Born: October 7, 1979 in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada

Shawn always gets cast as the nice guy, and I usually get the jock, the bad guy, or the jerk.

We were I think normal high school kids. We liked to have fun, liked to party. But it was always, ‘Do your school work first,’ that sort of thing. We had all the same friends. We took all the same classes. We were always together

Between Twitter and Facebook and how close you can be with your fans and how close they can be to you these days is, I think, quite miraculous. It’s like getting a greeting card every single day.

I always feel like everything I shoot is a student project, and nobody else knows about it. I forget, in the moment, that other people will see it.

Happy Birthday: June Allyson

juneallysonJune Allyson (1917–2006)

Born: October 7, 1917 in The Bronx, New York, USA

Died: July 8, 2006 (age 88) in Ojai, California, USA

Married to: David Ashrow (30 October 1976 – 8 July 2006) (her death)
Alfred Glenn Maxwell (1 April 1966 – 17 March 1970) (divorced)
Alfred Glenn Maxwell (13 October 1963 – 20 April 1965) (divorced)
Dick Powell (19 August 1945 – 2 January 1963) (his death) (2 children)

From 1963 to 1975, she had a long term, ill-fated romance with writer/director Dirk Wayne Summers, often announcing to the press that the couple would be married soon. She and Summers were the lead item in Walter Winchell’s then influential column more than a few times. They often traveled together through Europe. Although Summers apparently loved her and their life together, he refused her many proposals of marriage, much to her chagrin. Members of the nascent jet-set, they were frequently seen in Cap d’Antibes, Madrid, Rome and London, where they called Hugh M. Hefner’s borrowed Mayfair penthouse home.

Born: October 7, 1959 in Lambeth, London, England, UK

If you would have asked me what I thought of America before I came over here I would have used the word “corny”. And then you come over here and you find that it’s not corny at all. British people are very cynical, they cannot bear someone else’s success. Americans embrace other people’s success. Everything in America is larger than life.

I tend to (get cast) as dark characters, and I’m more drawn to those characters anyway – they’re usually more interesting. Plus, I got this deep voice from my father, and the combination of the timbre of my voice and my inflections tends to make people feel that there’s some darkness there.

Alice Evans (14 September 2007 – present) (2 children)

I was probably doing more to pigeonhole myself as a Welshman and a Welsh actor than anyone else! A lot of the stuff I said in the past sounded defensive – a young man’s ideals about who I am and where I’m from. I realize I don’t have to force that on people, but just use it as a safety net, to stride out into the world knowing that I have a strong sense of identity. Because we’re all landlocked in this nation together and we should be celebrating it.

I do, I kick major butt in Dredd (2012). I get to kill people. I break a guy’s neck by roundhouse kicking him in the face. It was me, I did it. I learned how to roundhouse kick. I also do it with my hands cuffed behind my back so it’s pretty cool I have to say. Yeah, leather body suit, blonde hair, the whole thing.
