Kevin Pollack

Abe Saperstein

Kevin Pollak started as stand-up comedian in San Francisco at age Twenty. A few years later he moved to Los Angeles with dreams of appearing on The Tonight Show w/ Johnny Carson, and being in movies… 200 acting auditions later, his role in Ron Howard’s “Willow” brought him directly to the couch on Carson’s “Tonight Show.” After his first appearance, Kevin was invited back to chat with Johnny two or three times a year until he retired. Years later, Comedy Central named Pollak to their Top 100 Comedians of All Time list, and he continues to perform around the country, from time to time. In 1992, Pollak’s role in Rob Reiner’s "A Few Good Men,” proved his ability to stand out on the big screen among cinematic icons. The unplanned transformation of Kevin becoming a dramatic actor was further established two years later, when he co-starred in "The Usual Suspects” and Martin Scorsese’s "Casino"; in the same year. Kevin has now co-starred in over 90 films, with four more due out in 2024/2025.

New fortunes found Pollak on the small screen in 2017… After being offered the part of Moishe Maisel in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Kevin felt another historic adventure was beginning… Amazon Prime Studios’ worldwide hit enjoyed a meteoric rise, gathering 20 Emmy Awards in its first 3 seasons (including Best Comedy), 3 Golden Globes, 5 Critics Choice awards, and many more from the Directors Guild, Writers Guild, and Producers Guild. The entire cast were given Screen Actors Guild Awards two years in a row for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series.

Pollak insists, “Co-starring on this show, with these astonishing actors, and actual genius creator/writers/directors in Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino, was life-changing in the truest sense.” Pollak’s first outing as a film director, the comedy documentary Misery Loves Comedy, premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. It hit #1 on iTunes Documentaries in two days, and is available on Amazon Prime. Kevin then directed the indie comedy, “The Late Bloomer,” casting J.K. Simmons, Jane Lynch, Maria Bello, Brittany Snow, Kumail Nanjiani and Beck Bennett, which brought Kevin his first directing award, and is available on Netflix. At present, Pollak is in pre-production on his next film to direct. Pollak was also a pioneer in the podcast world. His multi award-winning Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show ran from ’09-’19, and featured the longest on-camera chats creative icons like Tom Hanks, Larry David or Jordan Peele have given.

There are 400 of these interviews to choose from on YouTube. Kevin’s autobiography, How I Slept My Way To The Middle, was published in 2012. That same year Pollak’s notable “deep run” in the 2012 World Series Of Poker Main Event may have ended with Queens vs Queens, but finishing 134 (out of 6750 players) remains the best finish for a well-known actor or comedian in the last 25 years. Kevin cashed again in the WSOP Main Event in 2019, and in 2024 he cashed a third time in the Main Event, besting 8,900 players.

Richard Dreyfuss

Maurice Podoloff

Richard Dreyfuss is an American leading man, who has played his fair share of irritating pests and brash, ambitious hustlers.

He was born Richard Stephen Dreyfus in Brooklyn, New York, to Geraldine (Robbins), an activist, and Norman Dreyfus, a restaurateur and attorney. His paternal grandparents were Austro-Hungarian Jewish immigrants, and his mother's family was Russian Jewish.

Richard worked his way up through bit parts (The Graduate, for one) and TV before gaining attention with his portrayal of Baby Face Nelson in John Milius' Dillinger. He gained prominence as a college-bound young man in American Graffiti and as a nervy Jewish kid with high hopes in The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. By the latter part of the 1970s Dreyfuss was established as a major star, playing leads (and alter-egos) for Steven Spielberg in two of the top-grossing films of the that decade: Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. He won a Best Actor Oscar in his first romantic lead as an out-of-work actor in The Goodbye Girl. Dreyfuss also produced and starred in the entertaining private eye movie The Big Fix. After a brief lull in the early 1980s, a well-publicized drug problem and a string of box-office disappointments (The Competition, Whose Life Is It Anyway?, The Buddy System), a clean and sober Dreyfuss re-established himself in the mid-'80s as one of Hollywood's more engaging leads. He co-starred with Bette Midler and Nick Nolte in Paul Mazursky's popular Down and Out in Beverly Hills. That same year he provided the narration and appeared in the opening and closing "bookends" of Rob Reiner's nostalgic Stand by Me. He quickly followed that with Nuts opposite Barbra Streisand, Barry Levinson's Tin Men in a memorable teaming with Danny DeVito, and Stakeout with Emilio Estevez. Dreyfuss continued working steadily through the end of the 1980s and into the 1990s, most notably in Mazursky's farce Moon Over Parador, Spielberg's Always, Postcards from the Edge and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. He appeared as a member of an ensemble that included Holly Hunter, Gena Rowlands and Danny Aiello in the romantic comedy Once Around and as a pop psychiatrist, the author of several successful self-help books, who is driven to the edge by nutcase Bill Murray in the popular comedy What About Bob?. Dreyfuss has also remained active in the theater ("Death and Maiden", 1992) and on TV. In his next project he starred the thriller Silent Fall with John Lithgow and Linda Hamilton, being the film debut of Liv Tyler, Steven Tyler's daughter (Aerosmith's lead vocals). Just later Dreyfuss made Another Stakeout, sequel of Stakeout where was team again with Emilio Estevez accompanied of Rosie O'Donnell, the adaptation of Neil Simon's play Lost in Yonkers and followed with a supporting turn as the querulous political opponent in The American President. Dreyfuss received some of the best notices of his career as a determined, inspiring music teacher coping with a deaf son and the demands of his career in Mr. Holland's Opus. Closing the 20th century he was in Sidney Lumet's Night Falls on Manhattan with Andy Garcia, the crime comedy Mad Dog Time as the mob boss Vic, the screwball comedy Krippendorf's Tribe about an anthropologist who creates a false lost New Guinea tribe for not losing his job in the university, TV movie Lansky about the infamous mob boss to end, the too TV movie Fail Safe playing The President, and The Crew, about four older mobsters retired in Miami, partnering with Hollywood legends Burt Reynolds, Dan Hedaya and Seymour Cassel.

His start in the 21st century was with the adaption of Luis Sepúlveda's novel The Old Man Who Read Love Stories, playing an old man to must to hunt a female jaguar turned crazy. It was followed by the supporting apparition in the comedy Who Is Cletis Tout? and another TV movie about 1981 Ronald Reagan's shooting The Day Reagan Was Shot. After the short-lived TV series The Education of Max Bickford about a teacher in a women's college where his daughter is student, Dreyfuss returned to cinema in Silver City and the box-office bomb Poseidon with Kurt Russell, Emmy Rossum and Josh Lucas. Playing former vice-president Dick Cheney in the Oliver Stone's biopic W. and Irv, the cunning tourist in Greece turned in assistant of a troubled tour guide in My Life in Ruins, Dreyfuss participated in low-budget productions as Leaves of Grass and The Lightkeepers, for making a cameo in the wild and crazy Piranha 3D about prehistoric men-eater piranhas that make a bloodbath in a spring break. Returning to first line playing evil Alexander Dunning in the actioner RED, his further productions included Paranoia as Liam Hemsworth's father partnering Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman, road movie Cas & Dylan opposites Tatiana Maslany and the biopic TV mini-series Madoff about the infamous multi-billion-dollar and hustler Bernie Madoff. Tireless and always implied in new projects, Dreyfuss played George, the funny online date of Candice Bergen in Book Club, the comedy and road movie The Last Laugh with Chevy Chase, and the set in wilderness thriller Daughter of the Wolf with Gina Carano and Brendan Fehr. Making his 73rd birthday in 2020, Dreyfuss is an example of talent, diversity and love for his work, touching not only all the genres in cinema but leaving an unforgettable footprint at any of them.

Jim Caviezel

Sports Writer

James Patrick Caviezel was born on September 26, 1968 in Mount Vernon, Washington. He was one of five children born to Margaret (Lavery), a former stage actress, and James Caviezel, a chiropractor. The Caviezels are a closely knit Catholic family. He is of Irish (mother) and Swiss-Romansh and Slovak (father) descent; the surname, "Caviezel", is Romansh. As a boy, Jim was described as being "very intense." His two main interests growing up were sports and religion. He was athletically gifted on the basketball court and dreamed of someday playing in the N.B.A. He was also instilled with Christianity at a very young age, attending Church regularly with his family. In 1984, he went to Mount Vernon High School but transferred to O'Dea High School after two years. The following spring, he transferred again to Burien Kennedy High School in Burien, Washington where he was a star on the basketball team and graduated in 1987. While at O'Dea and Kennedy, he stayed with family friends. Following high school Jim enrolled at Bellevue Community College where he again played on the basketball team. A foot injury in his sophomore season put an end to Jim's basketball career and his dreams of playing in the N.B.A. Shortly after this, he turned his focus toward acting. In 1990, he auditioned for a part in the independent film My Own Private Idaho. He won a very small role as a foreign airline clerk after he told casting agents that he was a recent Italian immigrant. The following year, Jim moved to Los Angeles where he worked as a waiter between auditions. He landed small roles in Diggstown and Wyatt Earp and guest starring roles on The Wonder Years and Murder, She Wrote. He continued to go relatively unnoticed in small roles and even thought about quitting acting until 1998 when he received critical recognition for his role as idealist Private Witt in The Thin Red Line. The following year, he gained further recognition with roles in Ride with the Devil and Frequency. In 2001, his role as Jennifer Lopez's love interest in Angel Eyes helped to establish him as a versatile actor and leading man. It wasn't until 2002 that Jim made his strong religious beliefs known. While filming High Crimes, he refused to do any love scenes with on-screen wife Ashley Judd because it conflicted with his strong Catholic faith. It was also around this time when he was chosen by Mel Gibson to star as Jesus Christ in The Passion of the Christ. The movie made headlines and broke box-office records around the world, becoming one of the highest grossing films of all time. Although the movie dealt with controversial matters, Caviezel's performance was acclaimed by both critics and viewers. Jim's next big role would be on the small screen. In 2011, he landed the lead role in the CBS crime drama Person of Interest. The show instantly clicked with audiences, becoming one of the highest rated shows on television. From an outcast actor to a respected film star to a television star, James Caviezel is continuing to give his best to play challenging roles. Off screen, Jim lives with his wife, Kerri, a school teacher whom he met on a blind date in 1993 and married in 1996, and their adopted children.
