Brittany Snow to star in "American Dreams"

The photogenic and fair-haired Brittany Snow born in Tampa, Florida on March 9, 1986. She traveled the path of Brooke Shields and others by going to work as a model at the age of three. Brittany appeared on the small screen from the age of eight, when she landed a number of spots on the Spielberg-produced SeaQuest DSV, starring Roy Scheider (a good start for an elementary student). Brittany later voiced Shizuku in the Americanized version of Hayao Miyazaki's Whisper of the Heart. In the fall of 2000, she enrolled as a freshman in the Tampa-area's Gaither High School, a public secondary institution.

Brittany Snow signed for one of the central roles on NBC's coming of age series American Dreams at the age of 16, a kind of Wonder Years update. Set about five years before that tv series began, American Dreams opened in 1963 as Meg Pryor, a high school student with a much-coveted job as an American Bandstand dancer, Brittany stole viewers' hearts and helped propel the series to a four-season run. American Dreams brings back that dream with such amazing reality. We can remember the events happening in the world, and remember what it was like to live. This tv show is extremely well written and I will watch this show until it is taken off the air. A show for the generations to share.

After a supporting role in the 2005 Vin Diesel comedy show “The Pacifier”, Brittany found her broadest exposure in two 2006 releases. That year's black comedy John Tucker Must Die (by Hill Street Blues alum and Private Parts director Betty Thomas) unofficially reworks and sanitizes, the Dangerous Liasons formula, with Brittany and two other teen heartthrobs (Ashanti and Sophia Bush) as disgruntled high school student determined to give the class stud a comeuppance by hiring a girl to break his heart. The film received so-so reviews and opened in late July 2006 to predictably decent box office. Brittany landed her first big screen lead in the same year's On the Doll (directed by Thomas Mignone) , as Balery, a stripper. In spring 2006, she signed with Kristin Cavallari to star in the psychological thriller Fingerprints for Harry Basil (Meet Wally Sparks Cloud Nine). By now, Brittany is busy with her upcoming movie for this year (2009) entitled “Black Water Transit” and other three movies for 2010 “Janie Jones” which is now filming, “Walks” now on its pre-production and “Clock Tower”.

Early Edition of Kyle Chandler

Actor Kyle Chandler grew up in Georgia, where he helped to take care of their family farm. He eventually went to college at the nearby University of Georgia, where he majored in Drama. It was there that a scout from ABC noticed his charm and signed him to a contract with the network. Chandler traveled to L.A., where he started out doing odd jobs but eventually worked his way onto tv shows like Tour of Duty, Homefront, and What About Joan, TV movies like 1988's Quiet Victory; and feature films such as 1996's Mulholland Falls. The parts steadily became bigger and more numerous, eventually leading to the starring role of Gary Hobson on the TV series drama Early Edition and the role of Bruce Baxter in 2005's King Kong.

Chandler also guest-starred in a memorable post-Super Bowl two-part on the medical drama series Grey's Anatomy, playing a bomb squad leader who comes to the hospital when a patient is admitted who has unexploded munitions lodged in his chest, thanks to his attempt to make a homemade bazooka. Chandler's performance was so impressive that he was later nominated for an Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series Emmy. Following that, he landed the starring role of head coach Eric Taylor on Friday Night Lights, a show based on the movie of the same name, about a small town in Texas where high-school football is among the most important things in life. In 2007, he could also be seen in the Jamie Foxx political thriller, The Kingdom.

What's there to say about Early Edition besides the fact that it's the best tv series on this side of the world. It has everything, good actors, more then enough directors and the plot. The plot, a guy Gary Hobson get's tomorrow's Chicago Sun - Times today, he knows what will happen in the future, a thing that one should be very careful with. His personal mission, to save the world, or at least the ones he can save in his territory, the great city of Chicago. Every day, he goes out to save the world, sometimes with his blind friend, Melissa, sometimes with Chuck (Fisher Adams), a friend that wants to place bets with the aid of the paper. Shortly told, a plot to adore, a plot that has a lot of room for different subjects. On the background Chicago and a man who's saving the life's of his fellow-Chicago citizens.
