Matt Bomer is currently the lead in the popular series White Collar. He was just seen on the big screen in the box office smash Magic Mike alongside a number of some well “dressed” gentlemen (hehe). This actor is also a wonderful singer and guest starred on a Glee episode as well as the Broadway show, 8.

Melissa Leo is the winner of the Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. This talented actress is best known for her critically acclaimed role as Alice Ward in The Fighter. I personally enjoyed the movie and her acting was superb. She is currently starring in HBO’s new series, Treme.
Omar Epps was on one of televisions greatest hits, House M.D. The show just ended its 8 season run but Mr. Epps’ career is going strong. Aside from television, you will find Omar in movies such as Love and Basketball and The Mod Squad. He is working on a film called Destined which is currently in production.
Marlon Wayans is the youngest of the Wayans family siblings. He has always been the “funny guy” in movies such as White Chicks and Scary Movie 1 & 2. He was also in his own sitcom with brother, Shawn Wayans, aptly named The Wayans Bros. However, take the comedic hat off for a second and Marlon Wayans showed his dramatic side in the beautifully disturbing Requiem for a Dream. The movie showed that Mr. Wayans had depth and is not just the “funny guy”.
David Arquette is best known for his critical role in the Scream movie franchise. He is also known as Drew Barrymore’s brother in the coming of age chick flick Never Been Kissed – which I personally love. After a bit of research, it was quite fascinating to learn that Mr. Arquette had a stint as a professional wrestler. His next career move is behind the camera as he directs a thriller called Glutton.
