Burt Culver
Burt Culver is a Los Angeles based actor known for his work in a variety of film and television projects. He was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up between there and Cave Creek, Arizona. He trained at Australia's National Institute of the Dramatic Arts in Sydney and brings a palpable presence to the screen. Burt began acting in elementary school by writing skits and performing them with classmates. Burt brings to his material a diverse background ranging from serving in the US Peace Corps, volunteering at a county Emergency Room, interning with the Fish & Wildlife service, living on four continents, writing the highly copied password change email logic at Amazon, taking the MCATs, riding a motorcycle, and raising an amazing child. This depth of experience comes through in his roles. His first lead role in a feature film was in To Survive (2014). In preparation for the role, Burt walked solo across Illinois prior to the beginning of the film as his character did prior to the beginning of the story. He doesn't approach all roles through method acting but it's a powerful tool in his toolbox. "I want my characters to inspire by pushing on regardless of life's cruelties no matter if the ultimate outcome is good or evil. It's the struggle that inspires hope." Burt brings to life anti-hero characters who the audience can identify with and root for despite the methods used to reach his goals. He often plays roles with a dualistic personality where the outward persona masks a tragic background. This year will see his lead roles in the feature films A Maldição da Sereia (2019) and The Dinner Guest (2018). His past lead roles in feature films include To Survive (2014), The Paper Boat (2015), and The Bride (2013). He's also known for his smaller roles in Bastard (2015) among others and he can be seen in many cable and network television episodes.

Burt Lancaster
Burt Lancaster, one of five children, was born in Manhattan, to Elizabeth (Roberts) and James Henry Lancaster, a postal worker. All his grandparents were immigrants from the north of Ireland. He was a tough street kid who took an early interest in gymnastics. He joined the circus as an acrobat and worked there until he was injured. In the Army during WWII he was introduced to the USO and to acting. His first film was Assassinos (1946), and that made him a star. He was a self-taught actor who learned the business as he went along. He set up his own production company in 1948 with Harold Hecht and James Hill to direct his career. He played many different roles in pictures as varied as O Pirata Sangrento (1952), A um Passo da Eternidade (1953), Entre Deus e o Pecado (1960) and Atlantic City (1980). His production company, Hecht-Hill-Lancaster, produced such films as Paddy Chayefsky's Marty (1955) (Oscar winner 1955) and A Festa de Casamento (1956). In the 1980s he appeared as a supporting player in a number of movies, such as Momento Inesquecível (1983) and Campo dos Sonhos (1989). However, it will be the sound of his voice, the way that he laughed, and the larger-than-life characters he played that will always be remembered.

Burt Reynolds
Enduring, strong-featured, and genial star of US cinema, Burt Reynolds started off in T.V. westerns in the 1960s and then carved his name into 1970s/1980s popular culture, as a sex symbol (posing nearly naked for "Cosmopolitan" magazine), and on-screen as both a rugged action figure and then as a wisecracking, Southern type of "good ol' boy." Burton Leon Reynolds was born in Lansing, Michigan. He was the son of Harriette Fernette "Fern" (Miller) and Burton Milo Reynolds, who was in the army. After World War II, his family moved to Riviera Beach, Florida, where his father was chief of police, and where Burt excelled as an athlete and played with Florida State University. He became an All Star Southern Conference halfback (and was earmarked by the Baltimore Colts) before a knee injury and a car accident ended his football career. Midway through college he dropped out and headed to New York with aspirations of becoming an actor. There he worked in restaurants and clubs while pulling the odd TV spot or theatre role. He was spotted in a New York City production of "Mister Roberts," signed to a TV contract, and eventually had recurring roles in such shows as Gunsmoke (1955), Riverboat (1959) and his own series, O Falcão (1966). Reynolds continued to appear in undemanding western roles, often playing a character of half Native American descent, in films such as Joe, o Pistoleiro Implacável (1966), 100 Rifles (1969) and Sam Whiskey, o Proscrito (1969). However, it was his tough-guy performance as macho Lewis Medlock in the John Boorman backwoods nightmare Amargo Pesadelo (1972) that really stamped him as a bona-fide star. Reynolds' popularity continued to soar with his appearance as a no-nonsense private investigator in Paixão pelo Perigo (1973) and in the Woody Allen comedy Tudo o que Você Sempre quis Saber Sobre Sexo, mas Tinha Medo de Perguntar (1972). Building further on his image as a Southern boy who outsmarts the local lawmen, Reynolds packed fans into theaters to see him in Sob o Signo da Vingança (1973), Golpe Baixo (1974), W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings (1975) and Gator, O Implacável (1976). At this time, ex-stuntman and longtime Reynolds buddy Hal Needham came to him with a "road film" script. It turned out to be the incredibly popular Agarra-me se Puderes (1977) with Sally Field and Jerry Reed, which took in over $100 million at the box office. That film's success was followed by Desta Vez te Agarro (1980) and Agora Você Não Escapa (1983). Reynolds also appeared alongside Kris Kristofferson in the hit football film A Disputa dos Sexos (1977), with friend Dom DeLuise in the black comedy Se Não Me Mato, Morro! (1978) (which Reynolds directed), in the stunt-laden buddy film Hooper, o Homem das Mil Façanhas (1978) and then in the self-indulgent, star-packed road race flick Quem Não Corre, Voa (1981). The early 1980s started off well with a strong performance in the violent police film Caçada em Atlanta (1981), which he also directed, and he starred with Dolly Parton in A Melhor Casa Suspeita do Texas (1982) and with fellow macho superstar Clint Eastwood in the coolly received Cidade Ardente (1984). However, other projects such as O Imbatível (1983), Um Homem Destemido (1985) and Paternidade (1981) failed to catch fire with fans and Reynolds quickly found himself falling out of popularity with movie audiences. In the late 1980s he appeared in only a handful of films, mostly below average, before television came to the rescue and he shone again in two very popular TV shows, B.L. Stryker (1989) and Sombra da Noite (1990), for which he won an Emmy. In 1988, Burt and his then-wife, actress Loni Anderson, had a son, Quinton A. Reynolds (aka Quinton Anderson Reynolds), whom they adopted. He was back on screen, but still the roles weren't grabbing the public's attention, until his terrific performance as a drunken politician in the otherwise woeful Striptease (1996) and then another tremendous showing as a charming, porn director in Boogie Nights: Prazer Sem Limites (1997), which scored him a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Like the phoenix from the ashes, Reynolds resurrected his popularity and, in the process, gathered a new generation of young fans, many of whom had been unfamiliar with his 1970s film roles. He then put in entertaining work in Pups (1999), Esquentando o Alasca (1999), Alta Velocidade (2001) and Um Novo Amigo (2002). Definitely one of Hollywood's most resilient stars, Reynolds continually surprised all with his ability to weather both personal and career hurdles and his almost 60 years in front of the cameras were testament to his staying ability, his acting talent and his appeal to film audiences. Burt Reynolds died of cardiac arrest on September 6, 2018, in Jupiter, Florida, U.S. He was eighty two.
