Anyone have problems with Optionshouse?

Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:31:50 +0000

I've been looking around for a couple weeks now for a decent stock broker and I'm stuck. I've been watching the pinksheet stocks mostly... so the broker needs to comply with small trades and what not. I've read a few <a href="http://buysellstockonline.com/Optionshouse-Review/">Optionshouse reviews</a> now that outline their trading platform and I think they sound the best fitting but I'm interested to hear of any user experiences?

Answered: WHY WAS NOTING MENTIONED ABOUT RANDY KLATT WHO KILLED A DOG NAMED ZEAK

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:13:02 +0000

Carcass, not caucus.
Next, look for facts, not emotional responses.
If the dogs were at large and attacking his sheep, Klatt is entirely in his rights in Texas to stop the predation. Shoot them, run them down or get a pasture full of Kommondors, all means are legal and reasonable.
If Klatt really shot the old dog he should have shot him again and killed him cleanly. That I hold against him.
But where, exactly, was the dog when he was shot?
Where was the other dog when he was run over?
If the Peace family so loved their dogs why did they allow them to run loose?
Granted, hanging dead dogs - or coyotes - on fences is tasteless and gross, almost as tasteless and gross as the PETA billboards with graphics of dogs depicted with huge fish hooks hanging out of their mouths.
Where, honestly, does the concept of torture come into play, other than as a exaggeration of what is alleged to have happened?

Answered: who is alexander the great?

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 06:15:49 +0000

When Alexander the great was 13, Philip hired the Greek philosopher Aristotle to be Alexander’s personal tutor.
Aristotle gave Alexander a training in rhetoric and literature and stimulated his interest in science, medicine, and philosophy, all of which became of importance in Alexander’s later life.
In 340, when Philip assembled a large Macedonian army and invaded Thrace, he left his 16 years old son with the power to rule Macedonia in his absence as regent, which shows that even at such young age Alexander was recognized as quite capable.

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 17:16:37 +0000

Hamilton has never prosecuted any animal abuse/neglect cases. This is where Rainbow Exotics operates (they supply PetSmart & Petco with birds and small animals). Another case of extreme horse neglect never saw a court room (photos available) there is a disgusting puppy mill operating in Shive (Hamilton County) have photos posted. County Commissioner doesn't want to interfer with her property rights and Sid Miller (running for re-election as State Rep. told me he doesn't want to inhibit a Texan's entreprenural (sp) spirit! Excuse me while I vomit. Somehow we have to get the message across to the next generation they must denounce these "rural cultural values."

Did you print any stories on the alleged animal abuse by RANDY KLATT?

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 02:40:59 +0000

We have read the horrific allegations against RANDY KLATT of torturing and murdering his neighbor's beloved dogs, then splaying their bodies on the fence for the children to see. (the victim's families have a facebook page entitled "justice for boy and zeak".)

According to the story I have read, only a $50 fine was imposed. Can this be true??? People across the nation would like to know what is happening in this case, and how the city of Hamilton intends to deal with this.

As I'm sure you are aware, people who delight in torturing helpless animals often go on to murder children.

Please give us an update. The nation is waiting to see what type of city Hamilton Texas is.

Robert Carradine
Robert Carradine Biography:
Robert Reed Carradine has acting running through his veins. Born on 24th March, 1954, Reed is the youngest member of the Carradines—a family of actors. Robert Carradine first appeared on television with a role in a western series called Bonanza. David, his elder brother, allowed Carradine to appear in his TV series Kung Fu. Carradine first played a role in a film in the Cowboys (1972) where he performed alongside John Wayne and Roscoe Lee Browne.

Robert Carradine was born and raised in Hollywood, California. He is the son of John Carradine and Sonia Sorel (nee Henius) who were both actors. Carradine has two brothers Keith and Christopher Carradine, two half brothers from his father’s side, David and Bruce Carradine, and one half brother from his mother’s side, Michael Bowen.

At the age of two, his parents divorced and a bitter court battle over the custody of the children ensued. His father got the custody of Robert Carradine and his brothers. At this time, Carradine was blissfully ignorant of what was happening and thanks to his ignorance and age, he escaped the traumatic phase that his brothers had to go through. After his parents’ divorce, Carradine and his brothers were raised by Doris Grimshaw, their father’s third wife. Carradine got to meet his mother when he was 14 at a Christmas party. Until then, he always thought Doris was his real mother.

Robert Carradine’s Interests:
When Carradine went to high school, he lived in Laurel Canyon, California, with his half brother David. At this time, he threw his energies into two of his favorite interests—music and race car driving.

You And Me came in 1975 almost the same time they did a musical together called A Country Mile that was never released. Carradine also got to do some camera work for Americana, a classic Vietnam inspired film that got released in 1983.

Robert Carradine continued growing in the acting industry. In 1976, he got a chance to play the role of Jim Cantrell as a cross country race driver in Cannonball. There he demonstrated his prowess and love for race cars.

Robert Carradine’s break came when he landed a role in Coming Home (1978) which was awarded an Oscar. There were speculations then that he just might be the cream of the Carradine acting family. He then went ahead and secured roles for his brothers Keith and David in the Long Riders (1980). In the same year, he had a role in The Big Red One as Fuller. In 1983, he played the role of a rock star in Wavelength. Revenge of the Nerds is Carradine’s biggest success and it came in the year 1984 when he played the role of Lewis Skolnick, the lead nerd.

Robert Carradine received an Honoree in 1998, at the 16th Annual Golden Boot Awards alongside his brothers David and Keith. His elder brother David played a major role in Robert’s acting career. He was with him even in those baby steps that Robert took into acting till he became well established.

Born on February 20 1925, he joined the acting industry in the 50s and his sun set on November 20th 2006 after succumbing to leukemia related complications. He was a film director and screenwriter and is one of the few who have their films preserved in the United States National Film Registry. He had four of his films preserved there: Mrs. Miller, Nashville, Mash and McCabe. He received an Academy Honor Award for his directing prowess in 2006.

Bernard was born to Helen Mathews and Bernard Clement Altman. Helen was from Nebraska and Clement was a rich insurance broker with a German, Irish and English ancestry. Altman was brought up in strong and staunch catholic beliefs, even though he didn’t follow them as such when he grew up. He attended Rockhurst High School in Kansas City after which he joined, alongside many other youth, the United States Army Forces at the age of 18. During World War II, he served 50 bombing missions serving as a crewman.

After the war was over, he was discharged from duty in 1946 and went straight to California. The tattoo machine at that time was invented to assist in the identification of dogs and Bernard worked as a marketer of the machine’s manufacturing company. For him, filmmaking was just a whim he thought would go away so he joined to pass time. Little did he know he would be hooked and pass on still in the industry.

Robert Altman’s Works:

Robert Altman got television directing roles and his first direction was Alfred Hitchcock Presents, a series. His interest in filming developed with each interaction he made in the industry and the more he stuck around, the more he became sure it was where he belonged. After directing a few more films, he directed his own composition Mash in 1969. The film was highly acclaimed and it turned out to be his big break and a nudge further into filming. Having seized the assurance he needed and with his feet firmly on the acting ground, Altman came up with more scripts where the most recent was greater than the preceding one. He made great breakthroughs with films like Mrs. Miller and McCabe (1971), Nashville (1975), The Long Goodbye (1973) And Thieves Like Us (1974). Nashville was his greatest success of all times which brought out his unique naturist style.

In 1980, Robert Altman sold his Lion’s Gate Studio since the demand for his scripts was dwindling in Hollywood and he saw it was becoming a liability to him. The 90s, however, came with a career comeback for him as he directed two very successful films. Some of the films he directed in the 90s include the Player (1992) and Short Cuts (1993).

Robert Altman Awards and Achievements:

Robert Altman got five Oscar nominations but has never got the award. Apart from the Oscar, he got Kansas City awards, BAFTA Awards for directing various films, Hochi Film Awards for directing, The Academy Honor Award for lifetime achievement, among other awards.

Robert Altman was married thrice. He married Lavonner Elmer in 1946 and they divorced in 1949 after having one child. He then married Lotus Correlli in 1954 to 1957 with whom they had two children. After that he married Kathryn Reed in 1959 and they had two children. Altman therefore had five children: Mike Altman, Robert Reed Altman, Mathew R Altman, Stephen Altman and Christine Altman.

He is remembered for his easy going personality and dry humor. For instance when asked by an interviewer whether he was thinking of retiring, he asked ‘you mean death?” To him, there was no way he was retiring from acting.

He got his first opportunity to show his acting skills when he received an invitation to act as Benvolio in Frank Zaffirellis’s movie remake of Romeo and Juliet. This Shakespearean romance-drama is full of depth and opportunities for an actor to prove his worth. It seemed that the 22 year old Bruce Robinson had made a commendable entrance into the film industry and his activities for the following years would certainly suggest as much. In 1970 he took part in the production of The Music Lovers which was directed by Ken Russel. In 1975 he had the chance to work with director Francis Truffaut in the production of The Story of Adele H.
At that point in his life, he was without a doubt edging towards a successful career. But despite his successful performances, for the next couple of years it was very difficult for Robinson to find any acting jobs. In an effort to improve conditions and gain some social security, Robinson accepted the fact that he could no longer hope to base his career on acting. So he began writing screenplays. His writing aptitude was first appreciated by David Puttnam who hired him to work with director Ronald Juffe for the making of the movie The Killing Fields. Contributing in a different manner to the film set must have been a successful venture for Robinson because he was appointed once again by Ronald Juffe for the filming of Fatman and Little Boy in 1989. Bringing further accolade and recognition to his career as a screenwriter, was the Academy Award nomination that he received. He also received BAFTA award for his efforts and it became a highlight of his young career.
Of course, his career had enjoyed a boost in terms of publicity two years prior to the making of Fatman and Little Boy. When he provided the foundation for the creation of the semi-autobiography, Withnail and I, he received much praise for his creativity. The film released in 1987 and depicted the tale of two actors who were struggling to survive in their professions. Many people were able to associate with the inspiration behind this film to Robinson’s early years where “Withnail” was his close friend and colleague Vivian Mackerrel, and “I” was himself. The movie did not receive much praise in the cinema halls but it was enormously popular on video. The movie was such a success that it ironically jumpstarted the acting career of Richard E. Grant who had one of the leading roles in the movie. Bruce Robinson received £80,000 for Whitney and I.
Robison teamed up with Richard E Grant once again for the filming of the movie How to Get Ahead in Advertising. Robinson himself had a role in the movie and this was his first role in seven years. He then headed on to direct Jennifer’s Eight in 1992. It was his first venture in American cinema and unfortunately it was not very well received. His screenplay efforts for Hollywood in Return to Paradise in 1998 and In Dreams the following year were also not credited as his finest works. In 1998 he published his book The Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman and in 2000 he published Smoking in Bed. Following the birth of his children, he published books such as The Obvious Elephant in 2000 and Harold and the Duck in 2005.
As of yet, Robinson is directing the adaptation of the book The Rum Diary and is working with actors like Johnny Depp and Aaron Eckhart. The movie is scheduled to release sometime in 2011.
Bruce Robinson’s Personal Life:
Bruce Robinson was married twice in his lifetime. His first wife was Lesley Anne-Down whom he married in 1969. They got divorced ten years later and Robinson then married Sophie Wildham in 1984. They had two children together, Lily and Willoughby.

Bruce Jenner
Bruce Jenner Biography:
It is said that a man’s passion can surface in numerous forms. Such is certainly the case with Olympic Gold medal winner Bruce Jenner. Bruce William Jenner was born on the 28th of October in 1949 as the son of William Jenner in the town of Mount Kisco in New York. William Jenner had a successful pole vaulting career in the army and was perhaps the source of inspiration for his son. Young Bruce attended Sleepy Hollow High School at first before moving to Connecticut and attending Newtown High School. He displayed a certain aptitude for athletics in his early years and this secured him a football scholarship at Graceland University. It was a knee injury that he suffered while playing college football that forced him to enter the decathlon. Bruce Jenner was mentored by L.D Weldon—the first person to recognize Jenner’s dedication and athletic abilities. His confidence made Jenner to enter and to secure fifth place in the 1970 Drake relays.

Bruce Jenner Career:
In the prime of his athletic shape, Jenner won himself the nick name of “Bruiser” and used to train for 7 hours every day. His commendable efforts paid off when he won gold in the Summer Olympics of 1976. That particular edition of the Olympics took place in Montreal and America had only one Gold winner that year: Bruce Jenner. Needless to say that was his first step towards becoming the celebrity that he is today. The name that he made for himself as an athlete is something that is revered even today by his fans. Due to him becoming the American hero, Bruce was awarded the James E. Sullivan award for amateur athlete. However as an Olympic contestant, he could not accept any sponsorship offers and thus his life did not enjoy an abundant cash flow. In an effort to change that, he forfeited any chance of having to compete in the Olympics again and started looking for endorsements. His first advertisement deal was with the popular breakfast cereal Wheaties.

Bruce Jenner’s Celebrity and Appearances:
The national recognition that he gained gave him the opportunity to star in the 1980 musical comedy Can’t Stop the Music. This musical was based on the disco group named as The VSillage People and was Jenner’s first appearance in a leading role. Unfortunately, the movie did not do so well in the box office and similar opportunities became scarce for Jenner.
Nevertheless he made his way into the field of television cinema. He took a part in the 1980s production The Golden Moment: An Olympic Love Story. He also had a role in the 1981 film Grambling White Tiger. In 1986 he had the honor of being inducted into the U.S Olympic Hall of Fame. His accomplishments went a step further when he played the character of Officer Steve McLeish in the police drama CHiPs. He also appeared in video games such as Olympic Decathlon and Bruce Jenner’s World Class Decathlon.
The fact that Bruce enjoyed the diversity of life was proven by the fact that he was also a race car driver once upon a time. He was affiliated with the IMSA camel GT series and in 1986 had won a twelve hour race with a Seven-Eleven Roush racing Ford Mustang.
He appeared in reality series such as the American Sportsman and was also given a role in the 2002 game show The Weakest Link. Bruce Jenner’s latest contract is with the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians which is aired on E! network.

Bruce Jenner’s Personal Life:
His first wife was Chrystie Jenner with whom he had his first son and daughter. Their relationship came to an end in 1980. In the following year, Bruce married Linda Thompson with whom he had two sons, Brandon and Brody Jenner. Their marriage lasted for only two years and it was another nine years before Bruce settled down with Kris Jenner. The two of them now live in Calabasas, California with their two children.

Bruce Lourne Campbell was born on the 22nd of June, 1958 in Birmingham, Michigan and was the youngest son of Loanne Louise and Charles Newton Campbell. Charles happened to be an amateur actor himself and had most probably given inspiration to Bruce from an early age. By the time he was 14, he had taken part in a community theatre production King and I which was a moderate success causing him to appear in several other local theatre productions.
Bruce Campbell Career:
He attended Wylie E. Groves High School where, not surprisingly, he took an active part in the school drama club. It was there that he befriended fellow drama lover Sam Riami with whom he would go on and achieve enormous success. However, he continued his education and went to Western Michigan University where he studied drama. When he came back, he teamed up with Riami and other members of their family to produce the horror comedy The Evil Dead. This could be considered as the first big breakthrough in his career as the movie ended being endorsed by horror novelist Stephen King. Four years after the movie was released, it began to attract serious attention from the public. In fact, it had gone on to become #1 in the U.K. the film’s success spread to the U.S and this initiated the filming of the two sequels Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness.

Robert Redford

Hollywood has been the place for quite a lot of promising faces. Some of them multi-talented, others superbly talented at what they do and some very good at recognising other’s talents! It has never let us down as a place to look where extra ordinary talents prevail. One of them is Robert Redford.

Robert Redford Bio
He was the child of Charles Robert Redford and Martha Hart. Born on 18th August, 1936; Charles Robert Redford Jr. or better known as Robert Redford is truly a man of numerous talents. He is not only known as a successful actor but also as a businessman, film director, film producer, environmentalist and a modern day philanthropist.

He lost his mother right after he graduated high school. He studied at the Pratt Institute of Art and also lived a painter's life in Europe. He then studied acting in New York at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

Robert Redford Movies
Like many stars Robert Redford began his career in the culturally dynamic New York City where he would find work in both theatre and stage. Such experiences teamed up with his all-American good looks led him to success in movies and TV roles.

Starting from 1959, he began to gain popularity in television. He played small roles in many sensational TV series such as The Untouchables, Whispering Smith and Playhouse 90 amongst others.

His first opportunity to act in a feature role came in 1962 when he got to perform as Private Roy Loomis in the war drama War Hunt. Three years following his success in the movie he starred in the 1965 drama Inside Daisy Clover.

He gained national recognition for his role of Owen Legate in This Property Is Condemned, Paul Bratter in Barefoot in the Park and Norman “Sonny” Steele in The Electric Horseman. But soon Redford became aware of exactly how mundane and repetitive his acting roles had become. As a result he turned down many roles before he finally found his breakthrough in the form of the Sundance Kid in the William Goldman production of The Sundance Kid. It was because of this role that he got his reputation as a charming, reliable actor.

But Redford did suffer much after that because of less than top notch films like Downhill Racer, Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here and Little Fauss and Big Halsy. Although the five years up to 1972 were not his most successful years he managed to turn his fate around by acting in movies like The Way We Were and The Sting. Both were filmed in 1973 and made Redford number one in the box office. He was nominated for Oscar for his role in The Sting.
Robert Redford as a Director
Robert Redford long nurtured an urge to work on both sides of the lens and so began his directing career with the release of the Ordinary people in the 1980s. He won the Academy award for the best director for this drama which was about the misfortunes of an upper-middle class family.

Robert Redford also directed The Milagro Beanfield War in the late 1980s. The war drama was well received by critics but it did not receive the much expected gratitude form the box office.

Robert Redford Wives
Robert Redford first married Lola van Wagenen in 1958 and had 4 children: Scott, Shauna, Jamey and Amy. Scott died young because of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Redford was divorced in 1985 and married Sibylle Szaggars in 2009.

Redford is very much politically active and is a well known liberalist. Redford was quite successful throughout his life and used the majority of his wealth to buy the entire Utah property, where he built the Sundance ski resort. In 1980 he also established the Sundance Institute there for aspiring film-makers.

Robert Mitchum

Some stars shine forever. Time cannot swallow the brightness they emit. One such star is Robert Mitchum. Robert Charles Durman Mitchum was born on 6th August, 1917; Also known as Mitch, Robert Mitchum was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. His father, James Thomas Mitchum was a railroad worker who was also a devout Methodist. His mother was Ann Harriet who had given birth to his sister Julie.

His father tragically died in a train accident when he was less than two years old. After the death of his father, his mother returned to Connecticut, as she was pregnant at that time and married a former Army major who helped her take care of her family. She was soon employed as a linotype operator when her children were old enough to live without her constant attention.

Of his siblings, Robert was the most adventurous and was a prankster who often got into trouble. Due his agile and wild nature he found and tried a lot of jobs, but monotonous routines did not satisfy his passion. In fact his work at Lockheed Aircraft caused him temporary blindness due to the excess stress.

Robert Mitchum's acting career mainly began in Long Beach, California where he appeared in numerous TV programs and commercials. The captivating good looks and the film noir type hairstyle all blended in with the roles he played. His first film noir crime movie was When Strangers Marry where he played the role of a serial killer.

Next was Undercurrent where he played the role of a sensitive young man troubled by his surroundings and the affairs of his brother and his suspicious wife.

The movies that he took part in the following years were of a different sort. The 1946 love drama The Locket, witnessed him playing the role of a bitter ex-husband; it was quite well received by the critics of that time. It is also said that Mitchum was comfortable in his role in the 1947 suspense thriller Pursued where he played the role of a lone man who had trouble getting his memory back when he finally realised his actual aim was to hunt down the ones responsible for his family’s death.

The biggest breakthrough of his career followed shortly with the release of Crossfire in 1947, where he played the role of a soldier who was part of a group that had unlawfully murdered Jews. The film pointed out the flaws in army training and their inability t cope with difficult situations. It was directed by Edward Dmytryk and was good enough to have received five Academy Award nominations.

His brief prison experience in 1948 had made way for an unlikely source of inspiration for the 1949 drama movie She Shoulda Said No! Later it was proved that he was unjustly accused and all his charges were dropped. The people associated with him then were a bit uncomfortable with this situation but it did nothing to slow down his career.

The expression of utter tranquility that always haunted his eyes was something that always drew great public admiration. Not only did he succeed as an actor but he was well known as a composer and a singer as well. He released an album named Calypso in 1957 and also recorded a song named the The Ballad of Thunder Road which received quite a lot of accolade in the American music industry.

He was married to Dorothy Spence throughout his life and the couple was quite happy given the troubled road they had to go through. He died on 1st July, 1997 as a result of cancer and other lung complications, leaving behind his three children James, Christopher and Petrina Mitchum. Both of Robert’s siblings happened to grow up to be successful actors themselves. Both of them along with Robert’s children are an undeniable part of their legacy along with almost 100 productions that he was a part of.

Robert Michael Sheehan
Robert Michael Sheehan, mostly credited as Robert Sheehan, is probably the only actor who has been quoted voicing his doubts with his acting career and ‘waiting’ to see how it goes. Born in 7th January 1988 in Portlaoise in Ireland, the Irish actor is best known for the role he played as Nathan Young in the film misfits and also Cherry bomb, a 2009 film.

Robert Sheehan's father, who is now a retired police officer, and his mom, who is a registrar in a health board live a normal Portlaoise life, while Robert lives in London, right in the middle of celebrity and all its bittersweet moments. Robert Sheehan has an elder brother Brendan Sheehan and is a broker.

Sheehan was 14 years of age when he set out into acting when he played alongside Aidan Quinn in Song for a Raggy Boy. After that he did clutch of amateur and other professional projects like a Dublin, Ghostwood, An Creatur and Summer of the Flying Saucer. In 2008, he featured bitter sweet as Liam, a comedy drama and in 2009 he appeared as BJ in a channel 4 trilology called red riding.

Sheehan’s big break in his acting career came in 2010 when he became cast as Nathan, the petty delinquent in channel 4 misfits. This last minute chance to play this role rocketed Sheehan’s acting career and put him on the fame pedestal. He took the acting world by storm which got him an IFTA award in the rising star category. He is also nominated for BAFTA awards in the category of ‘male supporting actor’, which of course, will be another feather on the cap of his acting career.

Robert Sheehan has also played roles in thriller films. In 2011, he played a role in season of the witch, a US thriller. He is set to play a role in another British-Italian thriller, bleak sea, which will be released sometime in the year. It was announced in April 2011 that Robert Sheehan will be coming back with the fourth season of misfits.

Even with all those roles he has had in other films, Sheehan is still known as Nathan of misfits to the public. It’s no wonder his success in acting is entirely attributed to that series. To them that know him, Robert Sheehan is said to have an easy personality that is engaging at the same time. He’s good company and fun and most people find him easy going and the gentle mockery of his surrounding and also himself keep people around him. Like any other risen celeb, he is getting adjusted to the life of signing autographs, parties, waving and smiling in public and of course, public attention and follow up to every little business of his.

Attention from the public is somewhat overwhelming at first, but one gets used as the go on. Robert Sheehan is quoted saying how immune he has become to public attention and opinion. With his looks and status as a celebrity, you are sure to find many girls and women swooning over him. Sheehan had to burst their bubble by announcing his ‘happily taken’ status. He met his girlfriend, who is a horse handler, when they were preparing to act the film’ the season of the witch’. Apparently neither he nor Nicholas Cage had horse riding skills and training was part of the preparation. The horse handler stole Sheehan’s heart then and at the look of things, she is not about to give it back. Even with their busy work schedules and all, they still manage to see each other as she comes over with her daughter for the weekend.

When Robert Sheehan said he isn’t that much into acting and will have to wait and see what opens up, he didn’t know that acting would open up so many doors for him, including love. So maybe after all, he was meant to be an actor.

Bruce Lee is one of the biggest and most influential names in the martial arts industry and a great cultural promoter and icon.

He was born to a Hong Kong heritage and he was raised in Hong Kong till he was 18. Lee was the fourth of Chuen and Grace’s five children. His siblings were Agnes, Robert, Phoebe and Peter.
In Hong Kong, Bruce Lee took part in films by playing children’s roles like in the film the Birth Of Mankind (1946) when he was five. When Bruce Lee was twelve, he was roughened up by a street gang on his way to Tak Sun School where he was attending classes. This led him to taking up martial arts for self defense.

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 07:49:27 +0000

Bruce Dern
In the acting circles, there are perhaps very few people who have lived a professional career as diverse and as illustrious as that of Bruce MacLeish Dern. Born on the 4th of June 1986, it is considered that Bruce Dern was born into one of the most unique Scottish German families. Bruce Dern's mother Jean nee MacLeish was of Scottish descent and was the granddaughter of Archibald MacLeish, a well known Scottish poet. His father on the other hand was John Dern, son of a Secretary of War. Dern attended New Trier Township High at east Winnekota, Illinois. In his early years, he also displayed proficiency on the race circuit as a long distance runner.

Bruce Dern had begun his acting career with Lyle Kessler in the production of Waiting for Godot and had also made some unaccredited appearances in the TV series Wild River. The 1960s was a very prominent period of Dern’s life. Not only had he appeared in numerous TV shows such as in Route 66 and Naked City, he had also committed in his second marriage to Diane Ladd. The name of his first wife was Marie Dean with whom he had shared an extremely short married life.

In 1964, Dern also landed with the opportunity to work with the renowned director, Alfred Hitchcock in the psychological thriller named Marnie. This could very well be considered to be the point of his career when he had decided on the type of role that brought out the best of his acting abilities.

As his fans are very well aware of, he was infamous for the rest of his acting career for playing the notorious villains. His choice of villains was set apart by the fact that he always played those characters that seemed to suffer from psychiatric issues. It seemed that Bruce Dern was inbred with the ability to don a personality that not only aroused the audience’s emotions but also sometimes received more accolade than the actual heroes of the movie.
Such can be deduced from his character Will Penny in the 1968 thriller Psychout. In that same year he also accepted the role as a villain opposite to the legendary Clive Eastwood in the action thriller Hang them High.

In 1969 he got divorced from Dianne Ladd with whom he had two daughters. His eldest daughter drowned in a tragic accident while being only 18 months of age. His second daughter was born in 1967 and was christened Laura Dern. He remarried the same year to Andrea Beckett.

In 1972 he starred in The Cowboys where he once again displayed his daring by playing the wildly unpopular role of the killer of John Wayne.

He also appeared in the sci-fi movie Silent Running where he portrayed the character of Freeman Lowell, the guardian of Earth’s last forests.

Bruce Dern's somewhat lavish ancestry enabled him to play the role of millionaire Ton Buchanan in the 1974 remake of The Great Gatsby. The movie was directed by F Scotts Fitzgerald and he was most probably appointed for the role because of his brilliant performance as Jack Nicholson’s brother in The King of the Marvin Garden. In fact the top critics at that time had argued that Dern might have done a better job than Robert Redford who had the main role in the movie!

In 1977 Bruce Dern played a vital role in the psychology thriller Black Sunday. He also had the opportunity to work on Family Plot, the last movie ever directed by Alfred Hitchcock as a result of his deteriorating health.

In late 2001 Bruce Dern was awarded a star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame along with his wife and daughter. In the preceding year he received the Legends Award at the Gold Coast International Film Festival. This just goes to show how well respected the 75 year old actor is in his community.

Robert Wisdom actor biography
Robert Wisdom is one of those actors who bring a completely new perspective to the canvas of American cinema. Very much passionate and creative, his acting skills have gained a lot of praise in recent years and he has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. He is of Jamaican ancestry but was born in Washington D.C on September 14th 1953. He is the second oldest of the three children. He spent his teenage years in Washington where he attended St. Alban’s school. It was when he went to seek college education at Columbia University that he had to settle in the exciting and dynamic, New York City. He completed his bachelors having done a double major in history and economics.

Robert Wisdom movies
He began to consider his acting career in the early 1990s. His first acting opportunity came when he had the opportunity to play the role of Mort in the 1994 movie, Clean Slate. From there onwards, as his acting portfolio began to grow, so did his reputation as a dedicated and talented actor. He played the role of Bobby Washington in the 1996 comedy That Thing you Do and went on to don the personality of Slim in the 1999 action thriller The Heist. He made sure that his experiences as an actor are quite extensive, making sure to play the roles of a wide range of characters. This is something that can be proved by his appearance in the 2003 comedy Duplex where he got the opportunity to work with notable actresses like Ben Stiller and Drew Barrymore. He had the small role of a police officer but then again there is the phrase, “There are no small roles, only small actors”—something Robert Wisdom was not.
He played the role of Carl Dayton n the 2004 horror flick of The Forgotten. He did have some experience in the horror department this decade as he played the role of Officer Peter in the infamous Saw IV.

He has appeared in the crime drama series of Law and Order back in 2009 posing as Father Theo. With his solemn looks and deep voice, he did bring flavor to the character. He appeared in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit where he played the role of a priest who demanded justice for his step daughter--the victim of heinous war crimes. He also made an appearance as Angel Uriel in season 4 of the biblical drama Supernatural. Such is the diversity of the characters that he plays and such is his talent that he does justice to the role regardless of whether he is posing as Vaughn in the action spy thriller of “Burn Notice” or whether he is playing the role of Lechero in the award winning TV series, Prison Break.

Landing guest appearances so frequently has led to him securing more influential roles. He currently stars in the HBO production of The Wire where he plays the role of Howard Bunny Colvin. This particular role has enabled him to make a bigger name for himself as his fan base enjoys a significant increase in numbers. He recently performed in The Hawk is Dying at the Sundance film festival alongside Michael Pitt, Paul Giamatti and Michelle Williams. The highlight of this 6’2” inch tall Jamaican’s career may have been his performance in the Oscar award winning movie of Ray which was produced back in 2004. He had starred alongside Jamie Foxx in that critically acclaimed production.
