Bridget Brno
Bridget's career began at the tender age seven when she portrayed an orphan in the film production of The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking. While she's maintained her innocence and blonde curly locks, her talents have matured as she has since obtained a BA in Theater from Loyola Marymount University and a long list of theater, television and film credits. Her theater credits include Marilyn Monroe in Wilhelm Reich in Hell; Lady Croom in Arcadia; Witch in Into the Woods; and Horatio in Hamlet. Television credits range from a series regular on Angel Air to a guest star on The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. She's landed supporting roles in several major motion pictures including Bewitched, Date Movie, and Haunted Mansion.
When you watch Bridget on the screen it is clear that she is short on neither confidence nor charm. Her name, Irish in origin, means strong. Watching her throughout her career one can easily see strength, expressed through a calm sensuality. When one looks at Miss Brno, one might immediately think of a classic pinup. Her resemblance to Marilyn Monroe is certainly apparent. But these are only surface qualities of this former pageant queen. Just beneath this glamorous surface lies intelligence not common among iconic blonds. With Viva, Miss Brno welcomes the chance to branch out and hone her skills as a comic actress and classic screen siren.

John Klemantaski
Born in London, England to a cosmopolitan family of actors, painters, writers and scientists, John knew from an early age that all he really wanted was sex and money. As a five year old, of course he had to conform to his parents' wishes and attend school, read books and do all the things that other children did, but he never lost sight of his goals. The turning point came when he was seventeen. Having wasted an extremely expensive education, John was, despite his best efforts, poised on the verge of a period at Oxford, followed by an illustrious career in the professions. In a mistaken attempt to force him down this path, his father offered him the choice of going up to Oxford or taking the fees in cash. Thus was the die cast. The life of debauchery and narrowly-avoided law suits that followed inevitably drew John towards Los Angeles and in a decision upheld in the Supreme Court by five votes to four, he was granted Permanent Resident status in the United States in 2002.
Since then, he has shown a deep, intuitive understanding of Hollywood and, in the time-honored tradition of England's finest private schools, he has slept, bribed or blackmailed his way into at least a dozen feature films and more than forty other films, TV series and commercials. Despite the impassioned pleas of his parents and other family members, John continues to use the proud old name of Klemantaski. John has had at least two wives of his own, as well as several belonging to other people.

Jared Sanford
Jared Sanford is an actor, writer, and producer living in Los Angeles. He is also a movie buff, an avid and voracious reader, and an expert on trivia and obscure arcana of all kinds. His wide knowledge of literature and classic films has produced a strong fantasy life, which he uses to shape his work as a writer, actor, and decadent Hollywood sexploitation producer. Jared has been known to play romantic leads, albeit not without a certain air of ironic self-deprecation, but his specialty is in playing character roles. He has been greatly influenced by the work of old movie greats such as Lon Chaney, Charles Laughton, and Boris Karloff, and has been compared favorably to John Dall, Al Jolson, Jack Buchanan, and Raymond Massey.
His favorite roles are monsters, dandies, braggarts, pompous windbags, buffoons, and sleazes, and he's played all of them with great pleasure and success, in a venerable but selective career on the stage and screen. He is also an accomplished singer with a wonderful deep baritone, and an astonishingly good mimic. He has been working together with Anna Biller for many years, and has been the inspiration for many of the characters that he plays in her films, including the Incubus, the Rajah,The Prince, and Mark, the alcoholic swinger husband with the memorable laugh in Viva. |

Chad England
Chad England is a enigma. A quiet and regular guy who devotes much of his time to sports, business, and management, he has a flair for becoming the characters he plays that borders on the uncanny. Never "actor-y," never rushed or nervous, and with the kind of classic good looks that have been pursued by Hollywood producers since the first movie idols lit up the screen, he uses his personal integrity and relaxed masculinity to play roles that would be impossible for most of the neurotic and self-centered stars of today. Reserved and private, he conquers roles with the ease and intelligence of a man who knows who is is and where he's going.
He has appeared in numerous independent films and television commercials, and has elicited screams of delight for his brilliant low-key portrayal of Rick in the movie Viva. |
