>>ABOUT THE ACTORS Matthew Fox
Matthew Fox is an actor cut from the proverbial leading man cloth,
carrying himself with strong charisma and a
powerful presence.
Fox is best known for starring in the hugely successful series, Party of
Five, winner of the 1996 Golden Globe for
Best Drama. He has other numerous credits, which include a starring role in the critically acclaimed series, Haunted and the made-for-television movie, Behind the Mask.
Hailing from a ranch in Wyoming, where his family raised horses and barley,
Fox enjoyed the all-American upbringing that led him to play football at Columbia University, where he also studied economics. With every intent of being a successful Wall Street broker, Fox instead was swayed to modeling, which led to some commercial spots, and he has been sold on acting ever since.
Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Lilly's combination of
irresistible charm and natural talent is earning her a reputation as one of
the
most promising young actresses in Hollywood.
Three years ago Lilly was discovered by a Ford agent on the streets of
Kelowna, BC, but passed up an offer to
sign with the agency. While acting had been a dream of hers since she was a teenager, she abandoned the notion for the more aesthetic dream of working in international relations. Six months later Lilly moved to Vancouver to attend the University of British Columbia and decided to sign with Ford to help pay for tuition. After appearing in a few commercials, she decided to give up acting and focus on studying. A couple of years later, a friend urged her to give acting another shot and, after a role in Kingdom Hospital, Lilly caught the acting bug.
Lilly
founded and ran a world development and human rights committee at her
university. She has lived under
a grass hut in the jungles of the
Philippines with a missionary group, and has been a volunteer for children's
projects since the age of 14.
Lilly is fluent in French and loves ice skating, canoeing, kayaking,
snowboarding and rock climbing.
