Anthony Anderson

Born: August 15, 1970 in Los Angeles, California, USA

(in 2006, about The Departed (2006)] Working with [Martin Scorsese] is a dream come true and we’re just having a ball, Just how he commands a set . . . But we are staying true to the original film. We shot in New York for a couple of months, and then we’ve been in Boston the last three weeks, and then we’re coming back to New York through the first week of September. So it’s just a nice ride right now.

Born: August 15, 1957 in Ljubljana, Slovenia

[Interview for “Films in Review” in 1985] There’s a thrill in performance on the stage that you don’t get in a movie. There’s a feeling that you are communicating something to an audience that you just don’t have during take 16 on a sound stage. A year later you see it on a screen and feel frustrated about things you’ve missed. Why didn’t I do this? Why didn’t I do that?

Natasha Henstridge

Born: August 15, 1974 in Springdale, Newfoundland, Canada

[on being raised in a small northern Canadian town] When I look back now, it was a wonderful place to grow up in terms of having freedom. It was one of those childhoods where you hopped on your bike and came home at dark. You walked to school, walked home, hung out with your friends. When I look at that now and the difference between that and how I’m raising my children, I’m really thrilled that I got to have that experience. I think 25 below zero was when they let us stay in for recess or lunch. One of the beauties of that is I’m a tough cookie. I can roll with the punches.

It’s definitely one of those things when you decide to be an actor that it would be really cool to be in a Broadway show or a series regular on a hit show.

Yesterday, I had to do an interview. I was in a horrible mood. I couldn’t think of basic words. I could see my publicist in the background, mouthing things to say. They want you to be likable all the time, and I’m just not.

Happy Birthday: Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck

Born: August 15, 1972 in Berkeley, California, USA

Married to: Jennifer Garner (29 June 2005 – present) (filed for divorce) (3 children)

[on tabloid coverage of his life] It feels like being in a soap opera that you were unwittingly cast in and you have no choice about it. I get to watch my life like everyone else and think. “I can’t believe they did that”. And, for whatever reason, you become less special for movie audiences. It cheapens the brand if you want to look at it in a really crass sense. But I figure it has to go away at some point. Eventually someone will come along and have a sex tape or someone will play grab-ass with some kids and I’ll be off page one.
