Jason Butler Harner was born in small town Elmira, New York in a working class family, later raised in Alexandria, Virginia while his parents worked in non-profits. His parents divorced when young, and each subsequently remarrying. He has one brother, and multiple former step-siblings. A self-described character actor interested in the fullness of any character, he is perhaps best known currently for his compelling turn as Agent Petty in Ozark (2017). After years of theatrical roles as kind-hearted, erudites like Tom in The Glass Menagerie with Sally Field, A.E.Housman in the American premiere of Stoppard's The Invention of Love, and the Broadway premiere of The Coast of Utopia as Ivan Turgenev, his film debut as Gordon Northcott in the Oscar nominated Changeling (2008) offered him his first conflicted killer. Over the years, there have been a variety of characters like the young Chris Walken in The Family Fang, English copilot in NON-STOP, tech billionaire in NEXT, as well as memorable arcs on Scandal (2012), The Walking Dead, The Handmaids Tale, Ray Donovan (2013), Homeland (2011) and The Walking Dead (2010). Continuing to return to the stage whenever possible, he has appeared on Broadway, in the West End, and around the country, most recently in the world premiere of Bernhardt/Hamlet opposite Janet McTeer. A worker constantly in search of challenging roles and material, independent films have taken him to remote Texas in indie-film festival hit The Big Bend and the roof of a skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles in the recent award-winning short Elevate. He holds an MFA from NYU's Graduate Acting Program, an undergraduate degree from Virginia Commonwealth University and splits time between Los Angeles and New York. A notable activist in causes including Keep Guns Off Campus, Razia's Ray of Hope, the right to access for healthcare and abortion in A is For and Physicians for Reproductive Health, and support of LGBTQ youth and families, as well as the accessibility of the theatre to a diverse audience, he continues to attempt to balance a creative career with any not-for-profit encouragement of the appreciation and improving of all.

Maria Pitillo was born in Elmira, NY, and grew up in Mahwah, NJ. She is of Italian and Irish descent.

Known primarily for her role as Audrey Timmonds in the monster flick Godzilla (1998), Maria got into show business after being invited by a girlfriend to audition for a part in a TV commercial. After a few tryouts, Maria was soon being featured in television commercials for everything from Pepto-Bismol and Chic Jeans, to working bit parts in film and on TV.

Maria was officially introduced to the world as Angel, daughter of a Brooklyn mobster, in the production of Spike of Bensonhurst (1988). After a recurring role on the ABC Soap Opera, Ryan's Hope (1975), Maria then packed her bags and set her sights on Sunny California. With small roles in a number of films and on TV, she got her first shot at a steady gig, and was cast as Gina in the ill-fated South of Sunset (1993), in which only one episode aired.

Two years later, having experienced Hollywood's cycle of boom-and-bust, the undeterred Maria successfully tackled the lead role in the TV movie, Crimes of Passion: Escape from Terror - The Teresa Stamper Story (1995) as well as the role of a mobsters daughter in another TV movie, Between Love and Honor (1995). Topping off a successful year, Maria landed the part of Alicia, on the Fox Network comedy, Partners (1995) co-starring Tate Donovan and Jon Cryer.

Maria made her name with a number of guest starring appearances on TV, and with leading roles in the films Dear God (1996), and Lew Grade's tear-jerker, Something to Believe In (1998). After Godzilla, Maria's career culminated in a recurring role on TV's Providence (1999) (2001-2002).

Hal Roach was born in 1892 in Elmira, New York. After working as a mule skinner, wrangler and gold prospector, among other things, he wound up in Hollywood and began picking up jobs as an extra in comedies, where he met comedian Harold Lloyd in 1913 in San Diego. By all accounts, including his own, he was a terrible actor, but he saw a future in the movie business and in Harold Lloyd. Roach came into a small inheritance and began producing, directing and writing a series of short film comedies, under the banner of Phun Philms (soon changed to Rolin, which lasted until 1922), starring Lloyd in early 1915. Initially these were abysmal, but with tremendous effort, the quality improved enough to be nominally financed and distributed by Pathe, which purchased Roach's product by the exposed foot of film. The Roach/Lloyd team morphed through two characters. The first, nominally tagged as "Will E. Work", proved hopeless; the second, "Lonesome Luke," an unabashed imitation of Charles Chaplin, proved more successful with each new release. Lloyd's increasing dissatisfaction with the Chaplin clone character irritated Roach to no end, and the two men engaged in a series of battles, walkouts and reconciliations. Ultimately Lloyd abandoned the character completely in 1917, creating his now-famous "Glasses" character, which met with even greater box-office success, much to the relief of Roach and Pathe. This new character hit a nerve with the post-war public as both the antithesis and complement to Chaplin, capturing the can-do optimism of the age. This enabled Roach to renegotiate the deal with Pathe and start his own production company, putting his little studio on a firm financial foundation. Hal Roach Productions became a unique entity in Hollywood. It operated as a sort of paternalistic boutique studio, releasing a surprising number of wildly popular shorts series and a handful of features. Quality was seldom compromised and his employees were treated as his most valuable asset.

Roach's relationship with his biggest earner was increasingly acrimonious after 1920 (among other things, Lloyd would bristle at Roach's demands to appear at the studio daily regardless of his production schedule). After achieving enormous success with features (interestingly, his only real feature flop of the 1930s was with General Spanky (1936), a very poorly conceived vehicle for the property), Lloyd had achieved superstar status by the standards of "The Roaring Twenties" and wanted his independence. The two men severed ties, with Roach retaining re-issue rights for Lloyd's shorts for the remainder of the decade. While both men built their careers together, it was Lloyd who first recognized his need for creative freedom, no longer needing Roach's financial support. This realization irked Roach, and from this point forward he found it difficult, if not impossible, to offer unadulterated praise for his former friend and star (while Lloyd himself was far more generous in his later praise of Roach, he, too, could be critical, if more accurate, in his recollections). Lloyd went on to much greater financial success at Paramount.

Despite facing the prospect of losing his biggest earner, Roach was already preoccupied with building his kiddie comedy series, Our Gang, which became an immediate hit with the public. By the time he turned 25 in 1917, Roach was wealthy and increasingly spending time away from his studio. He traveled extensively across Europe. By the early 1920s he had eclipsed Mack Sennett as the "King of Comedy" and created many of the most memorable comic series of all time. These included the team of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, Charley Chase, Edgar Kennedy, 'Snub' Pollard and especially the long-running Our Gang series (AKA "The Little Rascals" in TV distribution). Pathe, which distributed his films, shut down its U.S. operations after its domestic representative, Paul Brunet, returned to France in 1927. But Roach was able to secure an even better deal with MGM (his key competitor, Mack Sennett, was also distributed by Pathe, but he was unable to land a deal, ultimately declaring bankruptcy in 1933). For the next eleven years Roach shored up MGM's bottom line, although the deal was probably more beneficial to Roach. In the mid-'30s Roach became inexplicably enamored of 'Benito Mussolini', and sought to secure a business alliance with the fascist dictator's recently completed film complex, Cinecitta. After Roach asked for (and received) assurances from Mussolini that Italy wasn't about to seek sanctions against the Jews, the two men formed RAM ("Roach And Mussolini") Productions, a move that appalled the powers at MGM parent company, Leow's Inc. These events coincided with Roach selling off "Our Gang" to MGM and committing himself solely to feature film production. In September 1937, Il Duce's son, Vittorio Mussolini, visited Hollywood and Roach's studio threw a lavish party celebrating his 21st birthday. Soon afterward the Italian government took on an increasingly anti-Semitic stance and, in retribution, Leow's chairman Nicholas Schenck canceled his distribution deal. Roach signed an adequate deal with United Artists in May 1938 and redeemed his previous record of feature misfires with a string of big hits: Topper (1937) (and its lesser sequels), the prestigious Of Mice and Men (1939) and, most significantly, One Million B.C. (1940), which became the most profitable movie of the year. Despite the nearly unanimous condemnation by his industry peers, Roach stubbornly refused to re-examine his attitudes over his dealings with Mussolini, even in the aftermath of World War II (he proudly displayed an autographed portrait of the dictator in his home up until his death). His tried-and-true formula for success was tested by audience demands for longer feature-length productions, and by the early 1940s he was forced to try his hand at making low-budget, full-length screwball comedies, musicals and dramas, although he still kept turning out extended two-reel-plus comedies, which he tagged as "streamliners"; they failed to catch on with post-war audiences. By the 1950s he was producing mainly for television (My Little Margie (1952), Blondie (1957) and The Gale Storm Show: Oh! Susanna (1956), for example). His willingness to delve into TV production flew in the face of most of the major Hollywood studios of the day. He made a stab at retirement but his son, Hal Roach Jr., proved an inept businessman and drove the studio to the brink of bankruptcy by 1959. Roach returned and focused on facilities leasing and managing the TV rights of his film catalog.

In 1983 his company developed the first successful digital colorization process. Roach then became a producer for many TV series on the Disney Channel, and his company still produces most of their films and videos. He died peacefully just shy of his 101st birthday, telling stories right up until the end.

Hilfiger grew up as the second oldest of nine children in an Irish Catholic family in Elmira, a small town near Cornell University. His father was a watchmaker and his mother was a nurse. In 1969, Tommy Hilfiger bought jeans for $150 that he sold to local youth. The deal was completed quickly. Buoyed by the success of this campaign, he initially continued on this basis. With the saved profits, Hilfiger opened his first store in 1969, which he called the "People Store". There he offered young fashion for students. The business flourished and further branches were opened. In a short time, Hilfiger was the entrepreneur of a total of ten fashion stores. With the increased sales of the items, he had pants produced with his own label from the mid-1970s.

In 1979 he sold his chain to devote himself full-time to fashion design. He took the step of becoming self-employed as a fashion designer, even though he had never completed any fashion training. In 1984 he presented his first own collection - sporty clothing in a classic American look. Since then, this stylistic language has shaped Hilfiger's fashionable designs; it has also been referred to as "casual wear". His target group was made up accordingly: young people who live out their fun in life. His preferred colors also became all-American: the white, blue and red of the US national flag. His clothes were adorned with his own Hilfiger label. Sportiness, youth and lifestyle became the keywords that he used to promote his collections.

In the 1980s, Hilfiger fashion appealed primarily to middle-class Americans. At the same time, the enthusiasm spread to young African Americans, who were included in the target group advertising. From the 1990s onwards, the American fashion designer based his style on the college look of the east coast of his country, which he changed to a sporty look. The "Hilfiger" brand already had sales of $25 million in 1990. In 1992, Hilfiger took his company public. In 1995, the fashion designer was named Designer of the Year for men's fashion. In addition to the Fifi Award, he received other awards that document the success of Hilfiger's designs. Hilfiger has long been one of the prominent and important fashion designers. In 2000, his company achieved sales of around $200 million.

Collections for women, men and children followed, including tailored suits, underwear and comfortable sportswear. His patriotic look was also distributed in Europe and Germany. In addition, he had opened a new product line with accessories such as watches, which became increasingly important. Hilfiger sold his company to the investment firm Apax Partners for $1.6 billion in 2005. On December 12, 2008, he married former model, Dee Ocleppo. Together they became parents to a son, Sebastian Thomas. From his first marriage to Susie, Hilfiger was already the father of four more children, Alexandria, Richard, Elizabeth and Kathleen. In March 2010, the fashion group Hilfiger was taken over by Phillips-Van Heusen for the equivalent of 2.2 billion euros.

Jack Clifford (born John Clifford Cooley in 1888) had what one might call a "challenged childhood." He was in two orphanages, and seven foster homes from New York to Texas. Despite the early obstacles he became an American "headliner" (Orpheum Circuit) vaudeville performer, who was evidently pretty good. Part of his act was as a "rube," hard of hearing country bumpkin who created punch lines from misunderstood words, acted in skits, and sang. Rube became his nick name and in some cases his credited name. Shortly after his act included his then wife Miriam Wills. He started in about 1913, and in addition to his vaudeville acting, he began a successful movie career in Cecil B. DeMille's The Squaw Man (1914). For the next 40 years in addition to vaudeville and movies, he starred in the 1930 radio series KFWB Hi-Jinks As a hard of hearing Sheriff with such notables as Cliff Arquette, Billy Nelson, and Johnny Murray In the 30's "The Sheriff" toured California as a Representative for Gilmore Oil (Now Mobil Oil) also appearing at the Pomona Fair. The majority of movie appearances were just bit parts with the few notable exceptions. The exceptions were Dimples (1936) as Uncle Tom, a full length part with Bob Steel in The Sunrise Trail (1931), the part of Dog catcher Nubbins in Skippy (1931), The Lone Ranger (1949) series in 1949 and 1955, and 45 Minutes from Hollywood (1926) with Glenn Tryon. Keith Scott attributes the origin of the character "Foghorn Leghorn" to Clifford. Toward the end of his career when gigs began to dry up, his agent moved to Palm Springs. He retired to Temple City, California with His Wife Virginia (Meldrum) Clifford and died in 1974.

New York-born William Reynolds was a self-effacing editor with a distinguished sixty-year career in the motion picture industry, noted for his unobtrusive, seamless work on movies of every genre, from romantic melodramas to gangster films. A graduate of Princeton University, he started in the business, moving props as part of the 20th Century Fox swing gang. Displaying a keen interest in the art of editing, he was taken under the wing of the experienced Robert L. Simpson, whom he accompanied to Paramount as assistant in 1935. After just two years, Reynolds was promoted to full editor, his most prestigious assignment being Algiers (1938). In 1942, he moved across to 20th Century Fox, but wartime service put a temporary halt to his career. However, he did manage to sustain continuity by editing U.S. Army training films.

From 1946, Reynolds was part of a top-notch editing team assembled by Darryl F. Zanuck, himself a former editor and famous for his hands-on approach to post-production. During the remainder of his tenure at Fox, Reynolds cut some of the studio's best films, including the excellent sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951); and glossy romances and musicals like Three Coins in the Fountain (1954) and Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955). Reynolds was a frequent collaborator and preferred editor for directors like Robert Wise and Joshua Logan. He did some of his most acclaimed work after free-lancing for three years, back at Fox, on The Sound of Music (1965) -- winning an Oscar and caustically commenting, "when in doubt, cut to Julie Andrews" (NY Times, July 22 1997)). Free-lancing again from 1970, he edited the first half of The Godfather (1972) (Francis Ford Coppola assigned the second half to Peter Zinner) and The Sting (1973) (which Reynolds regarded as one of his most demanding assignments). However, towards the end of his career, he was also involved in several significant commercial failures: Heaven's Gate (1980) -- on which he also acted as executive producer, Pirates (1986) and Ishtar (1987). In 1977, Reynolds was named by his peers in a Film Comment poll as one of the three best-ever film editors.

Burt Gillett was an animator from the state of New York, and a notable director of animated short films. He directed about a 100 short films between 1920 and 1940, but is best remembered for directing "Three Little Pigs" (1933) for the Disney studio.

Gillett started his film career c. 1916, when he was hired by the animation studio "International Film Service" (1915-1921). It was a subsidiary company of the International News Service, owned by William Randolph Hearst (1863-1951). The studio focused on creating adaptations for then-popular comic strips, such as "Krazy Kat," "The Katzenjammer Kids," and "Happy Hooligan."

Gillett worked in relative obscurity, until 1929 when hired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios. Studio head Walt Disney was facing a problem at the time, because Ub Iwerks was the only experienced animator on the studio's staff. Walt decided to head to New York City and to offer employment to a number of experienced animators working in the city's studios. Gillett was the second animator to accept Walt's offer, following Ben Sharpsteen.

By the summer of 1929, Gillett had become on the Disney's leading directors. He took over control of the "Mickey Mouse" film series, starting with the short film "Wild Waves". In 1930, Gillett also started directing films in the "Silly Symphonies" film series, an anthology which focused on one-shot characters. His first film in the series was "Cannibal Capers", featuring the tribal dance of a cannibal tribe.

Two of Gillett's short films won the "Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film": "Flowers and Trees" (1932) and "Three Little Pigs" (1933). "Flowers and Trees" was the first commercially released film to be produced in the full-color three-strip Technicolor process, an is credited as a milestone in the development of color films. "Three Little Pigs" introduced Disney's version of the Big Bad Wolf (also known as "Zeke Wolf") and the Three Little Pigs. The characters later became regularly featured characters in Disney comic strips and comic books.

Due to his newfound fame in the animation industry, Gillett was offered a more lucrative position as the new studio head of the animation studio Van Beuren Studios. Gillett started working there in 1934, and helped the studio transition to producing only color cartoon shorts.

While at Van Beuren, Gillett introduced the film series "Rainbow Parade." It was a "Silly Symphonies"-style anthology series, produced fully in Technicolor. Gillett personally directed many of the series' films. His most notable works for the studio included the "Molly Moo-Cow" sub-series (1935-1936), three animated adaptation of the popular comic strip "Toonerville Folks" (1908-1955), and a few color films for Felix the Cat.

Gillett's policies at the Van Beuren studios were controversial at the time. In order to compete effectively with the Disney studio, Gillett adopted several of the methods and techniques used by Disney. This made the studio's products seem more modern, but their films were seen as derivative. Gillett also fired several animators who had failed to meet his quality standards. His most controversial policy was forcing employees to work overtime to complete films, without any compensation for the extra hours.

In the mid-1930s, the Animated Motion Picture Workers Union (AMPWU) filed a complain against Van Beuren with the National Labor Relations Board. Their complain was based on Gillett's policies, but the Board decided in favor of the studio management. Gillett celebrated his victory by firing union agitators.

The Van Beuren studio shut down in 1936, leaving Gillett temporarily unemployed. The studio had lost its main distributor, RKO Pictures, and was unable to find another distributor. RKO had signed an exclusive deal to distribute Disney's films, and most major film studios already had animation subsidiaries.

Gillett was re-hired by the Disney studio, and he returned to directing films. His most notable film during this period of his career was the horror comedy "Lonesome Ghosts" (1937). It featured Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy as ghost hunters. The film's ghosts were portrayed as malicious pranksters. The short has received a number of adaptations of its own, including scenes in Disney-related video games.

In 1938, Gillett was hired by the Walter Lantz Studio. He worked as a director for a hand full of films, most notably introducing the new character Lil' Eightball, as a caricature of an African-American child. The character starred in three animated shorts, but was then retired. Gillett also directed a few entries in the popular "Andy Panda" series.

Gillett retired from the animation industry in 1940, and lived the rest of his life out of the limelight. He died in 1971, at the age of 80. His fame in the animation industry endures, in part due to directing several highly regarded short films, and in part due to his pioneering work in producing color films. Animation histories often include both his accomplishments and his controversial decisions.

Over the years Todd Michael Smith has become as infamous as his horror films.

Smith has been an independent filmmaker for the past twenty five years. At the age of fourteen he joined the legendary Polonia Brothers making small independent horror films including the now infamous Splatter Farm.

Eventually he broke out on his own forming his own production company Regal Studios. With over fifteen films to his credit and the formation of The New Cinema Movement Todd gave up his production company in 2006 after suffering a stroke and going through corrective heart surgery.

In 2007 Todd wrote his first novel "The Writers" and then regrouped in 2008 forming New Cinema Productions with his friends Producer Shane Miles and Actor Steve McKenzie.

Today Todd remains one of the pillars of the underground film community and is sited by young filmmakers around the world as an inspiration and influence.
