About the actors:<\/p>\n
Muse Watson
\nEqually comfortable on the theater stage as he is in front of the camera, Muse Watson first gained notice with several strong performances on stage that helped pave the way for a feature film and television career. His diverse roles in Sommersby, Something to Talk About, Assassins, & Rosewood brought him mainstream recognition but it was the villainous “Ben Willis” in the trendy thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer films and From Dusk Till Dawn 2 that propelled him in the limelight as a chameleonic actor. He made equally impressionable appearances in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Sundance Film-Festival award-winner Songcatcher, challenging himself by playing unique characters.<\/p>\n
Transitioning to the small screen, Watson delivered stellar performances in several made-for-television movies including Blind Vengeance and Justice in a Small Town; and the television series, American Gothic, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Matlock, The Lazarus Man, JAG, Walker Texas Ranger, Ghost Whisperer, CSI, and The Mentalist. Going on to land his most notorious TV roles as “Mike Franks” in the award winning drama NCIS and “Charles Westmoreland” in the Emmy & Golden Globes nominated & People’s Choice Awards – winner Prison Break.<\/p>\n
Catherine Mary Stewart made her debut as “Daisy” on Everything’s Coming Up Daisies going on to win attention in the daytime drama Days of Our Lives before moving on to primetime hits like Knight Rider. In film, Stewart landed a few small roles but her first major career break came when she was cast leads in the cult classics The Last Starfighter, Night of the Comet and her most recognizable role as “Gwen” in the comedy Weekend at Bernie’s. Throughout her career Stewart has had the opportunity to work alongside such luminaries as Christopher Reeve, Charles Bronson, Robert Mitchum, Jean Simmons, Robert Stack, Karl Malden, Candice Bergen, Anthony Hopkins, Angie Dickinson, Peter Scolari, Darren McGavin, Billy Zane, Betty White, Amy Smart, Muse Watson and Eric Roberts.<\/p>\n
