Born: September 11, 1987 in Corona, California, USA

He is an actor, known for Road to Perdition (2002), Teen Wolf (2011) and Everybody Wants Some!! (2016).

[on suiting up as Superman for Supergirl (2015)] The first couple of times it definitely took longer to get into. I started to think that Superman’s greatest power was actually being able to just jump into [the suit] as quickly as he does, because it’s not quite as smooth the first couple of times you do it.

Happy Birthday: Robert Wise (1914–2005)

robertwiseRobert Wise (1914–2005)

Born: September 10, 1914 in Winchester, Indiana, USA
Died: September 14, 2005 (age 91) in Los Angeles, California, USA

Married to:
Millicent Wise (29 January 1977 – 14 September 2005) (his death)
Patricia Doyle (25 May 1942 – 22 September 1975) (her death) (1 child)

[on Julie Andrews] How’s she got to the top? It can not be all just talent. A lot of talented don’t begin to make it the way she has made it. There is a genuineness about her; an unphoniness. She goes right through the camera, on to the film and out to the audience. Julie seems to have been born with the magic gene that comes through on the screen.

Happy Birthday: Clark Johnson

Born: September 10, 1954 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

[on casting Nina Hoss in Homeland (2011)] It was tough to get her, and she gave so much to that role. The character was on the page, but as an actor you can bring so many more colors to it. She was just so nuanced and worthy of being a collaborator with Quinn and in (sparring) with Carrie. I mean, you’ve got to bring your A-game to do ‘Homeland’.

(1977, about her decisions on working with her then partner) I would love to work for Steven [Spielberg] but, right now, I want to make it on my own first. I do not ever want to be known as “Steven Spielberg’s girlfriend”.

Monica Devereux (1983 – present) (4 children)

I was up on 140th Street in Harlem, in 1992. It was 3 in the morning, and I was walking back to get a cup of coffee. These two young kids came up to me and said to me, “What movie is this?” I said, “Home Alone 2,” and they said, “What do you do?” And I said, “I’m the director.” They said, “Oh, you’re John Hughes!”

Happy Birthday: Bill O’Reilly

billoreilly.jpgBill O’Reilly

Born: September 10, 1949 in New York City, New York, USA

Generally speaking, the elite media believe that the majority in this country — white Christian Americans — are prone to oppressing the minority. The elites rightfully point to the civil rights struggle as an example of how the majority can hurt a minority until the forces of reason stepped in.

Because look … when 2 percent of the population feels that you’re doing them a favor, just forget it, you’re not going to win. You’re not going to win. And I don’t have any respect by and large for the Iraqi people at all. I have no respect for them. I think that they’re a prehistoric group that is — yeah, there’s excuses.

Happy Birthday: Ryan Phillippe

ryanphillippe.jpgRyan Phillippe

Born: September 10, 1974 in New Castle, Delaware, USA

(On working and being with Reese Witherspoon on the film Cruel Intentions (1999)): It was great. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. Not only personally but professionally. She was an asset to the movie and we begged her to do it. She didn’t have as colorful a role as Sarah’s and mine, but she did an amazing job. Really elevated the piece.

I’m not politically motivated. I used to be – passionately. I used to be very Left wing. Then I went very Right wing, and now I rest somewhere in the middle.
