Molly Parker, the extremely talented and versatile Canadian actress is best known in the United States for playing the Western widow "Alma Garret" on the cable-TV series Deadwood (2004). Raised on a commune, she described as "a hippie farm" in Pitt Meadows, B.C., Parker got the acting bug when she was 16 years old, after 13 years of ballet training. Parker's uncle was an actor, and his agent took her on as a client, enabling her to launch her career in small roles on Canadian television. She enrolled at Vancouver's Gastown Actors' Studio after she graduated from high school, and continued to act on TV in series and TV-movies while learning her craft at acting school.
Parker began attracting attention when she appeared as the daughter of a lesbian military officer in the TV-movie Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story (1995). She earned a Gemini nomination (the Canadian TV industry's equivalent of the Emmy) for her performance in the TV-movie Paris or Somewhere (1994). However, it was her debut in theatrical films that gave her her big breakthrough, playing a necrophiliac in Lynne Stopkewich's 1996 film Kissed (1996). It was "Kissed" that set Molly's career into overdrive.
A friend got her an audition for the low-budget independent feature film, and she hit if off with the director, who not only cast her, but became her friend. As the character "Sandra Larson", a poetic soul obsessed with death who engages in sexual congress with a corpse, Parker created a sympathetic character in a difficult role. The film garnered her rave revues and she won a Genie Award, the Canadian cinema's Academy Award, for her performance. She parlayed the accolades into a sustained career on film and in TV.
On TV, Parker was part of the cast of CBC-TV's six-part sitcom Twitch City (1998), playing the girlfriend of Don McKellar, which enabled her to showcase her comedic skills. Other memorable TV roles was the female rabbi on Home Box Office's series Six Feet Under (2001) and, of course, the regular role on HBO's Deadwood (2004). She has appeared in many ambitious films, including Jeremy Podeswa's The Five Senses (1999), István Szabó's Sunshine (1999) and Michael Winterbottom's Wonderland (1999). She also re-teamed with director Lynne Stopkewich for Suspicious River (2000).
Parker made waves with another provocative film with sex as its subject, director Wayne Wang's The Center of the World (2001). In the movie, Parker played a San Francisco lap dancer who becomes a paid escort to a Silicon Valley nerd. For her performance, she was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. In 2002, she was nominated twice as best supporting actress at the Genies for her roles in the British/Canadian co-production War Bride (2001) and Bruce Sweeney's Last Wedding (2001), winning for her appearance in the latter film.
Parker's reputation as an outstanding actress is based on her assaying of strong, yet flawed, definitely complex women in character-leads and supporting parts in challenging films. Not only does she convey intelligence, but there is an unconscious elegance to her, a true inner beauty that radiates on-screen. She will be gracing the screen, both large and small, with her unique presence for many years to come.- Actress

Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) and The Chronicles of Riddick (2004).- Retired American professional wrestling valet known for her work in ECW as Kimona Wanalaya in 1996 and in WCW as Leia Meow from 1999 until the promotion closed in 2001. Raven (Scott Levy) discovered her working as a stripper at a club where he had a side gig as a DJ and got her a job with ECW as his valet. The name Kimona Wanalaya was a pun ("Come on, I wanna lay ya"). She took Beulah McGillicutty (Trisa Hayes)'s spot in Raven's Nest after Beulah turned face and sided with Raven's archenemy Tommy Dreamer after announcing she was "pregnant" with Dreamer's "baby." At "ECW Hostile City Showdown 96," April 20, 1996, Shane Douglas told Dreamer that Beulah was never pregnant and that she was cheating on Dreamer. Dreamer asked, "Who is he?" Douglas said, "It's not a 'he', Tommy Dreamer!" Kimona then said, "It's me!" She and Beulah then walked toward each other and kissed. Dreamer separated them, and then told announcer Joey Styles, "I'll take them both I'm hardcore!" and all three kissed at once. While she remained a face aligned with Dreamer and Beulah for the rest of her run, the lesbian angle was dropped because Beulah had objected backstage to having to portray a lesbian. At "ECW Hardcore Heaven 96," June 22, 1996, the ring broke during the Tommy Dreamer-Brian Lee (Brian Harris) Weapons Match, and the crew needed some time to fix it for the Sabu (Terry Brunk)-Rob Van Dam main event. ECW boss Paul Heyman told her to go up to the stage and do a striptease. Although Heyman promised that they wouldn't film it, they did and it was included on the "Extreme Warfare Vol. 1" VHS release. This was her last appearance for ECW. She spent some time in the independents before resurfacing in WCW as Leia Meow, the cheerleader/valet for the reunited Varsity Club (Kevin Sullivan/Mike Rotunda/Rick Steiner) at WCW Starrcade (1999). After that was abandoned, she was repackaged with a dominatrix gimmick as the valet for the Jung Dragons (Kaz Hayashi/Yun Yang (Jimmy Yun)/Jamiesan (James Gibson)). After WCW closed, she retired.

Andrew Carlson's interest in film started at an early age but he did not get a chance to start a career in the film industry until after graduating Maple Lake High School in 2009. Upon graduating, Andrew left Minnesota to live with his father in Florida. After moving to Florida, he started taking classes from the Actors Info Booth where he met Director Tom Logan. After taking a few classes on auditioning and scene studies - Andrew decided that film acting is his dream career. He has been acting at a very early age in theater productions.
After a couple months down in Florida, Andrew had to move back up to Minnesota where he had his first taste of being on set. "Hunting Buddies" was Andrew's first film he worked on as an extra. He started making YouTube videos with his good friend Jim Clements to learn more about film making and video editing. Later in the year, Andrew had a small, non-speaking role on the film "Potpourri" and "In Harm's Way". During the summer of 2010, Andrew worked on his first supporting role film called "A Girl Named Rachel" starring Callan Korpi. His friend/co-worker Clinton Jordan wrote/directed the film. Due to lighting/camera difficulties, the film won't be released with the original cast. Also in the summer of 2010, Andrew helped write a short comedy called "The Right Thing" with Jim Clements. It was filmed in Minnesota as well as Omaha with a cast from all over the country.
Andrew worked on independent films in front of the camera as well as behind the camera to build up his resume. He was the assistant director to a short film written/directed by Yong Hak Kim and that peaked Andrew's interest. A month later Andrew was asked to be the Assistant Director and Co-Producer for a television pilot called "The U-Brew" (among other credits on that project). He left for New Orleans in March of 2011 to kick his career into high gear.

Recently, Phil has transitioned to Board Operator and is working on some exciting projects coming to a screen near you.- Larry Walker, the 1997 National League Most Valuable Player, is one of the most productive player of recent major league baseball history, batting .313and hitting 383 home runs with 1,311 RBIs in his 17 year career. Along with pitcher Ferguson Jenkins, Walker ranks as the greatest baseball player that Canada has produced.
Born Larry Kenneth Robert Walker on December 1, 1966 in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, the young Larry shared the dram of most young Canadian males in wanting to grow up and be a hockey player. He was drafted by the Montreal Expos in 1984 and debuted with the team in 1989, playing with them through the strike-stopped 1994 season. After that season, he declared free agency and signed with the Colorado Rockies, who replaced Mile High Stadium (Denver is located at over 5,000 feet above sea level in the Rocky Mountains) with the new Coors Field, which Walker helped inaugurate.
The left handed hitter's power stats jumped in Denver: in 1995, he hit 36 home runs after having going yard 23 and 22 times in 1992 and 1993, his last full seasons. In 1997, he joined former Boston Red Sox slugger Jim Rice as the only players to have over 400 total bases since the great Joe DiMaggio. He racked up 409 total bases while hitting .366 with 49 taters, 130 RBI, and 33 stolen bases. He also had 12 assists as a right fielder, wining him the third of his seven Gold Gloves as a fielder. The performance brought him the N.L. MVP award, making Walker the first Canadian player ever to win the highest accolade in baseball other than enshrinement in the Hall of Fame.
Ironically, Walker lost the 1997 Lou Marsh Award for Canadian Athlete of the Year award to race-car driver Jacques Villeneuve, though he did cop that accolade in 1998, when won the first of his three batting titles by hitting .363. However, he appeared in only 130 games in 1978, with 454 official at bats, as he was was plagued by injuries, as he would be through the rest of his career.
Walker never again had 500 at-bats in a season, but he set the Rockies batting record the following year with .379 mark that topped both leagues. The top average was sweetened by 37 home runs and 115 RBI in just 438 at-bats. He then spent most of the 2000 season on the disabled list before bouncing back, wining his third (and last) batting title with a .350 in 2001, which he followed with .338 the next year. His power stats for 2001 and 2002 were 38 homers and 123 RBI and 25 homers and 104 RBI, respectively.
He had another off-year in 2003, in which he batted .284 with only 16 taters and 79 RBI, and an injured Walker played only 38 games for the Rockies in 2004 before being traded traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for three minor league players In August 2004. Walker saw his only World Series action in 2004 with the Cardinals, batting .357 with two homers for a team that was swept by the Boston Red Sox. He was also a member of the 2005 Cardinals team that won the division before losing the National League Championship series to the Houston Astros in six games. Walker announced his retirement from baseball a the conclusion of the 2005 N.L. Championship Series. As of 2006, Walker is an instructor on the St. Louis Cardinals spring training staff under manager Tony LaRussa. - Director
