Eli Roth


38 year-old American film director, producer, writer and actor.

Eli Roth began shooting Super 8 films at the age of eight, after watching Ridley Scott's Alien and vomiting, and deciding he wanted to be a producer/director.

Roth is an award-winning actor, most known for his role as Donny "The Bear Jew" Donowitz in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, for which he won both a SAG Award (Best Ensemble) and a BFCA Critic's Choice Award (Best Acting Ensemble).

In 1995, a year after graduating from NYU, Roth cowrote Cabin Fever with his roommate and friend from NYU, Randy Pearlstein. Lionsgate used the theatrical success of Cabin Fever to raise the money to purchase Artisan Entertainment.

Roth's second feature film, Hostel, was made in 2005 on a budget of a little more than $4 million. It opened to No. 1 at the box office in January 2006, taking in $20 million over its opening weekend.

He cameoed in Piranha (2010) and his head was chopped off.

Jeff Sutphen

Remember Nickelodeon's "U Pick Live"?
Well, it doesn't matter. They had their own superhero called Pickboy. Apparently he isn't the only Pickboy, they have other ones in other countries.

I accidentally thought Pickboy was Bryan Kirkwood. You can tell by the url. Multiple websites had Bryan as Pickboy and I knew they didn't look alike but I had no evidence to the contrary until now.









He is married to actress Stacy Sutphen (above).








He now hosts "BrainSurge" on Nickelodeon, where he can now show his face.




He has directed "The Awesome Hour" and produced "My Family's Got GUTS."
