Twins." By 1984 young Corey had made his way to Los Angeles with the American film “First Born,” co-starring as Teri Garr's youngest son in the drama. Just a year later Corey was slated for four more films!

It was in 1986 when he won hearts -- and a rave review from Roger Ebert -- for his role as the lovable title character in “Lucas”: "He creates one of the most three-dimensional, complicated, interesting characters of any age in any recent movie. If he can continue to act this well, he will never become a half-forgotten child star, but will continue to grow into an important actor. He is that good."

Corey's charisma and talent then gained the notice of director Joel Schumacher, which led to Corey's pivotal role in “The Lost Boys.” This is where Corey met Corey Feldman, the other half of "The Coreys,” so dubbed by their seven co-starring roles together and incredible onscreen chemistry.

The Coreys shared many good times together while filming everything from “The Lost Boys,” “License To Drive,” and “Dream A Little Dream (1 & 2),” to “Busted” in 1996. During this time, Corey also made his production debut as Executive Producer of the films “Demolition High” and “Demolition University” and Associate Producer of “Fast Getaway” and “Life 101.”

After taking a break from being in the public eye, Corey returned to film in 2002, co-starring with Priscilla Barnes in “The Back Lot Murders.”

Corey's commentary can be heard on the DVD releases of “License To Drive Special Edition” (2005) and “The Lost Boys Special Edition” (2004). And The Coreys recently reunited on the appropriately-titled A&E reality show “The Coreys.” Haim can next be seen in “Shark City” opposite Vivica A. Fox.
KEONE YOUNG (Don Kim) reprises his role as the Triad leader from “Crank.” Young is a familiar face from a number of feature films, television shows and theatrical productions. His film credits include “Dude, Where’s My Car?” “Dr. Dolittle 2,” “Playing God,” “Jack,” “Striptease,” “The Brady Bunch Movie,” “North,” “My Girl 2,” “Golden Gate,” “Surf Ninjas,” “Honeymoon in Vegas,” “Black Rain,” “Lost Angeles,” “Fear,” “Private Benjamin,” “Alien Nation,” “Eyewitness,” “Frances,” “The Wild Life,” “Beverly Hills Body Snatchers” and “Baby Blue Marine.”

Young has had recurring roles on the HBO Emmy®-winning series “Deadwood,” as well as “The Young and the Restless,” “American Dragon: Jake Long,” “Generations,” “General Hospital” and “Marker.” His numerous television appearances include “American Dad,” “The Unit,” “Numb3rs,” “Cold Case,” “John From Cincinnati,” “House M.D.,” “Navy: NCIS,” “Alias,” “NYPD Blue,” “Crossing Jordan,” “Nash Bridges,” “Mad About You,” “Cheers,” “St. Elsewhere,” “Civil Wars,” “The Simpsons,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Caroline in the City,” “Taxi” and “The Golden Girls.” Young has also appeared in theatrical productions for the East West Players, Bay Area Theater, Manhattan Theater Club and Mark Taper Forum.
