Known primarily for his role as Gilligan in the CBS sitcom "Gilligan's Island" (1964-67), Bob Denver initially came to the public's attention as beatnik Maynard G Krebs, the nonconformist "good buddy" of the title character in "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" (CBS, 1959-63). Relating the two young men's misadventures as they attempted to find themselves, the comedy series detailed their life in hometown Central City before documenting their stint in the army and their return to Central City as junior college students. Work was a dirty word to Maynard, and Denver's portrayal of this unconventional character delighted viewers while reinforcing the stereotype of the slothful beatnik.Thanks to its popularity in reruns, "Gilligan's Island" has guaranteed Denver's fame, but he has not been able to find subsequent roles to shake people's identification with him as the bumbling first mate. The three hour cruise led to a three year run, three extension episodes and two animated series, and fans never caring to answer the disturbing question regarding castaway luggage sufficient for three seasons simply entered into the spirit of the farce. Perhaps in an attempt to capitalize on "Gilligan" chemistry, CBS included both Alan Hale Jr (the skipper from "Gilligan") and Jim Backus (Thurston Howell III) in the cast of "The Good Guys" (1968-70). Neither that series nor the syndicated "Dusty Trails" (1973-74) that reunited him with "Gilligan" creator Sherwood Schwartz would capture the public's imagination, and no one picked up pilots for "Scamps" (1983), "The Invisible Woman" (1983) or "High School, U.S.A. (1983).

Although he thought the film was a one-time lark, his innate athletic ability and infectious personality secured him steady work in the entertainment industry. On television Troyer has been seen in the series "Shasta McNasty," "VIP," and "Jack of all Trades."

Jennifer Lopez has in the past gotten more attention for the size of her backside than the quality of her work. But, in 1998 her career exploded - both in music and in film, finally overcoming the cult appeal of her rear end, although not completely curbing the amount of jokes and quotes devoted to her derriere.Despite her Puerto Rican background, Jennifer Lopez was born right smack dab in the Bronx. She lived in the section they refer to as "Castle Hill," and being in the Bronx she had to take the 6 train to get to Manhattan for work, hence the name of her first album, "On the Six." Her parents are David Lopez, a computer specialist at Guardian Insurance, and her mother, a schoolteacher in New York. Both parents are from Puerto Rico, but raised Jennifer here in the United States. Jennifer has two sisters, Maria and Linda (an Entertainment Correspondent for WB Network in New York). As Jennifer grew up, her body began to take the shape that is now world renknown. She was known as "La Guitarra" (Spanish for "The Guitar") because of the way her body shaped.

A native of Scarborough, Canada, where he was born on May 25, 1963, Myers seemed destined to link up with Saturday Night Live; when he made his TV debut in a commercial at the age of eight, the actress playing his mother was none other than a pre-SNL Gilda Radner. Myers went on to appear in a number of Canadian television shows, and after graduating high school, he almost immediately joined Second City, Toronto's famed improv group. By the age of 20, Myers was the star of his own TV series, Mullarkey and Myers, and also did time as the veejay of an all-night Canadian music video show. While he worked on various programs, the comedian continued to hone the characterizations that would later make him famous on SNL. The Wayne's World character of Wayne Campbell, for example, was one that Myers had been doing since high school, when he used the impersonation to impress girls at parties.In 1989, Myers fulfilled a longtime dream by becoming a member of Saturday Night Live. During his time on the show, which lasted until 1994, he won an Emmy for his writing, and he starred alongside fellow-SNL cast member Dana Carvey in the successful 1992 film Wayne's World. Unfortunately for Myers, the film's 1993 sequel, Wayne's World 2, proved to be a disappointment, as did his other film that year, So I Married an Axe Murderer. However, he struck gold four years later, writing and starring in the sleeper hit Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. The film's success all but guaranteed a sequel, but before writing and starring in it, Myers explored previously uncharted dramatic territory in 54 (1998). His portrayal of the titular club's drug-addled owner, Steve Rubell, met with wide acclaim; unfortunately, it was about the only aspect of the film that did. The following year, Myers switched back to comedy with the much-anticipated Austin Powers sequel, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. The recipient of a marketing campaign whose volume was bested only by that of Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace, the film was even more popular than the original (which made more money on home video than in its initial theatrical release), although not as well received by critics. That same year, Myers returned to more northerly climes and his lifelong love of hockey when he appeared in Mystery, Alaska, which was helmed by Austin Powers director Jay Roach.In 2001, Myers made an audible return to movie screens as an unsightly ogre with the kid-friendly fairy tale spoof Shrek. Realizing that his voice-over work didn't quite work after having recorded all of his dialogue, Myers dusted off the patented Scottish accent he had utilized with humorous effect in both SNL and So I Married an Axe Murderer and breathed new life into the tale of an unlikely hero enlisted to restore order to the land of fairy tales and rescue the princess. A hit with children and adults alike, Shrek scored big in the 2001 summer movie season, easily holding its own against such heavies as Pearl Harbor and The Mummy Returns.

Jennifer, or Rachel, was born in Sherman Oaks, CA on February 11th, 1969. Jennifer has a Greek background, and when she was a child spent a year living there with her family. She later moved to New York when her father, John Aniston, grabbed a role on the show "Love of Life". Because of her father, who stars on NBC's daytime drama "Days of Our Lives", and her godfather, Telly Savalas, Jennifer was exposed to acting at a very early age. At eleven, she joined the Rudolf Steiner School's drama club. Jennifer says, "I was always fascinated by acting, but my experience at Rudolf Steiner encouraged me to pursue it as a career. Steiner was a free-spirited school that encouraged creativity and individualism." Here she developed a passion for art. That same year, a painting of Jennifer's was displayed in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. She then went on to New York's High School of the Performing Arts to begin her professional training. After she graduated in 1987, she got roles in the Off-Broadway productions "For Dear Life" and "Dancing on Checker's Grave". In 1989 she got her first television role as a regular on "Molloy". She also has had regular roles on "The Edge" and "Ferris Bueller"(the TV show), along with a recurring part on "Herman's Head", and apperances on "Quantum Leap" and "Burkes Law". During this summer's hiatus, Jennifer can be seen in the upcoming movie "She's the One". She also just completed the feature film "Dreams for an Insomniac" starring Ioke Skye and Mackenzie Astin. Jennifer currently lives in Los Angeles and enjoys hiking, camping, and activities that bring her closer to nature. She also likes to spend a lot of time working on art projects.
