He appeared in Season 3 of the hit Showtime series “The Tudors” as ‘Duke Philip of Bavaria,’ where he caught the eye of many industry followers. In 2010, Colin decided to head to Hollywood, where he instantly landed the lead role of ‘Michael Kovak’ and worked alongside Academy-Award winner Sir Anthony Hopkins in the New Line Cinema feature “The Rite,” directed by Mikael Hafstrom. The following year, he starred in the ABC pilot “Identity,” opposite Angela Bassett for executive producer Mark Gordon (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Criminal Minds,” “Private Practice”), and booked the co-lead opposite BAFTA winner Noel Clarke in Johannes Roberts’ sci-fi film “Storage 24” for Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

  • 100 Sexiest Women in Comics List
    100 sexiest women in comics list Continue As of 2017, Israeli actress Gal Gadot is the latest winner of FHM's 100 Sexiest Women. FHM's 100 Sexiest Women is an annual list compiled by the monthly British male lifestyle magazine FHM, on the basis of which women they consider sexy. As of 2017, each year the list is first announced through a section on the official FHM website, FHM.com. The first list was published in 1995 and was voted on by a group of 250 judges. The first winner was German supermodel Claudia Schiffer. From 1996 to 2015, the public voted for him, and at the peak of his growth, several million votes were cast each year. Then the winners were British singer Cheryl, American actress Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez. (nb 1) At 36, Berry was the oldest woman ever to top the listing, while Lopez was the first to top it up more than once. By the time FHM stopped publishing its print edition in January 2016, the list of the 100 sexiest women had been compiled 21 times. Currently, the winner of the title Sexiest Woman is the Israeli actress Gal Gadot. Along with the list of the 100 sexiest women, FHM also published the List of Most Suitable Bachelors in 2006 and 2007 to celebrate such qualities as talent, star quality and cash. These lists were topped by American actress Mischa Barton and American socialite Kimberly Stewart, respectively. To mark the 10th and 20th anniversary of the list of the 100 sexiest women, two one-off charts showing the sexiest women were compiled in April 2004 and May 2014.

  • Gal Gadot Wears the Legendary Tiffany &
    Gal Gadot Wears the Legendary Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti® Bone Cuff in her New Film, Wonder Woman 1984, in Theaters and Streaming on HBO Max December 25 | 1 Official Trailer, Wonder Woman 1984 Wonder Woman 1984 premieres Christmas Day and features Gal Gadot reprising her iconic role as Wonder Woman and alter ego Diana Prince. In the Patty Jenkins directed film, Gadot, as Prince, is wardrobed in the legendary Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti® Bone cuff in 18k yellow gold, a nod to Wonder Woman’s indestructible cuffs and a tribute to Prince’s real self—a hero. “Elsa Peretti® Bone cuff is still, to this day, the most stunning piece of jewelry that I’ve ever seen. I first became aware of this work of beauty when I received a small one as a gift from an ex’s mother. I loved it immediately, but even still, many years later when I glimpsed an editorial shot of someone wearing the long Bone cuff online, I didn’t realize it was related, and obsessively searched for what it was. When I found out it was Peretti’s extended cuff, it sealed the collection as a masterwork of adornment. My love of the cuffs became magically relevant when I directed the Wonder Woman films, as they marry perfectly with the character. As a result, we featured them as the one piece of jewelry that Diana Prince would choose in Wonder Woman 1984. It looks absolutely stunning on her, and I can’t wait for the world to see it featured in that way.” — Patty Jenkins The groundbreaking Elsa Peretti® design was introduced 50 years ago and perfectly contours to the wrist, showcasing the ergonomic sensuality that informs all of Peretti’s Tiffany & Co.

  • Crítica: Mujer Maravilla
    Crítica: Mujer Maravilla Gal Gadot se apropió de la Mujer Maravilla. Ya en salas de cine de La Paz. Fotos: Internet. Kinetoscopio Por Marco A. Hernández Maciel Calificación: ***** Clásico imperdible La Paz, Baja California Sur (BCS).Cuando Gal Gadot fue anunciada como la protagonista de Wonder Woman, la misoginia y demás horribles valores que explotan desde el anonimato de las redes sociales empezaron a emerger como burbujas en agua hirviendo: “es que le falta arriba, es que no tiene nada detrás, ha de ser campeona de natación, como que le hace falta más carnita”. En los foros de Facebook, comentarios en Twitter y cualquier otra plataforma o foro donde se pudiera discutir, la guerra entre marvelitas y dcliebers la iban ganado los primeros pues La Viuda Negra encarnada por Scarlett Johansson cumplía con la cuota de voluptuosidad que una heroína –según ellos– debe tener. Entonces llegó Batman v Superman, y entre las dudas de Kal-El para comportarse como un auténtico Superman y las crisis existenciales de Batman, Diana de Temyscira llegó a salvar el día liderando a este equipo de héroes y librando al mundo de Doomsday (ups!, spoiler de Batman v Superman!). Porque fue ella, con seguridad, fiereza, agilidad, fuerza, liderazgo, entrega y heroísmo que pudieron hacer equipo para derrotar esta amenaza. Fue ella, quien arrebató todas las miradas con su porte y cautivó a todos los oídos con su impresionante tema, cimbrando el suelo con los tambores y después, alentando a la pelea con ese requinto eléctrico que semeja un cuerno de guerra. En no más de 10 minutos en pantalla, Gal Gadot se apropió de la Mujer Maravilla.

  • Annual Report
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT UNION COUNTY FOUNDATION Invest Today . Shape Tomorrow. A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 2016 - The Year in Review We are grateful for another year of growth at the Union County Foundation. Our menu of Funds has increased to over 90 which represents a healthy 10% increase from last year. And it seems like every time we turn around we are receiving an inquiry asking how to start a scholarship fund. Through the outstanding efforts of UCF Director of Finance Sue Devine, our online scholarship platform continues to be among our finest offerings. Students, school guidance counselors, recommendation letter writers, and application evaluators all agree the program is outstanding. We are proud to have awarded in excess of $500,000 in scholarships over the last five years. The Foundation’s charitable reach is substantial but nothing we do is more important than supporting post secondary education through these scholarships. Also of note in 2016 we successfully hosted our second annual Marysville Charity Car Show and UCF Covered Bridges Tour (cycling event). Both of these events serve to create awareness about the Foundation and to raise important dollars in support of our operations. At our annual Foundation Celebration event we were pleased to be able to honor the Lee Family of Marysville. The Lee’s have been friends and supporters of the Foundation for four generations. Gary Lee was a founding trustee and in many ways responsible for the Foundation’s trajectory of growth. Thank you Gary and family! Each year brings new challenges and new opportunities to our staff and board.
