Kirron Anupam Kher (also Kiran[1] or, Kiron[2][3][4] born 14 June 1955) is anIndian theatre, film and television actress, a TV talk show host and a member of the Bhartiya Janata Party. In May 2014, she was elected to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Indian Parliament from Chandigarh.

Family[edit]

Kirron Kher was born on 14 June 1955 in a Sikh family and grew up inChandigarh.[5][6] She was named ‘Kiran’ by her parents and her full name was ‘Kiran Thakar Singh.’ During the period of her first marriage to Gautam Berry, she was known as ‘Kiran Berry.’ When she married Anupam Kher, she resumed her maiden name and also added her latest husband’s surname, being known as ‘Kiran Thakar Singh Kher.’ In later life, she developed a firm belief in numerology, and in 2003 (aged 48), she changed her name from “Kiran” to “Kirron” based on numerological calculations,[7] dropped her maiden names, and came to be known as ‘Kirron Kher.’

Kirron has one brother and two sisters. Her brother, the artist Amardeep Singh, died in 2003.[8] One of her sisters is the Arjuna award-winning badminton player, Kanwal Thakar Kaur. Her other sister, Sharanjit Kaur Sandhu, is the wife of a retired senior officer of the Indian Navy.

Marriages[edit]

Kirron completed her school education in Chandigarh, and then graduated from the Department of Indian Theatre of Punjab University, Chandigarh. She then married Gautam Berry, a rich Mumbai-based businessman, and had a son, Sikandar Kher.[9]

In Mumbai, Kiran tried throughout the 1980s to get a foothold in the film industry, but without success. While visiting producer after producer seeking a role in films, Kirron renewed her acquaintance with Anupam Kher, who was also a similarly struggling actor, and whom she had known slightly at university in Chandigarh. Anupam was also already married to someone else. Moving in the same theatre circles, they worked together in a play called Chandpuri Ki Champabai. In 1985, after Anupam had secured a break in films with Saaransh, he divorced his wife, Kirron divorced her husband, and they were married to each other the same year. They now run a production house together.[8][10]

Career[edit]

Kiran Kher made her film debut in 1983 in the Punjabi feature film Aasra Pyar Da, a non-descript production which sank without a trace. After this, she took a hiatus from films.[11] Between 1983 and 1996, she appeared in exactly one film,Pestonjee (1987), wherein she acted in a bit role alongside her second husband Anupam Kher.

Her return to acting came in the mid-1990s, through theatre, with the play Saalgirah written by playwright Javed Siddiquiand directed by Feroz Abbas Khan.[2] She then hosted three television shows, starting with the short-lived Purushkshetra onZee TV which got attention for bringing out the discussion of alternative sexuality for the first time, while also highlighting women’s issues.[12] Kiron Kher Today and Jagte Raho with Kiron Kher, before doing Hindi films.[13]

Her comeback film was by Shyam Benegal, Sardari Begum (1996), which won her the Special Jury Award at the 1997National Film Awards.

She then appeared in film director Rituparno Ghosh‘s Bengali film Bariwali (1999), to critical acclaim.[3] When she won theNational Film Award for Best Actress for the film, a controversy arose as a Bangla film actress, Rita Koiral, claimed that she had dubbed for the character of Kiron, making her an equal claimant to the award. Kirron refuted the charges claiming she spent hours rehearsing for her dialogue delivery, and the award was eventually not shared.[3][4]

In 2002, Kirron appeared in Devdas (2002), alongside Shahrukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai, and was nominated for the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award.

In Khamosh Pani (Silent Waters) (2003),[14] a film that portrays the plight of a woman abducted during partition of India, her character not only refused to kill herself as suggested by her family, but marries her abductor and, after his death, makes an earning teaching Quran to local children. It shows how her life changes dramatically when her son takes up Islamic extremism in 1979 during the rule of Zia-ul-Haq and his process of Islamization of Pakistan.[15] She won the Best Actress Award, at Locarno International Film Festival, Switzerland, the Karachi International Film Festival, Karachi, and International Festivals at Ciepie in Argentina,[16] and Cape Town in South Africa [3][17] while the film won the Best Film – Golden Leopard, Festival Grand Prize at Locarno.[18]

The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA) 2004 paid tribute to Kirron during its annual festival.[19][20]

In October 2004 Kirron made a guest appearance, along with her husband, in the American TV series ER playingParminder Nagra‘s mother, Mrs. Rasgotra, in episode “Damaged.”[21]

In 2005, she played the role of Sunanda in the tele-serial Prratima on Sahara One channel, before which she had appeared in TV series like Dil Na Jaane Kyon (Zee TV), Isi Bahane, and Chausath Panne.[22]

Despite playing mostly supporting roles, her successful movies include Main Hoon Na (2004), Hum Tum (2004), Veer-Zaara (2004), and Mangal Pandey: The Rising (2005), where her performance drew rave reviews.[23] Her work in Rang De Basanti (2006) was a huge hit and her performance got her second nomination for the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award. Her role in Fanaa (2006) and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) also received appreciation. Adding to her list of comical roles in 2008 she appeared in Singh is Kinng, Saas bahu aur Sensex and Dostana.

She participated in the 2011 Indian anti-corruption movement with Anna Hazare, and organizedsit-ins in Chandigarh.[28] When a section of Anna’s team decided to form the Aam Aadmi Party, she opposed the decision stating that the team was better as a non political organization.[29]She has been a vocal admirer of BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi since long before his candidature was announced.[30] Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) declared her as the Lok Sabha candidate from Chandigarh for General Elections, 2014.

Mary-Kate Olsen (born June 13, 1986)[1] is an American actress, fashion designer, producer, author, and businesswoman. She co-founded luxury fashion brands The Row, Elizabeth and James, and the more affordable lines Olsenboye and StyleMint alongside her fraternal twin sister Ashley Olsen. Olsen pursued acting independently as an adult until 2012.[2] She is the older sister of actress Elizabeth Olsen.

Birth and family[edit]

Mary-Kate was born in Sherman Oaks, California, the daughter of Jarnette “Jarnie” (née Jones;[3] b. 1954), a personal manager, and David “Dave” Olsen, a real estate developer and mortgage banker.[4] Along with her twin, Ashley, she has an older brother, Trent, a younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen, and two half siblings from her father’s second marriage.[5] Olsen’s parents divorced in 1996.[6]

Career[edit]

Acting career[edit]

Along with Ashley, Olsen was cast at the age of nine months to share the role of Michelle Tanner on the ABC sitcom Full House. The Olsen twins portrayed Michelle throughout the series’ 1987–95 run. In the early 1990s, she and Ashley established a company, Dualstar, which produced a long string of TV movies and direct-to-video releases featuring the girls. The Olsens continued to release direct-to-video films up to the early 2000s, along with starring in the 1995 feature film It Takes Two. In 1997, the Olsen twins guest starred in an episode of Sister, Sister, alongside rival twin actresses Tia Mowryand Tamera Mowry. After Full House, the sisters starred in two other sitcoms (Two of a Kind and So Little Time) and an animated series (Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action!). The former lasted one season while the latter ran for two seasons. These ventures, combined with an array of licensing deals for their names and likenesses, made Olsen wealthy at a young age. In 2004, Olsen’s wealth was estimated at $137 million.[7]

Olsen and her sister became co-presidents of Dualstar upon their eighteenth birthday. Olsen’s first solo acting appearance was in the movie Factory Girl, released in December 2006. Olsen’s one short scene was ultimately cut from theatrical release, but was included on the film’s DVD. In 2007, the sisters said that if they became involved in movies together again it would be as producers.[8] Olsen had a recurring role on Weeds .[9] In 2008, she appeared in The Wackness. At theSundance Film Festival, Academy Award–winner Sir Ben Kingsley, her co-star’ praised her.[citation needed] In 2008 Olsen also made a guest appearance on the ABC comedy Samantha Who? as a self-destructive girl that Samantha tries to help.[10]Olsen appeared in the motion picture adaption of the Alex Flinn novel Beastly.[11] Beastly was Mary-Kate’s final acting project.[12]

In March 2012, both Mary-Kate and Ashley indicated their interest to retire as actresses in order to focus on their careers in fashion.[13] Mary-Kate and Ashley felt that their futures were in fashion, and not in acting. They discussed wanting to open a store as one of their future fashion-based endeavors.[14][15]

In 2015 it was announced that John Stamos signed on with Netflix to produce and co-star in Fuller House, a spin-off Full House that would reunite the original cast members for a 13-episode series. Mary-Kate and Ashley originally announced in May 2015 that they will not reprise their role as Michelle Tanner.[16]

Nickelodeon acquired the rights to the Olsen twins’ video library in 2015.[17]

Dualstar[edit]

Main article: Dualstar

In 1993, following Mary-Kate and Ashley’s success on Full House, a limited liability company, Dualstar was created to produce Mary-Kate and Ashley-branded products.

In 2004, both Mary-Kate and Ashley took control of Dualstar, becoming joint-CEOs and presidents of the company, which at the time had its merchandise being carried in over 3,000 stores in America and 5,300 stores worldwide.

Net worth and influence[edit]

Mary-Kate and her twin Ashley’s success has been marked by their inclusion on every Forbes The Celebrity 100 list since 2002,[citation needed]. In 2007 Forbes ranked the twins jointly as the eleventh-richest women in entertainment, with an estimated combined net worth of $100 million.[18]

Fashion career[edit]

Following a high volume of public interest in their fashion choices, the sisters began work in collaboration on a string of fashion lines available to the public. Starting as young girls, the Olsen twins started a clothing line in Wal-Mart stores across America for girls ages 4 to 14 as well as a beauty line called “Mary-Kate and Ashley: Real fashion for real girls“. In 2004 they made news by signing a pledge to allow all the workers that sew their line of clothing in Bangladesh full maternity leave. The National Labor Committee, which organized the pledge, later praised the twins for their commitment to worker rights.[19]

In 2006, in an attempt to gain credibility in the fashion industry after their association with Wal-Mart tarnished their reputations, they were tapped as the faces of the upscale fashion line Badgley Mischka.[20]

As adults, the Olsen twins have devoted much of their attention to the world of fashion. They head a couture fashion label, “The Row,” as well as “Elizabeth and James”, “Olsenboye”, and “StyleMint”[21] retail collections. Mary-Kate’s sometimes controversial fashion choices have often found her on both the best[22][23] and worst dressed fashion lists, particularly for her decision to wear fur.[24] Mary-Kate and Ashley designed an Olsenboye Change Purse in 2011 and donated the money to “Pennies From Heaven”.[25]

In 2011, Mary-Kate and Ashley teamed up with TOMS Shoes to design footwear for kids without shoes in more than 20 countries worldwide.[26] Mary-Kate and Ashley are now the creative directors for Superga.[27] Mary-Kate and Ashley released an Elizabeth and James perfume in Spring 2013.[28] They won the top prize at the 2012 CFDA Fashion Awards.[29]StyleMint is now available in the UK.[30]

In October 2012, Mary-Kate and Ashley won the WSJ magazine Innovator of The Year Award.[31]

Mary Kate was nominated for Council Of Fashion Designers in 2015.[32]

Book[edit]

In 2008, the Olsen twins co-authored Influence, a book featuring interviews with fashion designers that have inspired the twins’ fashion lines.[33]

Personal life[edit]

Olsen has dated David Katzenberg, son of DreamWorks cofounder Jeffrey Katzenberg;[34] photographer Maxwell Snow;[35]and artist Nate Lowman.[1]

In May 2012, Olsen began a relationship with Olivier Sarkozy, half brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.[36]In March 2014, photos were published showing Olsen wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring.[37] Olsen and Sarkozy were married on November 27, 2015 at a private residence in New York City.[38]

In 2014, Olsen competed in the Hamptons Horse Show.[39] In 2013, her horse Marvelous competed in and won the 38th Hampton Classic Horse Show.[40]

Health issues[edit]

In mid-2004, Olsen announced she had entered treatment for anorexia nervosa.[41] A Got Milk? ad featuring the twins was pulled following the announcement.[42][43] On November 20, 2007, she was hospitalized for a reported kidney infection.[44]

Death of Heath Ledger[edit]

Mary-Kate was a close friend of late actor Heath Ledger.[45][46][47] After discovering Ledger unconscious in his bed in January 2008, his masseuse called Olsen twice before contacting police. Olsen sent a private security guard to the scene.[48]

Responding to a claim by an anonymous law enforcement official that she would not speak to federal investigators without a promise of legal immunity, Olsen’s attorney Michael C. Miller said, “We have provided the government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger’s death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed”.[49]

Timothy Allen Dick[1] (born June 13, 1953),[2] known professionally as Tim Allen, is an American actor and comedian.

He is known for his role as Tim “The Toolman” Taylor in the ABC television show Home Improvement (1991–99) as well as for his starring roles in several popular films, including Disney‘s The Santa Clause trilogy, Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story trilogy (as the voice of Buzz Lightyear), and Galaxy Quest (1999).[3][4]Since 2011, he has starred as Mike Baxter in the TV series Last Man Standing.

Early life[edit]

Allen was born in Denver, Colorado. He is the son of Martha Katherine (née Fox), a community-service worker, and Gerald M. Dick (1923–64), a real estate agent.[3][5] He is the third oldest of five brothers. His father died in a car accident, colliding with a drunk driver, when Allen was 11.[3][6] Two years later, his mother married her high school sweetheart, a successful business executive,[5] and moved with her six children to Birmingham, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, to be with her new husband and his three children.[7] Allen attended Seaholm High School in Birmingham, where he was in theater and music classes (resulting in his love of classical piano). He then attendedCentral Michigan University and transferred to Western Michigan University in 1974.[8] At Western Michigan, Allen worked at the student radio station WIDRand received a Bachelor of Science degree in communications specializing in radio and television production in 1976 with a split minor in philosophy and design.[7] In 1998, Western Michigan awarded Allen an honorary Fine Arts degree and the Distinguished Alumni Award.[8]

Career[edit]

Allen at the 45th Emmy Awards

Allen started his career as a comedian in 1975.[3] On a dare from one of his friends, he participated in a comedy night at Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle in Royal Oak, a suburb of Detroit. While in Detroit he began to get recognition appearing in local television commercials and appearing on cable comedy shows such as Gary Thison’s Some Semblance of Sanity. He moved to Los Angeles and became a regular performer at The Comedy Store. He began to do stand-up appearances on late-night talk shows and specials on record and film.[3]

Despite his admitted limited acting range (he once told a magazine his range as an actor is “strictly limited. I can only play a part if I can draw on personal experience, and that well can go dry pretty quickly”),[9] Allen rose to fame in acting with the ABCsitcom Home Improvement (1991–1999) produced for ABC by Wind Dancer Productions, a company he co-founded with producer Carmen Finestra. Allen played the main character Tim “The Tool-Man” Taylor.[3] In November 1994, he simultaneously starred in the highest grossing film (Disney‘s The Santa Clause), topped the New York Times best-seller list with his book Don’t Stand Too Close to a Naked Man, and appeared in the top rated television series (Home Improvement) within the span of one week.[3] Home Improvement ran until 1999, for which he was paid $1.25 million per episode.

In 1995, Allen provided the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the Disney/Pixar blockbuster Toy Story.[3] Simultaneous with his time acting in Home Improvement, Allen formed a race team with Steve Saleen and race driver Bob Bondurant, called the Saleen/Allen “RRR” Speedlab. The team raced Saleen Mustangs in the SCCA World Challenge, with Allen and Saleen as the team’s drivers.[citation needed] In 1997 he starred in the family comedy Jungle 2 Jungle from Disney. The next year he returned to voice Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 2 which was a financial and critical hit. Also in 1999 he starred in the sci-fi parody Galaxy Quest alongside Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and Sam Rockwell.[citation needed]

In 2002, he reprised his role as Scott “Santa Clause” Calvin in The Santa Clause 2. Two years later, he starred as Luther Krank in Christmas with the Kranks. In 2006, Zoom was released, starring Allen as Jack Shepard. The same year, he also starred in The Shaggy Dog and The Santa Clause 3.

Allen began narrating the “Pure Michigan” television and radio commercials for the “Travel Michigan” agency. These commercials can be seen and heard throughout the Midwest and began airing nationally in 2009.[10]

In December 2009 he started a preview tour of Crazy on the Outside, a film that debuted in January 2010. Allen accompanied the film, helping promote it with a series of stand-up acts beforehand. During the performances he told audiences that he planned a 2010 comedy tour. Allen also directed the film, marking his film directorial debut.[11]

Allen hosted the 8th Annual TV Land Awards on April 25, 2010.[12] That same year, he became the official voice of the Chevrolet Cruze, narrating commercials for the vehicle, and he became the voice of Campbell Soup’s “It’s Amazing What Soup Can Do” campaign.[13]

Since 2011, Allen has starred in another ABC sitcom, Last Man Standing. He plays the role of Mike Baxter, a conservativefather who is fighting for his manhood in his house filled with women.[14] The character is loosely based on his own life, as a Republican father of two girls.[15]

Personal life[edit]

On October 2, 1978, Allen was arrested in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport for possession of over 650 grams (1.43 lb) of cocaine. He subsequently pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges, and provided the names of other dealers in exchange for a sentence of three to seven years rather than a possible life imprisonment. He was paroled on June 12, 1981, after serving two years and four months in Federal Correctional Institution, Sandstone in Sandstone, Minnesota.[16][17][18] Allen had the Federal Bureau of Prisons Register # 04276-040.[19]

Allen was raised as an Episcopalian.[5] He was married to Laura Diebel from April 7, 1984, until they legally separated in 1999. Their divorce was finalized in 2003.[20]Their daughter Katherine was born in 1989.[citation needed] Allen married actress Jane Hajduk on October 7, 2006, in a small private ceremony in Grand Lake, Colorado. They had dated for five years.[21] In March 2009, their daughter Elizabeth was born.[22]

In 1997, Allen was arrested for DUI in Birmingham, Michigan, and was recorded as having a 0.15 percent blood-alcohol content.[23] He was sentenced to one year probation. He entered a rehabilitation clinic for alcohol abuse as part of his court obligation.[24]

In September 2014, Allen, like his character Mike Baxter in Last Man Standing, became a licensed amateur radio operator under the callsign KK6OTD.[25][26] Also like his character, Allen is a Republican.[27] He has appeared on Sean Hannity’s show[28] and announced support for John Kasich in the 2016 presidential election.[29]

Christopher Robert Evans (born June 13, 1981)[1] is an American actor. Evans is best known for his superhero roles as the Marvel Comics charactersCaptain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Human Torch inFantastic Four. He began his career on the 2000 television series Opposite Sex, moving to film in 2001 with the teen comedy Not Another Teen Movie. In 2013, he starred as the lead in the critically acclaimed science fiction action film Snowpiercer, and in 2015, he made his directorial debut with the dramaBefore We Go, in which he also starred.

Early life

Chris Evans was born in Boston[2] and raised in the town of Sudbury.[3] His mother, Lisa (Capuano), is an artistic director at the Concord Youth Theater,[4][5] and his father, Robert Evans, is a dentist.[6] He has two sisters, Carly,[6] a graduate of New York University‘s Tisch School of the Arts and a high school drama and English teacher atLincoln-Sudbury Regional High School,[4][7] Shanna,[6] and a younger[8] brother, Scott,[6] who was featured on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live. Their uncle, Mike Capuano, represents the same Massachusetts Congressional district formerly represented by Tip O’Neill.[9] His mother is of half Italian and half Irish ancestry.[9][10][11] He and his siblings were raisedCatholic.[10][11]

Evans graduated from Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School.[3] He moved to New York City and took classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.[12]

Career

In 1999, Evans was the model for ″Tyler″ in Hasbro‘s board game Mystery Date. The special edition of the game included an electronic phone, which Evans is shown speaking into on the game box.[13]

After filming wrapped on Not Another Teen Movie,[14] Evans landed lead roles in The Perfect Score and Cellular, and then starred in two independent films in Chicago: Dirk Wittenborn‘s Fierce People, playing the sinister Bryce, and London, playing a strung-out drug user with relationship problems.[15] He then played the superhero the Human Torch in the 2005comic book adaptation Fantastic Four. Evans reprised the role in the 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.[16] That year, he starred as engineer-turned-astronaut Mace in Danny Boyle‘s science-fiction film Sunshine.[17]

In 2008, Evans appeared in Street Kings, co-starring Keanu Reeves, and the Tennessee Williams screenplay adaptation The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, co-starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Ellen Burstyn. The following year he appeared in the science-fiction thrillerPush, with Dakota Fanning and Camilla Belle. Evans performed his own fight scenes, which took weeks to film, and was bruised during filming.[18]

In 2010, he completed filming on co-directors Mark Kassen and Adam Kassen‘s Puncture inHouston, Texas. The film was selected to debut at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival as one of the Spotlight projects for the 10th anniversary of the festival.[19] Also that year, Evans appeared in Sylvain White‘s The Losers, an adaptation of the comic-book series from theDC Comics imprint Vertigo.[20] Evans then appeared in another comic-book adaptation,Edgar Wright‘s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, where he portrayed Lucas Lee, one of Ramona Flowers’ seven evil exes.[21]

In 2011, Evans played the Marvel Comics character Captain America in Captain America: The First Avenger, and starred in the film What’s Your Number?, a romantic comedy co-starring Anna Faris.[22][23] There were initially scheduling conflicts, as both films were set to film in the summer of 2010.[24] With actress Evan Rachel Wood, he was part of a 2011 advertising campaign for the perfume Gucci Guilty,[25] and the cologne Guilty pour Homme.[26]

Evans had signed on to appear in multiple films as Captain America, and first reprised the role in the 2012 film The Avengers.[22] He next starred opposite Michael Shannon in The Iceman, replacing James Franco, who had dropped out.[27]Evans wore a long wig and grew out a beard for the role.[28] He starred in South Korean director Bong Joon-ho‘s English-language film Snowpiercer.[29]

In 2014, Evans starred in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.[30] He also starred opposite Michelle Monaghan in the romantic comedy Playing It Cool.[31] His directorial debut, Before We Go,[32] debuted at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.

In 2015, he played Captain America again in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and reprised the role for the 2016 sequel Captain America: Civil War.[33][34] Evans said in March 2014 that once his contract with Marvel is up, he may consider doing less acting so he could work more on directing,[35] and believes he will be finished playing Captain America in 2017.[32] In September 2015, however, he said in an interview that he would be willing to sign on for more films as Captain America after Infinity War, if Marvel wanted to extend his contract.[36]

In 2016, he was featured with Evan Rachel Wood in a 2016 ad for Gucci Guilty Eau fragrances.”[37]

Personal life

From 2001 to 2006, Evans dated actress Jessica Biel.[38][39]

He is also a supporter of LGBT rights.[40] Although raised Catholic, Evans has expressed pantheistic views[11] and has a great interest in the philosophies of Buddhism.[41]

Evans is a fan of the New England Patriots, and narrated America’s Game: The Story of the 2014 New England Patriots.[42]

Quotes
All my good movies, nobody sees.
I decided to make ‘Captain America’ because I realized I wasn’t doing the film because it terrified me. You can’t make decisions based on fear.
You know, the reward for ‘Captain America’ is amazing. It’s always fun to see a giant spectacle film and see the fun stuff – the special effects.

Stellan John Skarsgård (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈstɛlːan ˈskɑːʂɡoːɖ] ( listen); born 13 June 1951) is a Swedish actor. He is known for his roles as Jan Nyman in Breaking the Waves (1996), Prof. Gerald Lambeau in Good Will Hunting (1997), Bootstrap Bill in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest(2006) and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007), Bill Anderson inMamma Mia! (2008), Martin Vanger in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011), and Dr. Erik Selvig in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), Thor: The Dark World (2013), and Avengers: Age of Ultron(2015).

Early life[edit]

Skarsgård was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, the son of Gudrun (née Larsson) and Jan Skarsgård.[1][2] He moved often in his childhood and lived, amongst other places, in Helsingborg, Totebo, Kalmar,Marielund and Uppsala.[3]

Acting career[edit]

Skarsgård started his acting career early; and, by the age of 21, his experience in film, TV and stage was considerable.[4]Most of his early roles were in Swedish television (such as Bombi Bitt) and films. Of Skarsgård’s work in Swedish film, he is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who worked to save Holocaust victims.[5]

Skarsgård is particularly associated with director Lars von Trier and has appeared in six of the Danish auteur‘s features:The Kingdom, Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville, Melancholia and Nymph()maniac. His most personal working relationship, however, is with Norwegian director Hans Petter Moland, who has directed the actor in Kjærlighetens kjøtere, Aberdeen and A Somewhat Gentle Man. Skarsgård considers Moland a close friend and, in 2009, he said of their relationship: “We’re like an old married couple and I get separation anxiety.”[6] Another Scandinavian work that he is known for is the 1997 Norwegian film Insomnia, in which he plays the guilt-ridden policeman Jonas Engström.[7]

Skarsgård’s first American film was the 1985 film Noon Wine, directed by Michael Fields, in which Skarsgård played a mentally-disturbed immigrant farmhand being chased by a bounty hunter. He acted opposite Fred Ward, who portrayed the farmer.[5] In 1990 he starred in another American film, The Hunt for Red October, playing the character of Captain Tupolev, a Soviet submarine commander.

He was considered for the role of Oskar Schindler in Schindler’s List. Skarsgård reported that people often mistook him forLiam Neeson who portrayed Schindler in the film. Skarsgård would, in fact, replace Neeson in the 2004 film Exorcist: The Beginning. He appeared as a guest star on the HBO TV Series Entourage, as Verner Vollstedt, the German director of the fictional film Smokejumpers, who has a bias against the main character Vincent Chase, one of the stars of the film.[8]

Skarsgård played Dr. Erik Selvig in Marvel‘s 2011 film Thor, and then reprised the role in the 2013 sequel Thor: The Dark World,[9] as well as 2012’s The Avengers and 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. Skarsgård reteamed with Thor directorKenneth Branagh for the 2015 film Cinderella, in which he played The Grand Duke.[10]

Skarsgård appears in fellow Swede Lykke Li‘s 2011 music video for her song “Sadness Is a Blessing”.[11]

Personal life[edit]

He married My, a physician, in April 1975 and together they had six children: Alexander (b. 1976), Gustaf (b. 1980), Sam (b. 1982), Bill (b. 1990), Eija (b. 1992) and Valter Skarsgård (b. 1995). Alexander, Gustaf, Bill and Valter are also actors, while Eija is a former model. Skarsgård and My divorced in May 2007 and he married Megan Everett in January 2009. The couple have two sons together, Ossian (b. 2009) and Kolbjörn (b. 2012).[12][13]

Actors Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly named their son Stellan as a tribute to Skarsgård.[citation needed]

Skarsgård has been best friends with Peter Stormare since 1976 and even made Stormare the godfather to his son, Gustaf.

Views on religion[edit]

Skarsgård was brought up by humanist parents and had an atheist grandfather and a deeply religious grandmother. According to Skarsgård, this never led to any problems because of the family’s mutual respect for each other’s opinions.[14]After the September 11 attacks, Skarsgård set out to read the Bible and the Quran, both of which he condemns as violent.[14] Skarsgård is also a critic of religious independent schools in the Swedish educational system.[14] Skarsgård has said he considers the notion of God absurd and that if a real God were actually so vain as to constantly demand worship, then he would not be worthy of it.[14]

In 2009, Skarsgård, along with other non-religious artists, authors and entrepreneurs including Christer Sturmark, Björn Ulvaeus and Christer Fuglesang, wrote an article in Dagens Nyheter stressing the importance of secularity.[15] The group also criticised the UN for its stance on blasphemy laws.[15]

G V Prakash Kumar is an Indian film score and soundtrack composer, actor and singer. He has mainly scored music for Tamil films. His first film was S Pictures‘ Veyil (2006) and he became popular in Tamil cinema by the early 2010s.[1] He has ventured into film production and acting.

Personal life[edit]

Prakash Kumar is the son of G Venkatesh and playback singer, A. R. Reihana, elder sister of music director A. R. Rahman.[2] Prakash married singerSaindhavi, with whom he studied at Chettinad Vidyashram, on 27 June 2013 at the Mayor Ramanathan Chettiar Hall in Chennai.[3]

Career[edit]

Music direction[edit]

He first appeared as a vocalist on the soundtrack of director S. Shankar‘s Tamil film Gentleman, composed by his maternal uncle, A. R. Rahman. He has also contributed to some of Rahman’s other projects.[4] He had also worked with Harris Jayaraj and sang two songs in Anniyan and Unnale Unnale.

GV Prakash’s introduction as a film composer was in the critically acclaimed Tamil film Veyil, directed by Vasantha Balan and produced by the director S. Shankar. His music in the film Madrasapattinam directed by A. L. Vijay was appreciated mainly for his song “Pookal Pookum Tharunam”.

He went on to win critical acclaim for his music in Selvaraghavan’s drama film Mayakkam Enna, which became his third collaboration that featured Dhanush in the lead role. The album’s five songs were written by Selvaraghavan and Dhanush, with the pair also coming together to sing the song, “Kadhal En Kadhal”. The album also included the song “Pirai Thedum”, which Prakash sang himself along with his fiancée, Saindhavi whilst another song, “Voda Voda Voda”, written and sung by Dhanush, was composed in just 15 minutes and recorded within an hour.[5] Rediff.com reviewed the soundtrack claiming that Prakash had “tried very hard to walk away from his comfort zone and provide the kind of edgy numbers Selvaraghavan demands, and has risen to the challenge”.[6] Critics from entertainment portal Behindwoods.com cited that Prakash “reiterates his talent once again” and gave a verdict that the album is “intoxicating enough”.[7] In late September 2011, a single track, “Oru Murai”, written by Thamarai and composed and sung by Prakash in R. S. Infotainment’s Muppozhudhum Un Karpanaigal was released. His subsequent releases include the political satire Saguni and the background score of the Hindi crime film Gangs of Wasseypur. The movie Darling songs were a hit. Especially “Vandha Mala”, “Anbe Anbe”, and “Sattunu Idi Mazhai”. Prakash’s songs in Kaaka Muttai were a massive hit. “Karuppu Karuppu” song was on charts for a few months. “Karuppu Nerathazhagi” was a huge hit from Komban. GV Prakash signed his 50th film with Director Atlee that isVijay ‘s 59th which is named as Theri.The movie soundtrack rated 3.25/5 by Behindwoods.

Film production[edit]

In 2013, Prakash Kumar launched his own production house under the name “GV Prakash Kumar Productions”. His first film, Madha Yaanai Koottam was directed by Vikram Sugumaran a former assistant of Balu Mahendra.[8][9]

Acting[edit]

In 2012, director AR Murugadoss had seen a picture of G. V. Prakash on a poster promoting his work in A. L. Vijay‘sThaandavam and contacted him regarding a potential acting venture. Prakash agreed to star in the project and though the film later failed to take off, he remained interested in acting opportunities. He subsequently signed on to appear in three films in quick succession, with the three entering production simultaneously. In order to further his acting ability, he took lessons from actor Aadukalam Naren and has noted his stage performances as a singer, were also helpful in demonstrating his potential as an actor.[10] Prakash was going to make his acting debut in a film titled Pencil opposite Sri Divya, where he will be playing a school student.[11] However, as Pencil’s release was delayed, his first release became the horror film,Darling. A remake of the 2013 Telugu film Prema Katha Chitram, the film got positive reviews. Trisha Illana Nayanthara got released on September 17 which was Vinayagar Chathurthi.
