Doug Whitley

My dad was a local boy who made good and opened the doors of the city to create a power base that reflected all the citizens of the city - Mexicans, Chinese, blacks and gays, ...

Gaston Caperton

I was 17 years old when I was cast in The Princess Diaries . That film landed, and it landed big. And so I became identified with a role that wasn't really me. I've never had any problem with going to the lengths of what a film demands. You can tell that by my eyebrows in The Princess Diaries .

Those two have been really good. John as a senior is taking on greater responsibility and Isaac is taking on that role as only as sophomore.

The role of a do-gooder is not what actors call a fat part.

Margaret Halsey

The villain is always the lead role.
