GAEL PRICE

Occupation: Full-time Actress
Marital Status: Married
Age: 34
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 120 lbs.
Eyes: Purple
Hair: Black
Birthplace: Los Angeles
Residence: New York City

Gael graduated from an acting school and started out doing commercials and non-speaking roles in several small films. She was bored of California and the Hollywood scene (and had a few disagreements with her agent) and moved to NYC where she spent some time on Broadway and met her husband. After her marriage, Gael held a few part time jobs while searching for a regular acting gig to support her family.

Gael landed a lead role as Kaida on the long-running adventure/crime drama Used Books nearly a year ago, around the same time as the birth of her third child. She has told reporters that three children are plenty for her, and she's not planning for any more. Gael is known to dress as her part in public and always happy to take a moment to chat with fans.

ERIC PRICE

Occupation: Stay-at-home dad, Part-time Actor
Marital Status: Married
Age: 39
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Eyes: Green
Hair: Blonde
Birthplace: New Jersey
Residence: New York City

After high school, Eric lived day-to-day paying rent and scraping by on part-time work as bus boy, stock boy, and other places that included "boy" in the job title. He entered college and majored in drama and literature, but was unable to pay tuition and dropped out. Eventually, he got a break as an understudy in a Shakespearean acting company, where he stole the show. He met his wife after a particularly moving performance of MacBeth. After their first child was born, Eric gave up his part-time work to be a full-time father.

He landed his role in Used Books by accident when he was asked to read opposite his wife for her audition. The role he landed is recurring antagonist but is in occasional multi-part episodes. Eric still spends most of his time as a homemaker and father. He has a reputation for being reclusive and manages to stay out of the public eye. (Gael is quite happy to field questions from reporters and be the spokesperson for her family.)

Eric also dabbles some in writing and has written a few episodes of Used Books (notably "episode 23: The Last Noel" and "episode 38: Never a Bride"). He is rumored to have written or helped with a few other shows but is often uncredited.

Weight: 138 lbs.

Hair: Blond

Chance Powers

Occupation: Actress with bachelor's degree in Theater from Berkeley.

Marital status: Single

Age: 22

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 220 lbs.

Eyes: Blue

Hair: Black

Race: Black/Chinese

Place of Birth: Orlando, Florida

The writers for Due East had a massive casting call to find the perfect "blasian" (Black/Asian) actresses to play the multiracial sisters, Sapphira and Brielle Hu. They absolutely fawned over Chance! Not only was she blasian and attractive, but she also wasn't hard to negotiate with over a significant weight gain by the end of Season 1.

Chance owns a condo in Los Angeles and is not pursuing any relationships at this time. Her interests outside acting include sailing (she owns a small yacht), fishing and watercolor painting.

Christopher (Chris) S. Juarez

Occupation: Actor with bachelor's degree in English Literature from UCLA.

Marital status: Single (but would like that to change)

Age: 23

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 175 lbs.

Eyes: Brown

Hair: Dusty blonde with brown highlights

Place of Birth: San Antonio, Texas

Chris Juarez's role on Due East was somewhat unexpected. The cast was shooting a scene near downtown and was taking a break for lunch. The show hadn't aired yet, so Chris didn't know that Chance was an actress on the show and approached her to flirt. The director saw them talking and said "HE'S DEON!! Quick, get him a contract!" Not one to turn down an opportunity to be around his new love interest, Chris signed the contract and turned out to be one of the show's most popular "underdog" characters.

Outside of acting, Chris is an avid skateboarder and has every episode of Naruto on DVD.

Anna Quinn Randy

Occupation: Actress with a BSc in Organic Chemistry (minor in Biology)

Marital status: Married

Age: 30

Height: 160 cms (sorry for the european metric system)

Weight: 50 kg

Eyes: Blue

Hair: Chocolate brown with some reddish highlights after prolongued stays in the sun

Place of Birth: Athens, Greece

Anna had never imagined herself being an actress. Born in Greece to a Canadian paediatrician and a Greek surgeon (the dad being the Canadian one), she grew in the Mediterranean and spoke Greek first and English a close second with starry eyes about being a scientist- possibly a doctor. Completing school in Greece, she got admitted for a BSc in the University of Chicago, specialising in Organic Chemistry and Biology- and her dream has been to become an immunologist and researcher. SHe will not reveal why she's obsessed with that.

She met Ian Peter Rivers in the Chicago university campus while he was studying there with her an odd cross of Dramatic Literature and Statistics. He swept her off her feet easily, talked her into taking part in the university Drama Club which is something she never got out of throughout completion of her degree. Over the four years she and Ian fell in love, got married and Anna started on her masters.

They were seen by one of the producers of new series in the DCC, a fruitbat of a woman called Tantz Aerine who is notorious about casting unknowns who may not even be out of actor school. They had been playing in a production of '12 Angry Men' by the Chicago University Drama Club, where one was Juror 8 and the other was Juror 3- and after the play was done they were made an offer they couldn't refuse.

So far. ;)

Ian Peter Rivers

Occupation: Actor with bachelor's degree in Dramatic Literature and Statistics (joint major).

Marital status: Married

Age: 35

Height: 195 cm

Weight: 85 kg

Eyes: green

Hair: Carrot red. (Some claim it is what keeps him safe from cars at nights)

Place of Birth: Chicago

Ian was born and raised in Chicago by a single mom who would not take no for an answer that her son would be an achiever and have experience of family, regardless of the lack of a father. He grew to be an open, street-savvy boy with a tendency to be the one to 'settle things' in the name of the underdog. He has always been very respectful to women and a high achiever throughout school and college. He has a slight distaste for authority that has not convinced him of its worth (that's everyone, he'd say ;) ) and loves wit in every shape and form.

He won a scholarship in Chicago University for his undergratuate course and has always worked through school. He entered the university Drama Club and became a favourite with his interpretations of characters and plays. He met Anna and was smitten by the first time they met in the cafeteria where she was crazy for a shot of coffee.

edit: I forgot to add that one of the things he did for a living while saving up to go to university and landing that scholarship was becoming an ambulance driver and getting his basic paramedic training (at age 20). Then seeing as he would be able to help out his mother better with a better paycheck, he enrolled in the next step of the paramedic program and got his degree. Until age 27, when his mother died, he kept at the job but after that he decided to stop, for reasons he also has never explained and landed that scholarship at Chicago a year later. He met Anna in his sophomore year.

The rest is common history with her ;)
