John Vernon was a prolific stage-trained Canadian character player who made a career out of convincingly playing crafty villains, morally-bankrupt officials and heartless authority figures in American films and television since the 1960s. Vernon was directed by some stellar filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock (Chiến Tranh Lạnh (1969)); George Cukor (Justine (1969)); Don Siegel (Dirty Harry (1971)) and Clint Eastwood (Kẻ Ngoài Vòng Pháp Luật (1976)). After training at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and honing his skills in Canadian theatre and television, Vernon made his US film debut in John Boorman's noir/gangster classic Sứ Mệnh Tuyệt Mật (1967) as a trusted friend who betrays Lee Marvin. He again failed to inspire confidence as the ineffectual mayor of San Francisco in Dirty Harry (1971). Vernon may be best remembered as the sinister Dean Vernon Wormer in John Landis' National Lampoon's Animal House (1978), a role he reprised for the TV spin-off Delta House (1979). This led to more film comedy roles, a highlight being Mr. Big in the blaxploitation spoof I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988).- Chen Lee was born on 29 January 1939 in Aichi, Japan. He was an actor, known for Il mio nome è Shangai Joe (1973), Mang quan (1972) and Kaette kita onna hissatsu ken (1975). He died on 1 February 2005.

- Melanie Virginia Sydney Morse MacQuarrie made a splash from the very beginning of her life, when, upon her birth on June 13, 1945, she made newspaper headlines as one of the largest babies born in the United Kingdom, at 11 pounds, 9 ounces! The daughter of well-known British/Canadian actors Barry Morse and Sydney Sturgess. After the family emigrated from England to Canada in 1951, she began acting in numerous productions on stage and television alongside her Father, Mother, and Brother, Hayward Morse. Her film work includes roles in Kẻ Săn Đêm (1980) with Jamie Lee Curtis and Murder by Phone (1982) with Richard Chamberlain, and others. On-stage she performed in such diverse venues as Boston, Massachusetts and the Canada Shakespeare Stratford Festival, in productions including "Peter Pan" and "Much Ado About Nothing". Her TV appearances include Noises in the Nursery (1952), "Drought", and the popular Canadian series Street Legal (1987) as 'Judge Dixon' in the episode "Act of Silence". At the age of 19, she was admitted on scholarship to the famed Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London and in the early 1970s she joined the Ryerson University Drama department in Toronto, where she worked for 30 years prior to her retirement in 1991. In 1999, Melanie traveled to the USA to support her Dad for the taping of his TV special Merely Players (2000). Melanie was in the audience for the live taping and her yells of "Bravo" can still be heard during the curtain call in the broadcast itself!
