Scott Edward Adkins was born on June 17, 1976 in Sutton Coldfield, England, into a family that for generations were butchers. Along with his elder brother Craig, he was raised by their parents, John and Janet (Sanders) Adkins, in a loving middle-class family. Scott attended Bishop Vesey's Grammar School in Sutton Coldfield. Probably not the best of students, he used to sneak downstairs after his parents had gone to bed and watch films all night then fall asleep during lessons. A natural athlete, Scott enjoyed a variety of sports as he grew up, but when he was 10 years old, he accompanied his father and brother to the local Judo club. The attraction was instantaneous. Idolising stars such as Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Van Damme, Scott began to train everyday. He took over his Dad's garage and turned it into his own Dojo. He even had a shrine to Bruce Lee in there that he would bow to. He remembers being mugged on a bus when he was around 13 and that really kicked his training into overdrive. He wasn't ever going to let that happen again. At the age of 14, Scott went on to train in Tae Kwon Do under the instruction of Ron Sergiew with the T.A.G.B. After a few years, he moved on to Kickboxing under Anthony Jones. He is now a fully trained Kickboxing Instructor for the P. K. A. A self confessed "film junkie" Scott's attention was drawn to acting through the Hollywood Greats. He enrolled in a drama class at Sutton Coldfield College. Being a shy lad he initially found it difficult to be put on stage in front of an audience. Finally, at the age of 21, Scott was offered a place at the prestigious Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art. However, as an impoverished student, he found it hard to make ends meet without a grant and was forced to leave without completing the course. Very dejected he thought that was the end.
His first break came when he was offered a role in a Hong Kong martial arts film called Extreme Challenge (2001) (aka Extreme Challenge). Spotted by Head of The Hong Kong Stuntmen Association and director Wei Tung and English-born Hong Kong movie expert Bey Logan, Adkins found himself in the East for the first time. Scott got the chance to work with some of Hong Kong cinema's leading action directors including Woo-Ping Yuen, Corey Yuen, Sammo Kam-Bo Hung and the legendary Jackie Chan. Acting roles started to come in and he was offered a guest role in BBC's Doctors (2000) filmed at Birmingham's Pebble Mill. A few episodes in BBC's EastEnders (1985) and City Central (1998), and a lead role in Sky One comedy drama Mile High (2003) followed by a regular role in BBC's Holby City (1999) as Bradley Hume, the assistant General Manager of Holby General.
Starring roles in feature films soon followed with his portrayal of Talbot in Special Forces (2003) and Yuri Boyka" in Undisputed 2: Last Man Standing (2006). It was this film that broke him into the mainstream with his villainous portrayal of a Russian MMA underground fighter Boyka in what has been hailed as one of the best American made Martial Arts films of recent times. Along with lead actor Michael Jai White, fight coordinator J.J. Perry and the slick direction of Isaac Florentine this movie has some unbelievably heart stopping fight scenes. After this Scott has had guest starring roles in bigger budget films like The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) and The Tournament (2009), and played Jean-Claude Van Damme's main adversary in Sony Pictures The Shepherd (2008).- Actress

In 1965, he replaced Eric Clapton in The Yardbirds. He played with them until 1967 when he decided he'd had enough and wanted to go solo. In the same year, he released his first solo effort "Hi-Ho-Silver Lining", which was the only one of his tracks he ever sang on. In his backing group, he had Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, who later went on to form The Faces. Thoughout the rest of the 60s and 70s, he continued to record instrumental albums.

Tayler Marshall was born on the 25th of January 2000, in Sutton, Surrey. His acting career started at the age of five when he was offered the role of 'Kenzo Harper' in BBCs 'My Family'. He went on to appear in 23 episodes over the 5 series. Since then, some of his work includes: 'A Young Doctor's Notebook' (Sky Arts), 'Hollyoaks' (Lime Pictures), 'Doctors' (BBC), feature film 'Jack the Giant Slayer' (Warner Bros.), two episodes of 'Casualty' (BBC) and the lead in short film 'Hot Guy Has Issues' (Rhino Films).
Now as he grows into an adult, he is seeking serious roles in film & TV. The characters he loves to play are ones with a deep, colourful background (be it a gritty, troubled one or a contented one). A script he can sink his teeth into and a character he can really connect to personally and bring to life on screen.
He is 5 foot 5 inches tall which is great as he can still convincingly pass as a 17-year-old or play a character closer to his age, 20-23. He is very self-disciplined and has a high work ethic. Acting is what he has been passionate about since a very young age and now as he explores different characters, accents and genres of film/television, his motivation continues to skyrocket.
He is a very sporty person and has trained in Muay Thai for 3 years, played football all his life and has recently started playing badminton which he can't get enough of! Although he doesn't live near a warm ocean or the Rocky Mountains, as regularly as he can he snorkels and snowboards, but he would love to do it more.- Actor

Clark Datchler was just a teenager when he released his first single titled 'You Won't Get Fooled Again' (1981). The single featured the drummer and bassist from reggae group Aswad.
Following this record, Clark signed up with Warner Bros. Records and moved to the States, Los Angeles, where he began writing songs for various bands.
He returned to the UK, London, and here he joined a band called Hot Club with Calvin Hayes, James Christopher Stevenson of Generation X, and Glen Matlock of Sex Pistols. The band released one single, 'It Ain't Me Girl' (1983), but Clark was subsequently signed to RAK Records as a solo artist and while with RAK he released his second and third singles 'I Don't Want You' (1984) and 'Things Can't Get Any Worse' (1985). The single were produced by Mickie Most, who had previously produced bands such as The Animals and Hot Chocolate.
In 1986, Clark formed the band Johnny Hates Jazz with Calvin Hayes and Mike Nocito and they released their first single 'Me And My Foolish Heart'. But it was not until a move from RAK Records to Virgin Records - and the single 'Shattered Dreams' - that Clark gained the success and recognition as a singer/songwriter that he had been working for the last half-decade. The song soared up the UK charts, reaching No. 5 (1987), and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA (1988). It was a big hit across Europe and also made No. 2 in Japan. The black and white video (the USA variant) was directed by David Fincher.
The next single, an anti-war anthem titled 'I Don't Want To Be A Hero', made No. 11 (1987) in the UK, cementing the success of Johnny Hates Jazz and solidifying Clark's talent as a songwriter. The record made No. 31 in the States and would have likely climbed higher if the record company had not been concerned about the ant-war lyrics, written in the first person narrative, and conveyed from the viewpoint of a soldier who does not want to be a part of an unjust war.
'Turn Back The Clock' (1987) was the third successive hit for Johnny Hates Jazz and featured the backing vocals of Kim Wilde. The song - and video - are reminiscent of the Stephen King novella and film Stand by Me (1986). This wistful ballad, that tells of the happy and occasionally sad aspects of childhood, reached No. 12 in the UK.
1988 and the first Johnny Hates Jazz album appeared: 'Turn Back the Clock'. It went straight to No. 1 in the UK and was a further hit on the other side of the Lake. The album went Double Platinum and spawned the top-twenty single 'Heart of Gold' (No. 19) and the band's final hit 'Don't Say It's Love' (which peaked at No. 48 in the UK). Clark would leave Johnny Hates Jazz in 1988, when the band were at their most successful, and be replaced by Phil Thornalley.
Clark again embarked upon a solo career, moving to Amsterdam, where he began working on the album 'Raindance' (1990). Two singles - 'Crown of Thorns' and 'Raindance' - were released in 1990 before Clark began work on his second album 'Fishing for Souls' (1992). The latter album has since been re-released on Clark's own record label, InterAction Music (2010). The single 'The Last Emotion' was also released in 1992.
Singer, songwriter, and record producer, Clark is also a proficient multi-instrumentalist. He plays bass, guitar, drums and percussion, keyboards and piano, and the bouzouki. His music from the 'Raindance' album onwards has conveyed a strong environmental theme, and maintains the lyrical depth (missed by critics; but not fans) that is evident in the Johnny Hates Jazz songs and those written before. He mixes folk and contemporary instruments in order to achieve his own unique sound.
His album 'Tomorrow' was released through InterAction Music in 2007 and featured the talents of drummer Phil Gould, of Level 42, and David Rhodes (the guitarist for Peter Gabriel. Other musicians include Hugh Marsh (fiddle), Phil Beer (mandolin), and Joji Hirota (shakuhachi). A new version of 'Shattered Dreams' is included on the album. 'Tomorrow' has been recently digitally remastered and re-released (2009) by Stephen W Taylor who also re-worked 'Fishing for Souls'). 'Tomorrow' is dedicated to keeping the planet safe.
Clark's father was Fred Datchler, singer and saxophonist of jazz bands The Polkadots and The Stargazers, the latter achieving two number one singles during the 1950s, 'Broken Wings' and 'I See The Moon', and a third number one with Dickie Valentine called 'Finger of Suspicion'. Fred also provided backing vocals for The Beatles and Frank Sinatra.
Clark, Calvin and Mike reformed the original Johnny Hates Jazz in 2009 and began touring Europe. They are working on a new album and plan to release it in 2011 and follow it up with a UK tour.
Clark is an authority on the Philosophy of Indigenous Peoples and a member of the Green Party.- Camera and Electrical Department

Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009).- Antoinette Concello was a member of the famous "Flying Concello" aerial troupe, a family of flying trapeze artists. In the 20th Century multi-ring circus, the flying trapeze was the main attraction in the center ring of the "Big Top." The Flying Concellos were the premier troupe of aerialists in the 1920s, and Antoinette became known as the "greatest woman flyer of all time" because she was the only woman to complete the fabled "triple" (see Carol Reed's 1956 film "Trapeze" for background about this legendary stunt). A triple means that the aerialist completes three full somersaults while "flying" through the air after leaving their bar and being caught by a "catcher" hanging upside down on the opposite bar. It is a dangerous stunt.
Antoinette appeared with the troupe as one of the acts in Cecil B. DeMille's 1952 Best Picture Oscar-winning movie "The Greatest Show on Earth," which uses Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Baily Circus as a backdrop. The red-coated Ringling ringmaster Fred Brandna would introduce her act by announcing that Antionette was the first and only woman to achieve the triple, and added that she did it with "incomparable grace". The legendary flyer did not disappoint her audience, performing the fabled triple at every performance.
Antoinette Concello was inducted into the Circus Hall of Fame in 1963. - Director
