SUMMARY:Billy Dee Williams Photo Op
DESCRIPTION:BILLY DEE WILLIAMS was a long-anticipated and much-needed addition to the cast of heroes in the “Star Wars” universe. His considerable presence brought many viewers to the seats of the theater to see “The Empire Strikes Back” who may not have originally purchased a ticket. His overwhelming popularity and powerful performance opposite Diana Ross in the films “Mahogony” and “Lady Sings The Blues” led many women flocking to see his character\, Lando Calrissian\, in George Lucas’ space fantasy.\n\nBilly Dee‘s career has encompassed so much\, including the films “Undercover Brother”\, “Nighthawks”\, “Bingo Long” and “Bryan’s Song”. His introduction in the “Star Wars” trilogy allowed Billy Dee to continue his role in “Return of the Jedi”; as General Calrissian\, piloting the Millennium Falcon directly into the second Death Star destroying it from within. His popularity in the fantasy Sci-Fi genre continued when he took the role of Gotham’s district attorney Harvey Dent in Tim Burton’s “Batman”\, lending his charming good looks and suave attitude to the film. His “Batman” legacy continued finally when he got to voice the character of “Two-Face” in the “LEGO: BATMAN” movie!\n\nBilly Dee Williams has been nominated for many industry awards including The Emmy\, The Independent Spirit Award as well as winning the TV Land Award and the Image Award! Other amazing performances can be seen in the Indy film “The Visit” where he portrayed a father whose son is dying of AIDS in prison and for the same director\, a film called “Constellation.\nAside from his prestigious film career\, Billy Dee could also be seen on the television series “Dynasty”\, “18 Wheels of Justice”\, “Night Shift”\, “Gideon’s Crossing”\, “LOST” and more recently has had a few unforgettable roles on series such as “NCIS” and “White Collar”. Plus no one will forget his smooth voice and cool attitude as the official spokesman in the commercials for COLT 45 malt liquor…. “It works every time.”\n\nBilly Dee has a lighter side from serious acting and is “cool” poking fun at himself! Never afraid to laugh at himself\, he has appeared as “himself” on “The Jeffersons”\, “Scrubs”\, “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “Modern Family”.\n\nHe has also co-starred on “Glee” and the remake of “Dirty Dancing”. And speaking of Dancing… Billy Dee was one of the celebrities chosen to participate on the highly popular TV series “Dancing with the Stars”\, an experience he says was on of the best of his life and one that was “a lot of work”!\nBilly Dee has kept the character of Lando Calrissian alive for all his “Star Wars” fans! He has voiced the character for numerous incarnations of video games and a Las Vegas slot machine as well as TV series including “Robot Chicken”\, The Cleveland Show”\, “Star Wars Detours”\, “Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles”\, “the Lego Movie” and for Disney’s “Star Wars Rebels”.\n\nHis acting career\, however\, does not completely engross his time. Billy Dee is also an accomplished award-winning artist whose paintings are displayed around the globe! The Smithsonian Institute even owns one of his paintings! He’s been nominated for a Guggenheim Award and has won the Hallgarten Award (these are considered the “Oscars’ of the art world). If acting and painting weren’t enough\, he’s also co-authored a few books including a love story called “Twilight” (with author Elizabeth Atkins Bowman) and the sci-fi thriller “Psi Net” (with author Rob MacGregor) and its sequels.”

SUMMARY:Marina Sirtis Photo Op
DESCRIPTION:MARINA SIRTIS gained worldwide acclaim as the sexy and cerebral “Deanna Troi” of the successful STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION TV series and STAR TREK feature films. Over the life of the role\, Marina skillfully transformed the popular character from reserved beauty to delicious diva by inserting her own trademark wit and comedic timing. Marina’s dramatic and comedic range has since created opportunities on stage\, television\, and feature films far beyond the STAR TREK franchise. Her feature films include the Academy Award-winning Best Picture CRASH for which she received a SAG Award (Ensemble). \nOn the small screen\, she starred as “Queen Wealhteow” in the SCI-FI Channel’s movie GRENDEL as well as numerous guest-starring appearances on shows like GREY’S ANATOMY\, MAKE IT OR BREAK IT\, YOUNG JUSTICE\, THREE RIVERS\, WITHOUT A TRACE\, GIRLFRIENDS\, THE CLEVELAND SHOW\, THE CLOSER\, TITANS\, GARGOYLES and the UK’s HOBIE CITY. Films include 31 NORTH 62 EAST\, THE GRUDGE 3\, GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS 2\, OTIS E.\, and SHADOWS FROM THE SKY. Marina was born in London\, England to Greek parents who initially did not want her to become an actress. \nAfter high school\, she secretly applied to the prestigious Guild Hall School of Music and Drama. After graduating\, Marina earned her acting chops performing on British television and stage. In 1986\, Marina moved to Los Angeles hoping to make her mark in American film and television. After six months\, Marina was ready to call it quits and head back to the UK. Legendary STAR TREK creator GENE RODDENBERRY would change her mind. He was casting for STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. After what she thought was a terrible audition\, and just moments before boarding a plane for London\, Marina got the call that would launch her career. Producers wanted her for the role of “Deanna Troi.”
