Born: July 15, 1951 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Married to:
Theresa Larson Masters (18 July 1975 – present) (2 children)

In a 1999 interview for Playboy magazine, he declared organized religion “a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers.” In response to the subsequent criticism over that statement, he later clarified that he did not dislike most religious people, but criticized the views of religious fundamentalists, calling their views “weak and destructive.”.

 

Happy Birthday: Terry O’Quinn

terryoquinn.jpgHappy Birthday actor Terry O’Quinn

Born: July 15, 1952 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, USA

Has had roles in both of J.J. Abrams’s hit television series Alias (2001) and Lost (2004).

Not many know that he is a talented guitarist and singer. He is a particularly big fan of Neil Young and can apparently do a dead-on impression of him.

Although always friendly onset, he keeps private and mysterious habits apart from his younger Lost (2004) co-stars, who often get together for wild parties when not shooting. He keeps this enigmatic aura so they will regard him similarly to the way they regard his mysterious character Locke.

QUOTES:

I never liked apples. In fact, when I was a little girl, my mom wanted to give me apples in my lunch box and I would ask for green peppers. So bizarre… It’s funny – I don’t have an apple a day, but I can say that I have a few a week.

Happy Birthday: Taylor Kinney

taylorkinney.jpgHappy Birthday actor Taylor Kinney

Born: July 15, 1981 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA

QUOTES:

Being on ‘The Vampire Diaries’ feels almost like a game you play when you’re a kid. When I was a kid, I used to have to take the garbage out at night on Wednesdays. I lived out in the country. I’d take the garbage out, and I used to pretend that I was the only person in the whole world, except for one other person, and he was looking for me.

If ‘Chicago Fire’ goes for a long run, maybe I’ll look for a place, but in my line of work, you can’t throw your eggs into one basket because you might have to move. I’m not big on ‘things,’ though, so I don’t own TVs, couches or cars because I wouldn’t know where to put them.

Born: July 15, 1976 in Algermissen, Lower Saxony, Germany

QUOTES:

With Wolfgang Petersen, we were always the only two ready at time and the first on the set during the filming of Troy (2004). The German rigour without a doubt.

It was something strange for me, to kiss Orlando. I was so embarassed! It is not as fun as people think to shoot love scenes. You feel vulnerable, and there are about 100 people looking at you.

joelsilverHappy Birthday producer Joel Silver

Born: July 14, 1952 in South Orange, New Jersey, USA

Married to:
Karyn Fields (10 July 1999 – present) (1 child)

As flamboyant as any character in his movies, Joel Silver can be credited along with Jerry Bruckheimer as practically reinventing the action film genre in the 1980s. Born in New Jersey, he attended the New York University Film School.

Joel Silver pioneered the practice of shooting action movies in Australia with the “Matrix” films, and has been credited with either inventing or reinventing the careers of Eddie Murphy, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Steven Seagal. He was mentioned in Halle Berry’s Academy Award acceptance speech. Other credits include non-action pictures, ranging from Xanadu (1980) and Weird Science (1985) to HBO’s long-running TV series, Tales from the Crypt (1989).

Caricatured in Grand Canyon (1991), True Romance (1993), and I’ll Do Anything (1994)
