Lawrence Mandley was born in Springfield, Illinois and grew up in Chicago. His first stage appearance was a school talent show when he was in 2nd grade. The song was "Tequila" and Lawrence sat on the floor, center stage with a wide brimmed straw hat covering his face as two 8th grade girls in calypso garb danced around him. At the key point in the song, Lawrence lifted his head and mouthed the word Tequila then, lower his head again. Every time this was done, it elicited a laugh that triggered a fuse in him that hasn't gone out yet and he is still pursuing. In his late teens and very early twenties, he sang with various vocal groups around Chicago and met with minimal success. Eventually, he decided to re-shift his focus and move to Los Angeles.

Back in those early L.A. days when Lawrence was doing messenger work, he happened onto an elevator in a building on Sunset Blvd. While looking down at his packages to figure out his first stop, a voice asked him: "What floor?" He looked up and it was Cary Grant. What does one say to Cary Grant? In this particular instance: "9 please. Thank you." Lawrence has gone on to work in commercials and numerous TV shows such as: Shameless, How I Met Your Mother, Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Lost, Flash Forward, Mad About You, ER, Brothers & Sisters and recurring roles on Seinfeld and Zeke & Luther. For his stage work, he has won the Drama-Logue Award for Best Actor for his role in the play Fanon's People. His film work has included roles in: For A Good Time, Call..., Midnight In The Garden Of Good & Evil and White Man's Burden. In addition, he is featured as Captain Mahoney in four Angel Business Time videos playing on Funny or Die. A major source of pride, reward and enjoyment for Lawrence was the time he spent working with the late MK Lewis. Not only teaching scene study classes in MK's Santa Monica studios but traveling to Germany three times and working with him at the Internationale Filmschule Koln.

Robert L. Hughes first left his imprint as an artist when he created several "Happenings" or environmental theatre pieces as an undergraduate at Whittier College in California. At the time, he was influenced by the international avant-garde theatre movement that included playwrights such as Albee, Pinter and Ionesco; by the ritual theater of Jerzy Grotowski and by the sound works of John Cage.

In Hughes' original work, Card Game, the audience was limited to fifty-two participants whose fate in the "Game" was partially determined by their "ticket" or luck of the draw from a deck of cards. The theatre piece put audience and actors both in situations that explored the balance and implications of fate and choice. The documentation of Card Game became an example of contemporary theatre in the curriculum at Whittier College and the piece turned out to be a forerunner of the reality entertainment programming that would become so dominant decades later.

Hughes then spent a year in New England and New York where he studied and performed at the Priscilla Beach summer stock theatre and participated in the theatre program at New York University.

Returning to California, Hughes began to land professional roles on stage and television and he founded the American Theatre Lab at Los Angeles with Isaac Dostis of the Sonia Moore Institute in New York as Co-Artistic Director. The Theatre Lab included both veteran and aspiring actors. While Dostis taught classes and directed productions based on the system of Constantine Stanislavski, Hughes continued to experiment with theatrical conventions and push the boundaries in the spirit of Cage and the Theatre of the Absurd. The improvisational work in sound, movement and scene development at Theatre Lab led to public performances of abstract "Human Orchestra" and movement pieces and culminated in the improvised one act play, To Colonize, which drew the praise of Pulitzer Prize-winning critic, Margaret Harford. It was during this period of experimentation that Hughes began to witness the therapeutic aspects of working with improvised sound and movement.

After leaving Theatre Lab, Hughes joined the L.A. improvisational group, Synergy Trust, an offshoot of The Committee and Second City. Synergy Trust was dedicated to developing the improvisational principles of Viola Spolin, Paul Sills and Del Close - who was a coach and participant with the group. Synergy Trust was less focused on commercial success and getting laughs than other improvisation groups at the time. They chose to experiment more with the leading-edge challenges of improvisation such as thematic development and the power of form to enhance content. These goals led to greater understanding of the elements of group creative dynamics, such as the importance of trust, how to forward the action, how to cooperate more effectively, how to take and relinquish the lead and how to uncover and celebrate original thought and action. It became apparent that the "holy grail" of effective group improvisation was synergy - when the results transcended and exceeded the sum of the parts. Individually and as a member of the troupe, Hughes conducted customized workshops on the synergy of effective improvisation for business professionals, the public, and students and professors at colleges and universities - including sessions at UCLA, UC Santa Cruz, Whittier College, The Santa Ana Unified School District and The Design Center in San Francisco.

When Synergy Trust disbanded, Hughes opened his own studio on Melrose Blvd. in Hollywood and for several years taught ongoing workshops for improvisational techniques, group creative dynamics and personal development to professional performers. Hughes' teachings at his studio on Melrose gained particular attention for their success in personal and spiritual development and he was asked to conduct several of his exercises at an international healing conference in Desert Hot Springs, California.

During this period of time on the West Coast, Hughes also taught Drama and Theatre History at two California High Schools and he directed numerous productions including the original rock musical, Eagle Boy.

Hughes' career as a performer included lead roles in stage productions throughout the U.S., numerous TV commercials, and guest appearances on episodic TV. He was a founding member of the La Mama Hollywood theater company and a charter member of Synergy Trust. He also delighted audiences with his stand-up act, The Crowd, at the Improvisation and Comedy Store in Hollywood during the golden age of stand-up comedy.

Hughes left Hollywood in the early 80s. Personal and relationship developments drove him to seek new challenges and he headed back to the East Coast - Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C. There, Hughes changed his career and venue, but continued his focus on creative dynamics, innovation and results as he played key roles in the communications revolution.

Moving into the corporate world with management positions at ROLM, Siemens, and then Lucent/Avaya, Hughes consistently drove substantial revenue and market-share gains through the design and implementation of innovative marketing and communications strategies and programs.

While at Siemens, Hughes led research and design for the first Siemens external web page and also their secure Intranet portal, the award-winning Route One - positioning them as an early global leader in E-Commerce.

During this period, Hughes was also a pioneer in Web publishing as the creator and editor of one of the Internet's first "zines" and "protoblog", the internationally acclaimed website, Life Raft.

Hughes was recruited by Lucent Technologies and he played a key role in building one of the most successful business-to-business brand campaigns in U.S. history. He provided cross-business leadership in development and delivery of solutions-focused marketing programs, branding and naming strategies, and lead-generation initiatives.

Hughes led a paradigm shift in the high-tech industry when he produced the international award-winning Lucent corporate identity video, "What's it going to take?" The video set a benchmark for corporate positioning with its humanized vision of the power of global networks. While at Lucent/Avaya, Hughes received the President's Team Leadership Award.

As the telecommunications industry began to contract, Hughes moved on and returned to the West Coast to be closer to his extended family and to spend more time with his wife and son, and he has returned to the entertainment industry and reunited with one of his first loves...acting.

After growing up with a challenged adolescence, and being a very shy young man, creativity and the fantasy world of movies was always a great escape for Troy. He began crafting stories in middle school and went on to win a Best Screenplay Award from the Purdue University statewide Literary Awards.

Troy got his first taste of acting in a large production play, the role of the reclusive Boo Radley, which was also one of his favorite actors, Robert Duvall's first roles on film. While dreaming of being an actor and still in college, he ran into legendary photographer, Dennis Stock, in a gas station in Indiana. After that, Troy decided that fate had told him he was interesting looking enough to act on screen.

He moved to Los Angeles where he studied for several years at Playhouse West (Founded by Robert Carnegie and Jeff Goldblum). Playhouse West was the last home of Sanford Meisner's Los Angeles based acting classes. During his time in Los Angeles he had the chance to work directly on stage, Film/TV, and in class with many great actors and directors whose names grace the screen today including people like James Franco, whose James Dean performance inspired him to study at Playhouse West. Troy received his Screen Actors Guild card with an uncredited background role in a scene with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Troy was cast as the lead in one of Matt Duffer's early short films Abraham's Boys (2009), before there was Stranger Things. Working with the unknown at the time, Duffer Brothers, is still a highlight of his considering how successful they have become and knowing he was a little piece of their Hollywood History makes him pinch himself still.

Troy was a Fan Favorite Unsub on Criminal Minds Awake (2015), who deserved another episode. Maybe they will still find the Skull Tattoo Man someday? He was also a lead character in a horror film called, The Blackout Experiment (2021), which was finally released in 2021 after several years of being shelved. It was released worldwide, dubbed in several languages, and can be found streaming or on DVD.

His best role so far on screen was in the film, Goin' Around (2022), released on Amazon Prime Rental in late 2024.

Troy now calls Atlanta and the Southeast home.

Victor J. is an American actor. Born in Hong Kong and immigrated to the United States when he was 6 years old. He grew up in Berkeley California, where an open attitude of cultural diversity and progressive thoughts were a norm. In his teenage years, he moved to the suburbs of Northern California, where inclusion and diversity were not as prevalent, at the time. Feeling stifled emotionally, culturally and intellectually, he left the suburbs and moved back to a more progressive community, eventually graduating from Skyline High School in Oakland California. Graduating with college degrees in biology and business, he became a business development executive in the biotechnology industry. Then upon a complete surprise, he received an introductory acting lesson from his ex-partner; there was never a thought or idea of becoming an actor prior. The acting bug bit hard, revealing the status quo as inadequate in fulfilling the personal desire to express the innate nature hidden within. Moonlighting an old life to pursue a new one, he studied at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, which eventually led to a decision to leave the corporate world to pursue a life, a passion for the craft and artistry of story-telling and acting.

Having made his feature film debut starring in the teen comedy Cavegirl Daniel Roebuck quickly realized that there was only one direction to travel in his career. Up!

Soon after Cavegirl, Roebuck established himself as one of the industry's youngest character actors with his haunting portrayal as the teenage killer, Samson in The River's Edge.

Daniel Roebuck was born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, A fan of movies and television from a very early age he was immediately drawn to the actors and comedians. As his obsession with performing grew his parents unwittingly fomented his future by gifting him with a cardboard TV on his seventh Christmas.

At the age of 10, he started performing in talent shows doing impressions of movie stars he loved. He joined a local circus two years later and made his debut as one of the youngest clowns in the country. Roebuck's clown act eventually segued into a magic act and he performed that throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.

It was only a matter of time before Roebuck discovered the theater and from that point he never looked back. Over the next few years while still in Pennsylvania, Roebuck continued to hone his craft, acting in, directing, and even writing over 40 plays. He also began performing stand up comedy.

Now, nearly 30 years later, Roebuck has amassed a substantial resume as an actor, writer and director. He has moved easily between all mediums having continued working on television, in movies and on the stage.

His film credits are myriad, having starred in blockbusters like The Fugitive, US Marshals,and final Destination, as well as popular titles including Agent Cody Banks and it's sequel, That's What I Am, Money Talks, Flash Of Genius and so many more.

Lately, Roebuck has enjoyed working in a number of horror movies - his favorite genre. He has collaborated with filmmaker Rob Zombie on Halloween, Halloween 2, Devil's Rejects, and Lords of Salem (as well as a commercial for AMDRO, the insecticide). He also appeared in Don Coscarelli's cult favorite Bubba Ho Tep as well as the director's Reggie's Tales and John Dies At The End.

Daniel has also been a familiar face on television for nearly 3 decades, he was a regular for three seasons on the evergreen hit drama, Matlock, portraying attorney 'Cliff Lewis," the junior partner of the law firm headed by Andy Griffith's beloved character, 'Ben Matlock.' Interestingly, his landing the role was the fulfillment of a promise made several years earlier with his first appearance on "Matlock" in its inaugural season. At that time, Roebuck was told that Griffith had been so impressed with his work that he would be back as a regular on the show. It took five seasons, two more guest shots as different characters, and a change of networks, but Griffith kept his promise and Roebuck indeed became a series regular.

He portrayed the irascible Rick Bettina on many episodes of Nash Bridges and in the fall of 2003 Daniel returned to series television as Pete Peterson, the gay owner of a local diner in A Minute With Stan Hooper.

As a television guest star, Daniel has played countless characters. Some of his most memorable are a cop who literally turns into a pig on Grimm, a Romulan on Star Trek, Next Generation, a gun toting hostage taker on NYPD Blue, a cranky studio owner on Sonny With A Chance and a grieving father on Glee. He played other memorable roles on New Adventures of Old Christine, NCIS, Ghost Whisperer, CSI, Boston Legal, CSI Miami, Law And Order, Desperate Housewives and Hot in Cleveland.

On the popular show, Lost, Roebuck portrayed the infamous Dr. Leslie Arzt, the aggravating science teacher whose explosive exit in the finale of the first season remains one of television's most surprising and talked about moments.

He has starred in dozens of TV Movies. Perhaps his most famous turn was his critically acclaimed portrayal of Jay Leno in The Late Shift. He stepped into another pair of famous shoes when he played Garry Marshall in Behind The Camera; Mork and Mindy, The Unauthorized Story. Other Movies for television include A Family Lost, A Glimpse Of Hell, Murder At The Presidio, Shredderman Rules, A Borrowed Life, Quints and many others. Daniel's voice over work includes Christmas Is Here Again (a film he also produced),The Haunted World Of El Super Beasto and the groundbreaking video game, L.A. Noire.

The theater remains Roebuck's first love and he has continued that passion in the Los Angeles area. He appeared in the world premiers of Sarcophagus and Crooks. He has also starred in No Time For Sergeants, Here Lies Jeremy Troy, Arsenic and Old Lace and The Man Who Came To Dinner among others. In 2006 Daniel founded THE Saint Francis Stage Company.

Behind the camera, Roebuck has produced, written and directed/co-directed a number of documentaries including Halloween: The Happy Haunting of America and it's sequel as well as Goolians, Movieland Memories and a number of documentaries for the Monsterama series.

Daniel has fulfilled nearly every dream of his childhood like appearing in Mad Magazine, becoming a toy and a Halloween mask and having his mug on a few trading cards.

When not performing, Roebuck writes articles about Horror Movies, raises two children, teaches The Audition is the Job Experience and mentors young actors.
