• MICHAEL CAINE (Fred Ballinger) is a two-time Academy Award® winning film legend whose career has spanned six decades.  Caine won his first Oscar® for Best Supporting Actor for his work in Woody Allen’s “Hannah and Her Sisters,” for which he also received Golden Globe® and BAFTA Award nominations. He took home his second Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for his role in Lasse Hallström’s “The Cider House Rules,” also winning a Screen Actors Guild Award® and earning Golden Globe and BAFTA Award nominations.  His prestigious filmography includes “Alfie,” “Sleuth,” “Educating Rita,” and “The Quiet American,” all of which garnered him Oscar® nominations, as well as “The Man Who Would Be King,” “Children of Men,” and six films directed by Christopher Nolan: “The Dark Knight” Triology, “Inception,” and “Interstellar.” He can next be seen in Jon Chu’s “Now You See Me: The Second Act” out June 2016 and has recently wrapped shooting Zach Braff's "Going In Style," alongside Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin.

• To pigeonhole HARVEY KEITEL (Mick Boyle) as a master of edgy degenerates and killers would have dismissed the actor’s many successes with surly husbands, benign cops and intrepid detectives.  His prolific but slow-to-ignite career began with memorably unlikable supporting roles in Martin Scorsese character studies TAXI DRIVER and ALICE DOESN’T LIVE HERE ANYMORE.  An Academy Award- nominated supporting role in BUGSY heralded a new beginning for Keitel, and he became a favorite on the indie film scene of the 1990s through his collaboration with Quentin Tarantino cult classics RESERVOIR DOGS and PULP FICTION.  He also had several successes when he chose to tap his inner soft side in Jane Campion’s THE PIANO, but by far, he was the go-to guy for potentially explosive everymen, grizzled police force veterans and G-men in both subtle indies and gun-blazing big budget adventures alike.
• Academy Award-winning actress RACHEL WEISZ (Lena), who is known for portraying women of incredible spirit and intelligence, continues to seek out challenging projects and roles both on screen and on stage.

   

  Receiving unanimous critical praise opposite Ralph Fiennes, in 2005 Weisz earned a Screen Actors Guild Award, Golden Globe Award and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Fernando Meirelles' film adaptation of the best-selling John le Carre novel, THE CONSTANT GARDNER. Similarly, in 2012 she received a Golden Globe Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama nomination for her highly acclaimed performance in Terence Davies' THE DEEP BLUE SEA, a film adaptation of Terrence Rattigan's play. Her performance in this independent film also earned her Best Actress awards from The New York Film Critics Circle, and the Toronto Film Critics Association.
