Aaron was born in Ft. Worth, Texas in 1974. Raised in a strong Christian household, he went to church religiously every Sunday and Wednesday. It was there that he felt a connection with the stage. Watching plays performed by the church drama team he knew he had to be a part. At six years old he was already performing in front of the crowds. These elements and a strict upbringing brought about a desire to put pen to paper. He wrote many things that would never be brought to fruition until he was sixteen.
At age seventeen, Aaron would begin training other actors in what would become known as Human Videos. These were similar to watching music videos of your favorite songs acted out live on stage. At this point he knew he had to direct stage. At eighteen, Aaron had directed his first Human Video to a standing room only live audience at Willow Springs Church in Ft. Worth.
At twenty he had become a full scale writer. Writing and Directing plays to be performed at several different venues throughout the Dallas, Ft. Worth area. He is best known for his playwright entitled Victory, which centered upon the supernatural aspects of the Crucifixion. Limited only by his imagination, crowds would see an interpretation as they had never seen it before.
It was at this point that he also found a love of film. He became intrigued by special effects and visuals brought to life by the camera. Due to limited budgets, and an Engineer by trade, he began to create his own practical effects out of his garage. Armed with only a camcorder, he would film his effects to see their effectiveness on screen. Alas, his bond with the world of film would become stronger.
Aaron is currently working on a horror/thriller entitled We Are Not The Only, which should be completed by the end of 2008. He says he would like to pay homage to all the scary movies he grew up with and create an original story that would stick in the minds of all who see it for years to come. This project is tentatively scheduled for shooting in late 2009.- Aaryn-Nicole Cox was born on 17 March 2011 in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. She is an actress, known for The Inflicted (2012).

Born in Fort Worth, TX, in 1907, Adrienne Ames hit Hollywood in the late 1920s. Although her career only lasted about ten years, she crammed a lot of living into it--high-profile marriages (and divorces) and her reputation as a clothes horse and glamour queen par excellence far outshone her reputation as an actress.
In 1933 she married Bruce Cabot after leaving her second husband, a rich New York City stockbroker, but she and Cabot only lasted four years. In her divorce she told the court that the main reason she left him was that he was a violent, uncontrollable drunk. In 1938 the pair appeared before a US Tax Appeals Board to explain why she wrote off more than $9000 in wardrobe and jewelry on her 1934 tax form, which she claimed was necessary for "professional reasons" (as was her maid). She claimed that her "daily expenses" included flowers, massages, taxis and beauty work.
Her career lasted from 1929-40, during which she appeared in about 30 films, mostly "B" pictures. The best-known of her movies would probably be You're Telling Me! (1934) with W.C. Fields. After her film career ended she worked as a radio commentator.
She died in New York City in 1947 after a long illness.- Aileen Burdock was born in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. Aileen is an actor, known for Euphoria (2019), Grey's Anatomy (2005) and The Guilty (2021).

Allie Gonino was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and grew up in the small Dallas suburb of Heath. As the youngest of three half-siblings, Allie knew what she wanted out of life, very early on. The arts have always been a strong and varied passion for her, and at the ripe age of four, an unexpected encounter with the pre-fame country band, The Dixie Chicks, was the trigger that jump started Allie's move into music. The meeting ignited a spark in her, and after hearing Martie Maguire play the fiddle, Allie asked her mom for violin lessons. Growing up, as a dancer she studied ballet, hip-hop, and jazz, played violin in the Dallas Youth Orchestra, and regularly performed country music at local opry houses. Music has been Allie's biggest influence in every aspect of life, though it wasn't the only art form that inspired her from a young age. She credits the classic film, 'The Wizard of Oz', for her love of acting. Her drive and talent grew past her hometown of Heath, and by the time she was sixteen, Allie and her mom made the move to Los Angeles. The Stunners marked the next chapter in Allie's life. In 2007, Allie's rep received a call from Colleen Fitzpatrick, (AKA pop singer Vitamin C), who was looking to start an all-girl pop group. After an audition, Allie agreed to join, and the roller coaster ride began. The Stunners were initially signed to Columbia Records, then later to Universal Republic. During their run, they released an EP and four music videos, (two of which the girls wrote, directed, and produced themselves - sans record label.) They were played on numerous Top 40 radio stations, and opened for Justin Bieber on his 'My World Tour' in 2010. The band parted ways in 2011 when Allie booked the role as Laurel Mercer on ABC Family's original series, "The Lying Game." Though the show was canceled after a season and a half, she continues to split her time between acting, creating music with her folk band The Good Mad, as well as a new solo music venture. Yoga, reading, writing, dancing, and traveling can be found at the top of her to-do list when she's not working. Allie is also active in raising awareness about climate change, and the global water crisis, and works closely with The Thirst Project, a non-profit organization that builds wells in developing countries.- Actress

He began his career in regional theater at the age of 8.
At 18 he moved to Los Angeles to play defensive end for Occidental College. At the time he had no plans to pursue acting as a career. He sought work in TV and commercials mainly to support his goal of getting a college degree. He hope was to someday become a professor. His football career ended after his junior year due to an abdominal injury and a series of concussions.
He graduated from Occidental Magna Cum Laude and was nominated for the Rhodes Scholarship, but upon graduation things were going well in Hollywood so he stayed with it. He saw himself as more of a work-a-day character actor than a leading man. Expecting to rely on union health insurance and contracts for the rest of his life, he became heavily involved in the politics of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. He helped drive several campaigns for leaders of the various pro-merger and moderate factions, including those of Melissa Gilbert, Morgan Fairchild, and Roberta Reordan. He chaired AFTRA's New Technology Committee for several years, held a seat in the AFTRA strategy cabinet, and played a support role in preventing a major work stoppage following the writer's strike of 2007. Not expecting his coalition to be successful and anticipating the town to shut down, he enrolled in law school. He graduated in less than two years while still helping run the union and remaining active as an actor. He also won numerous accolades as an interscholastic Trial Advocate, leading his law school to their first national tournament championship.
In 2010 he left Los Angeles to pursue a career in trial law in Nashville, Tennessee. He was voted on to the board of the AFTRA local and was there when the two unions merged, a personal goal of his for over a decade. Shortly thereafter he was unanimously voted Vice President of the new SAG-AFTRA Nashville.
He closed his law practice and joined the litigation consulting practice of actress/playwright Katherine James and her partner, Alan Blumenfeld. He now teaches trial skills in some of America's best law firms, as well as within law schools an for attorney trade associations. He prepares attorney's and witnesses for trial and deposition in high-stakes litigation, showing them how to honestly and sincerely tell their story within the restraints of the rules of the courtroom. Under the moniker "The Advocate" he produces internet videos for law students seeking to learn courtroom technique. He also still works in TV/film in the Southeastern market. - Actor

After moving to Austin Texas in 1986 and enrolling in college at Texas State University in San Marcos, he studied Political Science. He eventually found work in the U.S. Senate and National Wildlife Federation in Washington, D.C. Despite the excitement of working in the nation's capitol, Shapter was still drawn to the arts. After realizing that his true talents had nothing to do with what he learned in college, Shapter began to collect cameras and experiment with lighting. After graduating from college in 1992, Shapter quickly began career as a professional photographer specializing in music and fashion photography.
As Shapter began to garner recognition from magazine editors and ad agencies in New York and abroad, his career gained momentum that lead to work in other markets including Barcelona, London and Los Angeles. After working non-stop for nearly 15 years in the photography market, Shapter felt it was time to turn his attention to his very first passion, filmmaking. His first effort, the critically acclaimed 2006 documentary "Before the Music Dies" (featuring Dave Matthews, Eric Clapton, Erykah Badu, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Questlove and many other prominent musicians) was a hit with music fans worldwide. His follow-up film "Happiness Is" is an exploration of the truths and myths of "the pursuit of happiness" in America, opening across the U.S. in 2009.- Producer

Ben Tinsley is a Texas actor, singer, and writer. He is known for his 2023 role as the customer in Sheldon Mashugana & The Fakakta Alien, his 2021 role as an immigration attorney in Amaraica (streaming on HBO Max), and his 2020 role as Professor Boa in the film Jackman. He wrote, directed, and conducted the interviews for his film, Heart Of Christmas: The Secret History Of The Littlest Wiseman (2016).
Mr. Tinsley was born in Fort Worth, Texas, the son of two journalists - one of them a high-ranking editor at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. He spent a great portion of his young life around his father's newsroom. However, at age 9, Tinsley's life took a drastic musical turn. At his mother's behest, he auditioned for the acclaimed Texas Boys Choir and was admitted as a second soprano. He was taught to read music, sing and dance. He trained several hours a day, five days a week. Tinsley was classically trained in music for over two years under notable musicians such as TBC Executive Director Jack Noble White. After his initial training was concluded, he toured the country performing at multiple venues with the TBC during the school year. Tinsley also trained and performed with TBC during a special retreat in Mexico. One of Tinsley's most bizarre performance experiences took place when he and his fellow choirboys appeared on the old Charlie Rose Show out of Fort Worth TV station KXAS. Tinsley and a small group of his brother choirboys were on the show to promote "Miracles" - a musical extravaganza composed for the TBC by Gian Carlo Menotti. Charlie Rose at the time (in the 1970s) was known for recording multiple episodes back-to-back. And the Texas Boys Choir appeared on one episode of Rose's show the same day George Hamilton interviewed on another in promotion of his movie "Love At First Bite." The choirboys were astounded to see Hamilton exit Rose's studio in full Dracula vampire regalia - classic black cape and all. Hamilton swept past the boys into a waiting limo and drove away without a word. The boys looked after the departing limo, waiting several seconds before they blinked. The music bug stayed with Tinsley for his entire life after that - even during the 30 years he spent as a news reporter before retiring to focus on acting and music. At age 17, this passion led him to form a punk rock band with his high school friend Jimmy Payne. The group was first called "The Defunctions" and later re-titled "Blind Concept." Tinsley and Payne only recorded a few songs, "Bad Night In San Salvador" and "I Love You, I Love You, I'll Kill You" before breaking up. (The studio time was a birthday present from Tinsley's father and mother.) Missing the influence and structure of the Texas Boys Choir, Tinsley veered back into singing and performing in the drama department of Tarrant County Junior College South Campus in Fort Worth. He performed in various plays and musicals there between ages 19 and 20. In 2008 Tinsley started a one-man group "Ben Tinsley Orchestra," or "Ben-Tee-Oh" for short. He paid two producers to help him compose and record a multitude of songs - and continues to do so to this day. Tinsley's most notable tunes to date are "Skit Skat Skat," "Dumb Ass Ben," and "Butterflies All Of The Time." As of 2016 he continues to compose, perform and record on his own as finances allow. The second biggest musical turning point for Tinsley to date was 2015. when he was invited by Gary Bryant McGrath (executive director) to join the Texas Boys Choir alumni group, the award-winning Texas State Men And Boys Choir. Their first year, the TSMBC performed in The Littlest Wiseman annual nativity play at Scott Theatre in Fort Worth, Texas. It was there on the set of The Littlest Wiseman that Tinsley - who had long been working to transition into film journalism - made the decision to chronicle the history of the TLW play and its performers on film. Tinsley approached his friend and colleague, Texas Director Dan Millican, for advice on how to approach this task. Millican teamed him up with two of his young and talented film proteges, Alicia Pascual and Christine Copeland. Pascual became director of cinematography and Copeland became editor for Tinsley's film, "Heart Of Christmas: The Secret History Of The Littlest Wiseman." "Heart Of Christmas" has received high praise for its emotional core and attention to detail. It is a movie Texas reviewer Michael H. Price described as "a pageant in itself, a spoken-word scrapbook of reminiscences and observations." In April 2019, director Tim Sparks cast Tinsley as an Texan immigration attorney in the movie, "Amaraica: They Lost Our Baby." The movie, on HBO Max in September 2021, revolves around a young immigrant who tries to attain citizenship in the U.S. through a fraudulent marriage. The immigrant's ex-girlfriend shows up nine months pregnant claiming the baby is his. Tinsley's scenes were shot in downtown Fort Worth, Texas in the loaned offices of Tinsley's longtime friend and colleague, Immigration Attorney Francisco Hernandez.- Producer
