Larry Bishop
My biggest influences as an actor were Marlon Brando, and I really dug James Dean.
2
Chris Bohjalian
If you look at my personal library, you will notice that it ranges from Henry James to Steig Larsson, from Margaret Atwood to Max Hastings. There's Jane Austen and Tom Perrotta and volumes of letters from Civil War privates. It's pretty eclectic.
3
Andre Braugher
The only dangerous scene is when James Cromwell put a stake in my chest. But other than that, it turned out to be quite a punch. I didn't think much of it.
4
Chris Burke

5
Stephen Colletti
My costar James Lafferty, and his little brother Stuart Lafferty, and another buddy of ours, Ian Shive, are working on this project called 'Generation Wild.'

The nearest we have to a Henry James or an Edith Wharton of the East Coast's Wasp upper classes.
