Ben Freeman, born April 8, 1980, is an English actor well known for his part in ITV’s Emmerdale as Scott Windsor.

The first member of his family to forge an acting career, he got his first taste of the limelight when he took a part-time acting course over a school holiday and was spotted by an agent, who signed him up. “I’m very laid-back, so I didn’t go out and say I’m going to be an actor,” he explains. “I was just ushered into that world.”

Freeman auditioned for many roles before getting his lucky break playing Chris Longworth in Grange Hill. Then, when Emmerdale decided to recast the character almost two years ago, he won the role of hunky, womanising Scott.

Freeman may be endearingly unstarry about fame, but one thing guaranteed to get him talking animatedly is cars. “I love being able to control something that goes very fast, my dream car is a Bugatti. I love the way they’re made and their innovative design. But as they cost anything up to £lmillion, I’ll probably never have one.”

Blair McDonough, born 30 April 1981, in Sydney, is an Australian actor who is best known for playing the role of Stuart Parker in the Australian TV soap opera Neighbours.

McDonough shot to fame in 2001, when he finished runner-up in the inaugural season of the reality TV series Big Brother Australia.

McDonough spent much of his childhood living in Singapore, where his parents were working, where he was educated at Tanglin Trust School and the United World College of South East Asia. He later moved to Australia and finished his schooling at Eltham College of Education in Research, Victoria.

In 2001, McDonough was a university student and amateur Australian rules football player, before he became a contestant in the first season of Big Brother Australia. He finished runner-up in the show, and generated a cult following.

A few months after Big Brother concluded, McDonough was cast in the long-running Australian soap opera Neighbours, in the role of Stuart Parker.

In 2002, McDonough was named one of the ‘25 Most Beautiful People’ in the Australian publication Who magazine.In late 2005, McDonough announced he would be leaving Neighbours to seek work in London. He made his final appearance in Neighbours on April 5, 2006, in episode 4938, titled “Stu For The Road”.

He played the role of Dan in a West End play called The Vegemite Tales from July till October 2006. As a side project, Blair competed in soccer trials to represent a celebrity football team in England in Sky One’s The Match during October 2006.

Boby Morley, born on December 20, 1984, in Kyneton, Victoria, Australia, is an Australian-Filipino actor, best known for his role as Drew Curtis on the Australian drama series “Home and Away.”

Morley went to school in Kneyton, a small country town in Victoria where he did drama all the way through to Year 11, until he was kicked out! “I was a bit of a brat,” he says with a grin. “I’d turn up to class and not have done the homework, but I’d perform and I’d get away with it. I was drama captain of the senior school but I was probably the worst academic student in drama department, so they didn’t really want me to be an example to other students.”

After graduating from high school, Morley did half a year of geological engineering before deciding to get back into acting and pursue it as a professional career. He started a degree in Creative Arts at La Trobe University in Melbourne, secured himself an agent and started doing extra classes.

Prior to Home and Away, Morley had several roles on the stage (Falling to Perfect, Tale From Vienna Woods), in short films  (The Couple) and features (Dead Harvest), until a part in the new Australian play Angels with Dirty Faces bought about a meeting with Home and Away’s casting agents, and the chance to audition for Drew arose.

The easy-going actor is the youngest of four kids, with two sisters and one brother. He has his mother to thank for his dark curly hair and deep brown eyes – she’s from the Philippines.

Outside of acting, Bobby loves the challenge of rock-climbing, dabbles at playing guitar and loves catching a soccer or footy match – he follows the Collingwood magpies.

“I’ve watched his first few eps and he’s got something very special,” commented script producer Daniel Bennett a few weeks after Bobby started filming. “We’ve been plotting him for six months now and there isn’t a week that goes by that he doesn’t have a lot to do. The audience will be very invested in him – we certainly are.”

Brett Chukerman, born August 1, 1981, in Chicago, Illinois, is an American actor, perhaps best known for playing Marc in the romantic comedy
“Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds.”

Chukerman’s first acting role came when he was only 18, when he starred in MTV’s “Undressed” playing Scott in the episode “Three’s a Crowd.”

Chukerman got his big break when he landed the part of Marc in the high-profile gay romantic comedy “Eating Out 2″ and has a major fan following. Furthermore, he appeared in another gay-themed movie “The Curiosity of Chance” as Levi.

Though Chukerman is straight, he has played many gay roles and is very comfortable playing it, that led many people to believe he’s gay.

He says, “I’m a firm believer of what people see on screen, the persona that people know- that’s a part of me, it’s not all me. I like to keep a mystery about me. I want to be everyone’s fantasy, it’s part of my job. My personal life stays personal so I don’t escape out of anyone’s dreams at night. That’s my job. To keep people interested, titillated and excited and my personal life is separate from that.”
