    Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) Riley Keough, 26, is one of Hollywood’s rising stars. At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012. Riley’s talents landed her a title-lead as Jack in Bradley Rust Gray’s werewolf flick Jack and Diane. She also appeared alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which grossed nearly $167 million worldwide. Further in 2011, she completed work on director Nick Cassavetes’ film Yellow, starring alongside Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liota, as well as the Xan Cassavetes film Kiss of the Damned. As her camera talent evolves alongside her creative growth, so do the roles she is meant to play. Recently, she was the lead in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of director George Miller’s cult- classic Mad Max - Mad Max: Fury Road alongside a distinguished cast comprising of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Nick Hoult.

  • Yul Kwon, from Bullying Target to Reality TV Star by NPR Staff from Npr.Org  2012
    Name: Class: Yul Kwon, From Bullying Target to Reality TV Star By NPR Staff From Npr.Org 2012 Yul Kwon’s early life was mired with a host of challenges. Born to South Korean immigrants in New York, Kwon never had a positive role model from his community. In 2006, he decided to join the cast of Survivor and make a name for himself in popular culture. As you read, take notes on how Yul Kwon overcame his personal demons to become a role model for other Asian Americans. [1] Yul Kwon first earned his game-changer status when the Yale University-trained lawyer put his career on hold to compete on the CBS show Survivor in 2006. He became the first Asian- American to win that show's $1 million prize. That led to work as a special correspondent for CNN, a lecturer at the FBI Academy, and deputy chief of the Federal Communication Commission's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau. Kwon currently hosts the news program LinkAsia on LinkTV, and recently finished hosting PBS' America Revealed, a mini documentary series "Yul J. Kwon" is licensed under CC BY 2.0. about agriculture, transportation, energy and manufacturing. Being A Target Of Bullying Kwon's early life involved a host of challenges. He was born in 1975 in New York to South Korean immigrants. He tells Tell Me More host Michel Martin he had a severe lisp as a kid, so many people assumed he was a foreigner who could not speak English properly. Kwon says he grew increasingly quiet to avoid being teased or beaten up.

  • Tax Man Chases Dread Pirate Roberts
    Robert W. Wood THE TAX LAWYER Dec. 25 2012 Tax Man Chases Dread Pirate Roberts (Like A Rodent Of Unusual Size) Cary Elwes’ defining role was as Robin Wright Penn’s beloved farm boy Westley in The Princess Bride. He morphed from farm boy into Dread Pirate Roberts and managed to survive due in part to his immunity to Iocane Powder. Unfortunately, it appears that the actor isn’t immune to tax liens or to the tax problems they evidence. In fact, tax (Photo credit: Wikipedia) collectors in the Golden State claim Elwes hasn’t paid his state taxes since 2009 and now owes $26,207.82. See Princess Bride Star Cary Elwes Running From The Tax Man. There are suggestions Elwes has other debts too. A tax lien is hardly as scary as RODENTS OF UNUSUAL SIZE, and things can fall through the cracks. This may sound like a minor tax debt, but California tax authorities want their money. Of course, Elwes clearly isn’t the first celebrity to be caught in the tax crosshairs. Even big names like Martin Scorsese ($2.85 million) and Al Pacino ($188,000) have faced tax liens, although both their oops tax problems were tied to convicted celebrity accountant Kenneth Starr. Scorsese, See Pacino Whacked by IRS Tax Liens. Sometimes tax liens are even wrong. See Dionne Warwick Proves IRS Tax Liens Can Be Wrong. Most of the time, though, tax liens are steps in the tax collection process and eventually lead to payment. The IRS and the states can file liens and any lien can be significant.
