They offer me a lot more money to do something that was successful before than to take a risk. More power to the people who get to choose their roles. I don’t.

Bradley Whitford

Born: October 10, 1959 in Madison, Wisconsin, USA

[on if he’s felt typecast after “The West Wing”] You’re going to get typecast as whatever you do, but to be typecast as that guy who was complicated, passionate, funny, that’s fine. But yeah, people think you’re going to be a smart guy in a suit. But my God, what a wonderful experience. The only problem with it is it does spoil you; honestly, not to be pretentious but the creative experience, that kind of writing and those kinds of actors and directors and that arena, for God’s sake. What do you do after that? A show about a canning factory?

Charles Dance

Born: October 10, 1946 in Redditch, Worcestershire, England, UK

[on certain scenes in the television series Game of Thrones (2011)] You saw all this violence and all this rumpy pumpy, and it’s all doggie-style. I said to [the executive producers] “Obviously, the missionary position didn’t come into vogue for a few years yet in the Seven Kingdoms”. And they said “We wanted it to be kind of animalistic, Charles” and I said, “Well, it’s certainly that”.

Wendi McLendon-Covey

Born: October 10, 1969 in Bellflower, California, USA

Married to: Greg Covey (10 August 1996 – present)

On young actresses and the pressure to be thin: “Well, first you have to ask yourself if you want to be the kind of actress who’s interesting, or the kind of actress who’s meant to play the pretty-but-uninteresting wife of a chubby guy on a network sitcom. If you want to play the good roles, spend more time in in college and in acting class than you do in the gym, and you’ll have the career you want. Talent always wins out in the long run.”

Rose McIver

Born: October 10, 1988 in Auckland, New Zealand

I always think about the settlers who moved to New Zealand in the 1800s. They hadn’t even been to the place before. They just packed their bags and shipped over knowing they’d never see their family again or be able to speak to them – they’d maybe get a letter if they were lucky.

Married to: Susie Hariet (2009 – present) (2 children)

[on the controversy surrounding his leaving the ‘Downton Abbey’ cast to make ‘The Guest’] I couldn’t have sat down two years ago and said, ‘Okay, Julian Fellowes, what I really want to do is a twisted action thriller black comedy with horror elements. Preferably with an American accent’. That would have been insane and highly implausible. But as soon as the opportunity came along it seemed like a reality.

Happy Birthday: Aimee Teegarden

Aimee Teegarden

Born: October 10, 1989 in Downey, California, USA

In 2007, Aimee Teegarden was the one who read the question, “Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?” to Miss Teen USA 2007 contestant Caite Upton (Miss South Carolina Teen USA). The question became infamous when Ms. Upton botched the answer with a string of nonsensical and non-germane responses, and the resulting video became a popular Internet meme. Ms. Upton’s answer was: “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh…people out there in our nation don’t have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and…I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., err, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children”.
