Hayden Panettiere

The ever so beautiful Hayden Leslie Panettiere born August 21th 1989. She is both an actress and a singer. Better known for her acting. The first role I remember her in was "Remember The Titans" but apparently she was in other things before that including two soap operas, One Life To Live and Guiding Light. Her big break was the hit show Heroes on NBC. Although I think if it wasn't that it would have been something else she would have stared in.
Hayden was born and raised in Palisades Rockland Country New York. Her mother Lesley R. Vogel was an actress in Soap operas and her father was an Fire Department Lieutenant.
Her last name Panettiere means "baker" in Italian. Which Hayden and her brother Jansen are Italian descent. Her brother Jansen acts as well.
Panettiere attended South Orangetown Middle School in New York but had home schooling from then on until she received her diploma. Putting off her education for her acting career at the moment.
Panettiere began modeling when she was four months old! She first appeared in commercials at 11 months, beginning with an advertisement for Playskool.

She has appeared in over a dozen full-length feature films, several made-for-TV movies. Hayden was the voice for Dot in the animated tale A Bug's Life. She also is the voice behind Kairi in the Kingdom Hearts series of video games for the PlayStation 2. She made an appearance in Ally McBeal acting as her daughter. Hayden was nominated for a Grammy in 1999 for A Bug's Life Read-Along in 2000. In 2004 she recorded a song entitled "My Hero Is You" with a video for the Disney Channel film she starred in Tiger Cruise. The next year she recorded a song entitled "I Fly" for the Disney film Ice Princess in which she also co-starred. She recorded a song for the Hollywood Records compilation Girl Next in 2006 and another song entitled "Go to Girl" for Girl Next 2 (2007). Also in 2007, She also recorded a cover for "Cruella De Vil" for DisneyMania 5, "Try" for the Bridge to Terabithia soundtrack and a ballad called "I Still Believe" for Cinderella III: A Twist in Time. Hayden's first single, "Wake Up Call," was digitally released on August 5, 2008. A clothing brand named Candies announced that it was premiering an ad campaign for the single in late July. Similarly, Candie's would also provide additional promotion for the single with a television advertisement and a music video.

In late 2006 Neutrogena made her the cover girl for their new worldwide ad campaign following in the footsteps of actresses of Kristin Kreuk, Josie Bissett,Jennifer Love Hewitt,Mandy Moore,Mischa Barton,Gabrielle Union and Jennifer Freeman.

In September 2007, Panettiere appeared in a Heroes-themed Got Milk? ad.

In February 2008 Kohl's announced that Hayden would be their next Candie's spokesperson. She would then be following the likes of Stacey Ferguson better known as "Fergie",Hilary Duff and Kelly Clarkson.
In 2006, Panettiere began dating Stephen Colletti, former Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, star. The couple broke up in September 2007. In December 2007, it was widely reported that she was dating her Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia though Panettiere denied these reports in an interview with GQ. These reports continued through the early part of 2008 and several sources had reported that she asked Ventimiglia to move in with her. In April 2008, during an interview on the BBC's The Cris Moyle Show to promote the second season of Heroes, Ventimiglia confirmed that he was dating Panettiere. They ended their relationship in February 2009.
She is currently dating heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko. She was ringside for his knockout victory over Samuel Peter on September 11th, 2010. She has a tattoo of the Italian words Vivere senza rimipianti running down the side of her left flank. The word rimpianti is misspelled in what otherwise would mean "To Live Without Regrets".

Steve Buscemi

 Steven Vincent Buscemi, born December 13th, 1957.  Steve is an actor, writer and film director.  In my opinion one of the most brilliant actors of our time.

   He was born in Brooklyn New York.  His mother Dorothy worked as a hostess at Howard Johnson's and his father John Buscemi worked as a sanitation worker.  His father was also a Korean War Veteran.  His father was Sicilian American and his mother was Irish American.  Steven and his three bothers Jon, Ken, and Michael were raised Roman Catholic.
Steve graduated from Valley Stream Central High School in 1975.  Patricia Charbonneau and writer Edward Renehan also attended the same High School.  In high school, Steve wrestled for the varsity squad and participated in the drama troupe, at that time directed by Mr. Lynne C. Lappin. Buscemi's 1996 film Trees Lounge, in which he not only starred but served as screenwriter and director, is set in and was largely shot in his childhood village of Valley Stream.
He went to college for a short time at Nassau before moving to Manhattan and enrolled  in the Lee Strasberg Institute.  Then in the early 80's from 1980 to 1984 he became a firefighter for the FDNY Engine 55!  This I never knew.  Can you imagine Steve Buscemi as a firefighter?  Amazing to me...
My favorite films and cartoons he was in include Resivoir Dogs(as Mr. Pink),Rising Sun(he's in there briefly),Airheads,Pulp Fiction,Billy Madison,Thing To Do In Denver When Your Dead,Desperado,Fargo,Con Air,The Big Lebowski,The Wedding Singer,Armageddon,Big Daddy,28 Days,Monsters Inc(voice of Randall Boggs),Mr. Deeds,Coffee And Cigarettes,Big Fish and he is the voice in The Simpsons as Dwight in the episode "Idon't wanna know why the cage bird sings".
On March 4, 2005, Buscemi returned to his old high school where he was presented the Distinguished Alumni Award as part of the school's 75th anniversary celebration.
In April 2001, while shooting the film Domestic Disturbance in Wilmington, North Carolina, Buscemi was stabbed three times while intervening in a bar fight at Firebelly Lounge between his friend Vince Vaughn, screenwriter Scott Rosenberg and a local man, who allegedly instigated the brawl .

If you ever seen a Home Depot commercial and thought, "that it sounds like Ed Harris narrating"? You weren't hearing things. He Narrates for com's as well.
Overall Ed Harris is great at being bad but even better at acting good.
