MICHAEL MORIARTY .63 Actor	Michael Moriarty has since blazed an inimitable path across the performing-arts universe. He attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts on a Fulbright scholarship, then made his professional debut as Octavius Caesar in Antony and Cleopatra at the New York Shakespeare Festival in 1963. His subsequent tours-de-force onstage came with the likes of Love's Labour Lost, Major Barbara, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui and The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail, among many other plays. Moriarty's international fame, by then long overdue, was secured in 1973 with three performances--as Henry Wiggins in Bang the Drum Slowly, the gentleman caller in The Glass Menagerie, and Julian Weston in Find Your Way Home; with one fell swoop, he had earned four prestigious awards, including an Emmy and a Tony. And the honors were only beginning. Moriarty went on to win the 1978 Emmy and a Golden Globe for his memorable turn as Dorf, the SS officer in the TV miniseries Holocaust; numerous awards for his work opposite Blythe Danner in the 1979 TV-movie Too Far to Go; and Emmy nominations for his 1989 guest-star role on The Equalizer and in 1991 for Law and Order, the long-running NBC series on which he starred, as Assistant DA Ben Stone, for its first four seasons. But the awards that matter to him just as much, he says, have come from some unexpected quarters: one from Yeshiva University, honoring his "creative versatility and dedication to the pursuit of Holocaust Studies"; another, in 1994, from the Massachusetts Civil Liberties Foundation for his "contribution to the cause of civil liberties."

KAI WONG .02 Actor	Kai was an actor/singer until he remembered that sleeping with producers, directors, casting agents and even casting office secretaries in Manhattan wasn't his major at Dartmouth. He decided to become a producing/casting person so that he can sleep alone instead. Training includes The Lee Strasberg Theater Institute and The Neighborhood Playhouse. Assistant to productions of Le Divorce (2003), The Mystic Masseur (2001), Heights (2004), The White Countess (2005).

Stage work include War&Pieces (St. Mark's Danspace), Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, Victor Hugo's Ruy Blas, Sophocles, Henrik Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. Thanks to Jadin Wong (Ex-agent to Joan Chen, John Lone, Bai Ling, B.D. Wong, David Henry Hwang and Lucy Liu), he has most recently been seen for the lead role in Dark Matter (2005) starring Meryl Streep, but he did not get it. Kai was also almost the boyfriend of the Sopranos' daughter. Screen time has been in the nanoseconds on Coor's Light ad, She Hate Me, and Kai is still praying for his break. He just saw beautiful Isabelle Huppert weep on stage and is very inspired. Kai hates Bush-dom and Bush-isms and would love to get involved in films that prove Bush wrong. Just thinking of L.A. tires him. He really can't do 360 degree Paris Hilton nude crawls and is still learning how to drive. P.S. Kai regrets wasting four years of his life fighting booneyland racism in Hanover and is still working on his script about suicide, love, romanticism, Jesus and butterflies.br>(Last Udpated 03.20.05)
