Cerina Vincent

Cerina Vincent (born February 7, 1979) is an American film actress, best known for playing the Yellow Ranger Maya in the television series Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy and a naked foreign exchange student in Not Another Teen Movie. She is considered a scream queen.

Early life

Vincent was born in Las Vegas, Nevada of Italian descent.In 1996, she won the Miss Nevada Teen USA title and competed at Miss Teen USA. Though she made it to the top 15, she failed to place at the pageant (televised live), which was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico and won by Christie Lee Woods of Texas.

Film and TV career

Vincent's first major role was as the Yellow Ranger Maya in the 1999 television series Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy.

In 2001 Vincent appeared in the feature film spoof Not Another Teen Movie as the foreign exchange student Areola, and spends the entire film nude. The character was a spoof of Shannon Elizabeth's character, Nadia, in American Pie (1999). She says that being nude in the movie made her feel much more comfortable with her body.

In 2003, Cerina starred in a R-rated horror film called Cabin Fever. Cabin Fever featured some of Cerina's most memorable cinematic moments including her "leg-shaving" scene and the "It's like being on a plane..." scene. Cerina did some more nude scenes in Cabin Fever, as well as two racy sex scenes with two different lover characters. However, following her extensive nudity in Not Another Teen Movie, Cerina was cautious about over-exposing herself in Cabin Fever, for fear of being typecast into nudity-oriented roles. This became a point of contention between her and Cabin Fever director, Eli Roth. Roth wanted a clear shot of Cerina's butt during one of the sex scenes, but Cerina vehemently refused. A compromise was reached where Cerina did the scene with her butt facing the camera, as planned, but with a bed sheet covering all but one inch of her butt crack. Roth reportedly measured the exposed region of Cerina's butt with a ruler, to make sure he "got his one inch".

In 2006, Vincent appeared in the Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie Sasquatch Mountain, alongside Lance Henriksen, and got her first leading role in It Waits. She was also in the 2007 release Return to House on Haunted Hill which made its debut straight to video.

She appeared in a 2009 documentary Pretty Bloody: The Women of Horror.

Vincent has written some movie scripts, but admitted in a recent interview that whether or not they will be produced into films remains to be seen.
[edit] Books

Vincent wrote her first book in 2007, How to Eat Like a Hot Chick, with co-writer Jodi Lipper.

In 2008, her film An American Crime, the true story of Gertrude Baniszewski, a middle-aged mother who tortured and killed Sylvia Likens in her Indiana home, was aired on Showtime.

Christopher Lloyd

Christopher Allen Lloyd (born October 22, 1938) is an American actor. He is widely known for his iconic portrayals of characters such as Emmett "Doc" Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy, Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Uncle Fester in The Addams Family and Addams Family Values, Kruge the Klingon commander in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Reverend Jim Ignatowski on television's Taxi. He also starred in the short-lived television series Deadly Games, where he played Jackal, a video game villain brought to life, and also was a regular in the short-lived TV series Stacked, in the mid-2000's.
Lloyd's voice has also made him popular with animation, frequently voicing villains. He currently voices the character Hacker on the animated PBS series Cyberchase. Among other honors, Lloyd has won three Primetime Emmy Awards and an Independent Spirit Award, and has been nominated for two Saturn Awards and a Daytime Emmy Award.
Early life
Lloyd was born in Stamford, Connecticut, the son of Ruth (née Lapham), a singer who was the sister of San Francisco mayor Roger Lapham, and Samuel R. Lloyd, a lawyer.He is a descendant of a Mayflower passenger John Howland. He attended the Fessenden School, a preparatory school in Newton, Massachusetts. Lloyd was raised in New Canaan, Connecticut and Westport, Connecticut where he graduated from Staples High School in 1958.

His mother, an heiress to the Lapham-Texaco oil fortune, donated her family's ancestral home, Waveny Park, to the town of New Canaan.

Career

He began acting by age 14 and started apprenticing in summer stock. He took acting classes in New York City at age 19, some at the Neighborhood Playhouse with Sanford Meisner. He appeared in several Broadway productions, including Happy End, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Red, White and Maddox, Kaspar, The Harlot and the Hunted, The Seagull, Total Eclipse, Macbeth, In the Boom Boom Room, Cracks, Professional Resident Company, What Every Woman Knows, And They Put Handcuffs on the Flowers, The Father, King Lear, and Power Failure.

His first major motion picture role was as a psychiatric patient in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. However, he may be most remembered for his roles as Reverend Jim Ignatowski, the ex-hippie cabbie on the TV sitcom Taxi, and the eccentric inventor Emmett "Doc" Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy of science fiction films, for which he was nominated for a Saturn Award. He portrayed the villain Maj. Bartholomew 'Butch' Cavendish in The Legend of the Lone Ranger a role he has played numerous times in various spin-offs and incarnations. He also played notable roles as Klingon Commander Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Professor Dimple in an episode of Road to Avonlea, the title role in The Pagemaster, the villain Judge Doom in Disney/Amblin's Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a wacky sound effects man named Zoltan in Radioland Murders, and Uncle Fester in the big screen adaptations of The Addams Family. In 1999 Lloyd was reunited onscreen with Michael J. Fox in an episode of Spin City entitled "Back to the Future IV — Judgment Day" where Lloyd plays Owen Kingston, Mike Flaherty's (Fox's character) former mentor who stops by City Hall to see him, only to proclaim himself as God. That same year, he starred in the movie remake of the 1960s series My Favorite Martian. Also in November 2007, Lloyd was reunited onscreen with his former Taxi co-star Judd Hirsch in the (Season 4 episode) "Graphic"of the TV series Numb3rs.

He recently played Ebenezer Scrooge in a 2008 production of A Christmas Carol at the Kodak Theatre with John Goodman and Jane Leeves. He also recently appeared in a trailer for a fake horror film, entitled Gobstopper, where he played Willy Wonka as a horror movie villain.
Personal life
Lloyd seldom appears in public or gives interviews. Some of his best friends, co-stars and fans who have met him describe Lloyd as a very shy and quiet man. His nephew, Sam Lloyd, is best known for playing Ted Buckland, the lawyer on Scrubs. Christopher Lloyd has been married to writer/producer Jane Walker Wood since 1992; this is his fourth marriage. He is a fan of fly fishing. Lloyd's home was destroyed in the Tea Fire of November 2008 in Montecito, California.
