Kristy Swanson is an American actress from California. She has had an active acting career since the 1980s. Her most memorable role was playing the original version of Buffy Summers in the horror comedy "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1992).
Swanson was born in Mission Viejo, California, a planned community in Orange County. It is located in a hilly region, 49 miles (79 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. Swanson developed an interest in acting in early childhood. She started pursuing roles in television commercials at the age of 9, and first appeared in a commercial for doll houses. She continued to regularly appear in commercials for a few years.
Swanson received acting lessons from "The Actors Workshop", an acting school developed by Canadian actor R. J. Adams (1942 -2015). In 1984, Swanson started appearing in one-shot roles in television. She gained attention for playing Stephanie Brandon in the episode "On the Street" (1985) of the police procedural "Cagney & Lacey". Her character was a teenage prostitute who was considered a key witness in a murder trial. For this role Swanson was nominated for a Young performer award, the "Best Young Actress - Guest in a Television Series". The award was instead won by rival actress Jaclyn Bernstein.
In 1986, Swanson had the supporting role of Jennifer Davis in the television film "Mr. Boogedy", a ghost story about a haunted house in New England. She had a minor role in the teen comedy-drama film "Pretty in Pink" (1986). as the new love interest of the character Duckie Dale (played by Jon Cryer).

Swanson had her co-starring role in a film in "Deadly Friend" (1986), a science fiction horror film by famed director Wes Craven. It gained a cult following over the following decades.
Swanson's next starring role was in the psychological horror film "Flowers in the Attic" (1987), concerning children held captive by their abusive family. She played Cathy Dollanganger, the elder sister among the captives. The film earned about 15,2 million dollars at the domestic box office. There were plans for a sequel film, but it ended in development hell. In 1987, Swanson joined the cast of the soap opera Knots Landing (1979-1993), in the recurring role of Jody Campbell. She appeared in a total of 8 episodes, leaving the series in 1988.
Swanson had her first main role in a television series in the short-lived medical drama "Nightingales" (1989), where she played student nurse Rebecca "Becky" Granger. The series was controversial at the time for its overly sexualized depiction of nurses. It inspired a protest campaign by the American Nurses Association, causing several sponsors to withdraw their support from their series. The series was canceled after a single season and 13 episodes, plus a television film. There was later a revival of the series' concept under the title "University Hospital" (1995), but Swanson was not involved with the revival series.
Swanson had her first film role in years in the romantic comedy "Dream Trap" (1990). The film depicted the romantic fantasies two teenagers have about each other. Her co-star for this film was Sasha Jenson (1964-). Swanson's next notable film role was in the fantasy comedy "Mannequin Two: On the Move" (1991). She played Jessie, a 14th-century peasant girl who was turned into a statue by a sorcerer. She is revived in the late 20th century, and falls in love with a descendant of her original lover. The film only earned 4 million dollars at the box office, failing to recover its production costs.

Swanson had a supporting role in the comedy film "Hot Shots!" (1991). She played Kowalski, a female pilot of the United States Navy who is regarded as male by her peers and superiors. The film earned 180 million dollars worldwide, the highest earning film in Swanson's career at that time.

She is about to be married to Satan, but her boyfriend Charlie Sykes (played by Chad Lowe) attempts to rescue her. The film only had a limited theatrical release, but was relatively popular in the home video market.
In 1992, Swanson had the leading role of Buffy in the horror comedy film "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1992). In the film, Buffy is a high school cheerleader with an ordinary life, who discovers that she is the latest in a long line of female vampire slayers. She has to stop a vampire army from taking over Los Angeles, at the cost of alienating her friends and losing her boyfriend. The film was modestly successful at the box office, earning about 17 million dollars.

In 1995, Swanson had a co-starring role in the university-themed drama film "Higher Learning". She played Kristen Connor, an initially shy student who proceeds to explore her bisexual tendencies by pursuing two different romantic relationships at the same time. The film earned about 38 million dollars at the domestic box office, becoming the 44th highest-grossing film of its year. It was also successful at the home video market. From Swanson's perspective, it was the highest-grossing film of her career since 1991.
In 1996, Swanson appeared in the superhero adaptation "The Phantom". It was based on the character Phantom/Kit Walker, created by Lee Falk (1911 - 1999) in 1936. Swanson played Diana Palmer, the Phantom's love interest. The film earned about 23.5 million dollars at the domestic box office, but was a major hit in the home video market.

Actress Lea Moreno got her start in community theater in Orange County. She studied at South Coast Repertory for ten years before landing her first screen roles shortly after graduating from high school. In 1995, her tenth and eleventh auditions landed her guest roles on the ABC sitcoms "Home Improvement" and "Step by Step". The following year, she made her TV-movie debut co-starring alongside Jonathan Brandis, Ariana Richards and Christopher Noth in the ABC movie "Born Free: A New Adventure". Moreno and Brandis played city kids who move with their businessman father to Africa, where they endeavor to return a captured lion to the wild. That same year she made her feature acting debut in a similar setting, the safari-set Tarzan retread "Jungle Boy" (a 1998 US direct-to-video release).
More TV work followed for Moreno, who guest starred on series including "Promised Land" and "Walker, Texas Ranger" (both CBS) and a recurring on "Clueless" (UPN) playing the snobby cheerleader Brittany. Additionally, she was featured as the daughter of a breast cancer survivor (Mary McDonnell) whose health is once again in jeopardy in "Two Voices", Lifetime's 1997 fact-based account of the class-action suit that rocked the silicone breast implant industry. Moreno followed up this supporting role with a starring turn as the leader of a group of heroic children navigating a post-apocalyptic lost world battling an evil-doer (Tim Curry) in Showtime's sci-fi original "Doom Runners" (also 1997). From 1998 to 1999, Moreno starred on the UPN hour-long drama "Legacy" as Alice Logan, a conscientious young teenager who takes over as the Logan's maternal force following her mother's untimely death. Moreno performed well in the role, winning over audiences as she portrayed Alice's shortcomings as well as her grace and indomitable spirit. Following the cancellation of the 19th Century American Reconstruction era serial, Moreno had a memorable lead guest role as a teenager meeting her father for the first time on a special two-hour Thanksgiving episode of NBC's hit drama "Providence" (1999). The following year the young actress returned to series television on The WB's quirky mid-season replacement sitcom "Brutally Normal" from the producers of "Popular." Here she took on the role of Anna Pricova, a smart and passionate high school student who was dealing with the ever ready trials of teenage life and the messes caused by her two troublesome best friends (Eddie Kaye Thomas and Mike Damus).
In 2000 Moreno landed the lead in an NBC pilot titled "Just Married", written by Jack Burditt of "30 Rock" and "Just Shoot Me" fame. She starred opposite Chris Evans ("Captain America" and "The Avengers") in this comedy about the trials and tribulations of getting married at a young age. The pilot did not go to series but NBC liked Moreno enough to ask her to join the cast of "D.A.G." playing Camilla Whitman, daughter of the President of the United States and First Lady. This multi-camera comedy, with an outstanding ensemble cast (David Alan Grier, Delta Burke, Lauren Tom, Paul F. Tompkins) only lasted one season but was a bright spot for Moreno as she held her own with some of TV comedies funniest, playing a sassy and smart, overly protected first daughter.
In 2003 Moreno landed supporting roles in two independent films. "Last Stand" and "Demon Hunter." The next few years followed with more supporting roles in independents as well as a lead guest star on the popular series "CSI Miami." Moreno played Kim/Demon leader of a gang of gamers that will stop at nothing to get what they want. In 2007 she starred in another popular series "Monk." In 2010 and 2011 Moreno and her husband Chris Young (Max Headroom, Great Outdoors, PCU) produced "Dead of Nowhere", a 3D feature film presentation starring Balthazar Getty and Lin Shaye.
2013 and 2014 saw a welcome change in Moreno's career, back to back roles playing a young mother. She co-starred in a feature film, "Sins of Our Youth", playing a young mom upset by the loss of her son to gun violence and then a guest star on the long running CBS hit, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, playing Karen Lewis, a wealthy, troubled young mother in rehab.

She attended Tesoro High School in Rancho Santa Margarita, where she became a member of the International Thespian Society as well as the Comedy Sportz High School League.
After graduating, Ashley wasted no time making the permanent move to Los Angeles. She quickly landed her first lead role under the direction of horror icon Luca Bercovici in the film Dr. Chopper (2005), which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, and has since become a modern cult classic with a massive underground following.
In 2007 Ashley found herself under the direction of the ever-edgy Daniel Waters in Sex and Death 101 (2007), starring Winona Ryder and Simon Baker. This film was very close to her heart because it began a long term bond and friendship between her and the acclaimed writer-director, who inspired her to begin writing her own screenplays and stories. She continued to take on various small roles in indie features and appearances on television, as well as writing her own projects. In 2010 she traveled to Vancouver to star in the drug-induced thrill ride entitled Ecstasy (2011), alongside Charlie Bewley from the smash-hit 'Twilight' series, and Gillian Zinser of the CW's 90210 (2008)
Traveling out of the country for 'Ecstasy' gave her an itch to embark on a new journey; Ashley sought to find something else - herself. She spent almost two years traveling the world, and ended up in Australia on her last stop. During her time there a friend (who also happened to be an agent) encouraged her to go on auditions while residing in Sydney. After a few film projects and modeling campaigns for local designers, it was only a matter of time before she got the itch to refocus on her career with a freshly rediscovered new energy. Ashley has recently returned to the States, splitting her time between Los Angeles and the land down under.- Second Unit Director or Assistant Director

Tyler grew up in Orange County, Calif. where, as a kid, he was in and out of hospitals constantly due to a rare heart condition he was diagnosed with at birth. Music was his escape, and his outlet from the frustration of frequent exposure to wave after wave of painful experimental procedures. However, despite his low heart function, he managed to live a fairly normal childhood. He began piano lessons at the age of seven, and his father taught him the guitar, although, it wasn't until high school that he realized his potential for composition as a career path. While taking an introductory music theory course, Tyler discovered his love for creating music, and stringing together chords and cadences like puzzle pieces fitting together to form an elaborate work of art. Gilbert earned his B.A. in Music Composition from the California Institute of the Arts (2012). While studying there, he composed the score to the original musical "RUINS" (2010) which had its debut on the CalArts stage in Valencia, Calif. and was met with rave reviews. After college, Gilbert went on to score a number of web series such as "Zombie Apocalypse 101," "Tales of the Sword," and "Cannibal Clown Killer." He has also written music for many live theater productions at UCLA including, "Life of Galileo," "Offending the Audience," "Assume the Worst," and "Mauser," the latter of which during the show's California debut. In addition, Gilbert has scored independent feature films such as "OMG...We're In A Horror Movie." It's been said of him that he brings a high level of creativity and professionalism to every project that he works on.
Gilbert has been a loyal supporter and contributor of the Make-A-Wish Foundation for many years, and has been invited to perform his compositions at several of their hosted charity events.
