Thin, intense, antsy, and often unnerving character actor Frank Doubleday usually portrayed creepy villains in both movies and TV shows alike from the mid-1970's up until the early 1990's. Frank was born on January 28, 1945 in Norwich, Connecticut and came with his family to Los Angeles, California at age six. Doubleday made his film debut as an aggressive switchblade-wielding punk thug in the hilariously raunchy comedy The First Nudie Musical (1976). Doubleday's lean, hollow-eyed, sunken-cheeked face, closely cropped light blonde hair, skinny limbs, and slim build gave him a striking and potent screen presence that was put to especially effective use in two pictures for director John Carpenter: He's genuinely scary as the vicious street gang leader who kills little girl Kim Richards in cold blood in the terrific urban action classic Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) and was likewise memorably freaky as Isaac Hayes' ghoulish flunky "Romero" in the excellent futuristic science fiction cult favorite Escape from New York (1981). Doubleday's other noteworthy parts are a mob kingpin's conceited jerk son in Avenging Angel (1985), a fidgety prison inmate in the nifty science fiction item Space Rage (1985), a ferocious member of a roving murderous band of supernatural Eskimo spirits in the spooky Nomads (1986), a mercenary in Broadcast News (1987), and a sweaty, twitchy hoodlum who holds a bunch of fat ladies hostage in a laundromat in the funky urban science fiction hoot Dollman (1991). Among the TV shows Doubleday did guest appearances on are Amazing Stories (1985), Sledge Hammer! (1986), Stingray (1986), T.J. Hooker (1982), Hill Street Blues (1981), CHiPs (1977), The Incredible Hulk (1978), Charlie's Angels (1976), Wonder Woman (1975) and Starsky and Hutch (1975). Outside of acting, Frank also directed stage plays and taught acting at the Hollywood Court Theater. Doubleday died at age 73 from esophageal cancer on March 3, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.- Actor

Jerome Cowan was one of Hollywood's most prolific and instantly recognizable character actors. His trademark pencil-thin mustache and slicked back hair, immaculate suits and sophisticated manner were his stock-in-trade for impersonating an assortment of rejected husbands, shifty politicians, lawyers and shady detectives. He also excelled at delivering snappy repartee and witty or barbed one-liners which were typical of the gritty Warner Brothers films of the 1930's and 40's.
Straight out of high school, Jerome began to work his way up through stock companies and burlesque, making his debut on Broadway in the 1923 comedy 'We've Got to Have Money'. On the strength of his most successful stage performance in 'Boy Meets Girl' (1935-37), he was contracted by producer Samuel Goldwyn to appear in Beloved Enemy (1936) as an Irish patriot. Several films later, he found his niche as the dapper sophisticate with attitude, in films like There's Always a Woman (1938), as Nick Shane, Torrid Zone (1940), Crime by Night (1944) - a rare leading role as private eye Sam Campbell; and Mr. Skeffington (1944), as Bette Davis's ex. He was the short-lived partner, Miles Archer, to Humphrey Bogart's Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon (1941), a nervous informer in Riffraff (1947) and the district attorney who fails to indict Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street (1947). Add to that several well-acted gangsters (Frisco Lil (1942), Fog Island (1945), Deadline for Murder (1946), to mention a few) and some unexpected comedy, particularly as Dagwood's boss George Radcliffe in the Blondie (1957) series. In the 1950's and 1960's, Cowan adapted perfectly to the medium of television and became a regular on several shows, alternating drama with comedy, from Perry Mason (1957)to The Munsters (1964). He gave a short, but poignant performance opposite Ida Lupino in 'The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine', a 1959 episode of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone (1959), as an unrecognizable aged former matinee idol.- David Della Rocco was born on 4 May 1952 in Norwich, Connecticut, USA. He is an actor, known for The Boondock Saints (1999), The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009) and Dead in 5 Heartbeats (2013).

Having grown up with a love for creative, genre bending television and films, such as Doctor Who and Ghostbusters, Andrew Gernhard took his love for fantastical, out-of-the-box storytelling, and turned it into a successful producing career spanning nearly two decades, creating dozens of high concept, yet mainstream accessible films of all genres.
Upon graduating from Southern Connecticut State University with a Communication degree, Andrew immediately began working in the video production field, while also producing his first feature film, Trees. A tongue-in-cheek, loving homage to Steven Spielberg's seminal thriller, Jaws, Trees quickly gained a cult following for its irreverent humor amongst B-movie fans. He followed Trees up with a more ambitious, effects driven sequel, The Root of all Evil, which led to him forming the production company, Synthetic Cinema International, the following year.
Taking advantage of the then burgeoning straight-to-video DVD market, Synthetic Cinema produced a series of economical horror films. During a time when the horror genre was saturated with Eastern inspired ghost films, and bleak torture movies, Synthetic Cinema's brand of fast paced and fun creature features stood out in the crowd, and quickly gained the attention of NBCUniversal's then brand new horror network, Chiller Network.
Sensing the waning interest in the home video market, Andrew began producing original films for Chiller Network through Synthetic Cinema. Partnering with popular comic book writer Steve Niles, best known for 30 Days of Night, he produced an adaptation of Niles' zombie graphic novel, Remains, for the network. Starring Grant Bowler and Lance Reddick, Remains was the flagship film for Chiller, and instant ratings hit. The success led to Synthetic Cinema producing half a dozen original films for the network, including Animal, a co-production with Drew Barrymore's Flower Films starring Joey Lauren Adams and rapper Eve.
In 2014, Andrew reached out to a former teacher from his high school, turned New York Times Best Selling Author, Wally Lamb, to produce a feature film adaptation of his popular novel Wishin' and Hopin' for the Lifetime Network. The project quickly gained momentum as an all-star cast signed on, including Molly Ringwald, Cheri Oteri , Meatloaf, and Chevy Chase amongst others. The film, a nostalgic coming of age Christmas film, was praised by critics and audiences alike, and has become a yearly holiday tradition for many families.
Synthetic Cinema International has continued to grow and thrive, producing numerous feature films a year in Andrew's home state of Connecticut, often employing local crew members and aiding in creating a close-knit film community. Every movie has gone on to secure distribution in numerous territories across the world, making Synthetic Cinema a go-to production house for high quality, universally enjoyable feature films.
Over the recent years, Synthetic Cinema has expanded production to international projects and has created strong working relationships with many prolific executive producers, major studios and networks such as Paramount, Netflix, NBCUniversal, SyFy, Telemundo, Lifetime, Hallmark, Disney, BET and others.- Adam Rowe is a remote capable voice talent lending his services to commercials, anime and video games in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

He was the father of Chris Dodd, who replicated his feat of serving in both the House and Senate. Both Dodds were Democrats.
Tom Dodd had distinguished himself serving as a prosecutor at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials. His Senate career was marred by his alcoholism and unethical behavior. In 1967, he became one of only six senators in the 20th Century to be censured by the Senate, for unethically converting campaign funds to private use. He failed to win the Democratic primary in 1970 but ran as an independent, siphoning off enough votes so that the Republican, Lowell Weicker, won his seat. He lived long enough to see his son be elected to Congress in 1974, but he died before Chris Dodd won a Senate seat in 1980. - Additional Crew
