Birth name
William James Nesbitt

QUOTES:

The thing to remember is that the work comes first, and not to get distracted by anything else. If you keep focused on the work, everything else will fall into place. That’s my mantra now.

I’ve heard some duff Irish accents. The worst must be Mickey Rourke.

I spend my money on holidays and eating out, and it allows me to be generous.

I never forget that I’m extremely fortunate.

A pioneer into illusion, an adventurer into the unknown. To give beyond reason, to care beyond hope, to love without limit; to reach, stretch and dream in spite of your fears. These are the hallmarks of divinity-traits of the immortal-your badges of honor. Your light has illuminated darkened paths, your gaze has lifted broken spirits, and already your life has changed the course of history.

QUOTES:

In Falling Skies (2011) I was playing a soldier and a fighter, and then, when I was taken captive, you’re still in this post-apocalyptic world.

“Terrible” is not a word I would use in shooting romantic scenes with Scott Speedman.

For the spouse of someone in the service, you are your own provider, your own lover, your own best friend while that person’s gone–the mother and father if you have kids.

At different times in your life, your body needs different things.

I loved The Chicago Code (2011); I watched that a lot. It was great because it really captured the city–I’m from Chicago, too.

QUOTES:

We know that’s the bottom line: if money is made, the powers that be pay attention.

I’ve tried to be flexible in my career by doing a little bit of everything and that’s worked for me.

It’s funny that until I actually met my husband, I never thought I’d get married.

There’s a difference between actresses of color and actresses not of color. If you look at how big my movies are.

Born
January 14, 1969 · Rye, New York, USA

Birth name
Jason Kent Bateman

Spouse
Amanda Anka (July 3, 2001 – present) (2 children)

QUOTES:

I’ve been offered a couple of leads in some movies that really suck. I mean, you know, if they’re offering me the lead, the script ain’t that great. The stuff that’s good, I’m a little further down the cast list.

This is a tough town to live in if you’re not relevant. I’m not making my decisions based on the fear of that. But there’s a reason people have a long career. And it’s because they’re doing respectful work. I really want to be in that group.

I would rather do three or four small parts every year as opposed to some of the lower-hanging fruit that might get my name above the title. If you take that big paycheck for that, it’s going to be real high-profile, you’re going to be famous for a couple of weeks, and then your career is over and you’ve got to make sure you don’t spend all your money before you die.
