James Murray

James Murray (sometimes billed as 'James Scott Murray') is a British actor, possibly best known for his roles in ‘Under the Greenwood Tree,’ and ‘Cutting It.’


Born on 22 January 1975 in Manchester, England, the son of a Scottish engineer, and great grandson of Richard Hollins Murray, the inventor of the reflecting lens, James grew up in Lancashire and Herefordshire.

 
He made his first screen appearance aged only 4, in 1979, in the role of infant Charlie in the BBC detective drama ‘Shoestring.’ His next brush with celebrity was three years later when as a 007-obsessed youngster his wish to meet James Bond was granted on the Jim’ll Fix It show. He must therefore have been in seventh heaven when he later co-starred alongside ex Bond Timothy Dalton in the 2006 ITV Miss Marple drama, 'The Sittaford Mystery,' and describes the experience as “a big thrill.”

With the instant success of 'Primeval,' and a role in a new film, reportedly shot in Bulgaria in the spring of 2007, it appears that James' is very much on the rise, and his increasing number of fans worldwide look forward to many more screen appearances to come.

Lee Mead

Out of the contestants on Any Dream Will Do, he was not my first choice for hot, but theres something there.

Lee Stephen Mead (born 14 July 1981, Southend-on-Sea) is a British musical theatre actor, best known for playing the male lead in the 2007 London West End revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The show's composer/co-producer Andrew Lloyd Webber cast Mead in the role because he won the BBC reality talent show Any Dream Will do.

Aged eight, Mead "went to see Joseph with his other gran,” his grandmother Lilian Horning, 77, told 11 June's Mirror, adding: "He saw Joseph and pointed to him and said 'That's who I want to be'. Acting and singing is all he ever wanted to do."

Adam Miller

A talented sportsman, Miller turned to athletics upon suffering an injury playing baseball, and began training seriously in early 2001.

Miller caused a sensation at the NSW State School Championships not long after, where he clocked an incredible 10.87 seconds for the 100m sprint.

  adam_miller_1

By the end of 2001, he had achieved a personal best time of 10.60, and later qualified for the World Junior Championships, where he finished seventh in the quarter finals of the 100m and fourth in the semi finals of the 200m.

His best performance arrived in early 2002 as part of the Telstra A Series, where he clocked 10.41 in the 100m heat and 10.48 in the final. He finished the race as the second Australian past the line, defeating acclaimed sprinter Patrick Johnson, who recently became the first Australian to break the 10-second barrier.

Although he narrowly missed selection to Australia's Commonwealth Games team in 2002, Miller won the national junior sprint double that year and in his first season in the Open category of the Australian Championships, reached the final of the 200m.

adam_miller_2

Miller produced a consistent set of performances early in 2004. He won his first 200m National Open title at the Telstra A-Championships, having already produced an Olympic A qualifier of 20.47 at the NSW State Championships.

Miller's time was the fastest by an Australian since Shirvington ran 20.45 in 1998 and subsequently recognised by selectors as Miller gained selection for the Athens Olympics.

Despite a hamstring injury sustained just before the Games, Miller made it onto the track for his Olympic debut.

In 2006, following a terrific domestic season, Miller was selected in the Australian Commonwealth Games team to compete in Melbourne. Miller raced in the men's 4x100m Relay final and the team was unlucky to finish out of the medals after qualifying second fastest for the event.

With the benefit of Athens and Melbourne behind him, Miller is primed to take his career to the next level.
