Grey Griffin was born in Fort Ord, California. She is a singer and well-known voice actress. She was raised by her grandmother through her difficult childhood because her mother was a drug addict. Her grandmother was a singer and performed often with Tito Puente. Grey was highly interested in goth bands, mostly The Cure. Her mother, however, born-again Pentecostal, strictly forbade Grey to listen to goth music. In her late teens, she sang gospel songs. Thanks to that, she became interested in stand-up comedy and started to perform it. She also had a talent for voice impressions, which led to voice acting.

Griffin started in a few animation series and, since then, has been featured in numerous video games.

She is best-known for providing the voice of "Vicky" in the Nickelodeon TV series, "Fairly OddParents" (2001-2013), as well as "Mandy" in the Cartoon Network TV show, "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy" (2001 - 2007). She voiced "Mandy" again in two more films about Billy and Mandy, "Billy and Mandy Big Boogie Adventure" (2007) and "The Grim Adventures of KND" (2007), opposite Richard Steven Horvitz (Billy) and Greg Eagles (Grim).

In 2002, Grey DeLisle married musician Murry Hammond, the bassist for the band, Old 97's. Their first child, Jefferson Texas Hammond, was born in 2007, in Los Angeles, California.

Jaina Lee Ortiz was born Jessica Ortiz at Fort Ord army base in California and was raised in The Bronx, New York. The only child of first generation Puerto Rican parents, Ortiz spent her early years learning Salsa at a dance studio. What started out as a hobby, later turned into a profession and by her teens, she was instructing and performing internationally. Although she excelled at dance, Ortiz was drawn towards acting and was determined to pursue it professionally.

At the age of 16, Ortiz made her entrance into the world of acting by appearing in student films. Several years later, she began training at Maggie Flanigan Studios, specializing in the Meisner technique. After completing two years of study, Ortiz made her theatrical debut in an off-Broadway play. Soon afterwards, she relocated to California where she was cast in the VH1 reality show, Scream Queens 2, in which she competed against other aspiring actresses for an upcoming movie role. Ortiz ended the season as a finalist and went on to appear in several national television commercials while also continuing to perform in local theatrical productions.

In late 2013, Ortiz was cast as a series regular in Chris Carter's The After for Amazon Studios. Although the pilot was green-lit to series, the decision was later reversed in January 2015. In March 2015, Ortiz was cast as the female lead opposite Morris Chestnut for the pilot turned series, Rosewood, which is scheduled to air on Fox in the fall of 2015.

It took a summer of acting in a children's theater group to convince Matthew Morrison that he wanted to become an actor. He auditioned and attended Orange County High School of the Arts, and followed that with NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, although he didn't enjoy his college foray. Despite a regulation that students couldn't audition in the first two years at NYU, he got himself an agent and dropped out from NYU. His musical debut was in the musical version of Footloose (1984), which was then followed by "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." His big break, however, was in "Hairspray" when he landed the part of "Link Larkin." It was after this role that he made a debut into the television and film world, with small roles in Sex and the City (1998), Hack (2002), Encino Man (1992), and others. His self-proclaimed favorite role he did in television was in Once Upon a Mattress (2005), a musical for TV that starred Carol Burnett. He was nominated for a Tony for his role in "The Light in the Piazza" and eventually left the show in late 2005. He dabbled some more in roles among the television, film, and theater world. After starring in the Lincoln Center production of "South Pacific" as "Lieutenant Cable" in 2008, he took on the role of "Will Schuester" in the upcoming Fox series Glee (2009), which premiers in fall 2009.
