>>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.
