ANGELA VINT (Athena) – Growing up in the suburbia of small-town Oshawa, Angela Vint is a long way from where she started. While landing her first TV gig on “Traders”, which also gave her a Gemini nomination, she was still in University. Since then she has tried to make a name for herself as an established Canadian actor. She has gone on to star in both Canadian and New Zealand TV series such as “Mercy Peak,” “This is Wonderland,” “Blue Murder” and many more. Her film credits include leading roles in features such as “Lars and the Real Girl”, “Urban Legends,” “19 Months” and “Slatlands” as well as various stageworks such as “Closer” and “Dangerous Liaisons.”
After staring in her first short film, “Succubus,” Angela is thrilled to join forces once more with director Alison Reid in “The Baby Formula.”
“It is very rare to land such a great role, in a great script and get to work with such talented cast and crew. To find that combination all in one project is a luxury and I loved every minute of it.”

Roger Dunn (Karl) Thirty years inToronto as a working character actor has led Roger to some very satisfying major roles in features, mini-series, and guest spots on series. “Owning Mahoney”, “Nuremberg”, “Traders”, “Zoe Busiek”, “Regenesis”, “Three to Tango”, “Canadian Bacon”; the list runs to more than 85 film and T.V. projects in all. But for all that, there is a whole generation of young film buffs who will remember him only for his role as the beer store clerk in “Strange Brew”. And perhaps as the slightly slow-witted Bert Potts in four seasons of “Road to Avonlea”. Watch for Roger in the role of Sheriff Tom in the upcoming series of children’s movies “Roxy Hunter”.(top)

Hal Eisen (Daniel) Hal has worked as an actor for over 30 years. He’s also an accomplished designer and has hosted his own design show on HGTV Canada & USA. called Design Match. On stage he’s performed in everything from The Classics to Musical Theatre and played roles as varied as Billy the Kid to Mercutio. Most recently, his favourite part was Mark Blitzstein, the real life composer of Orson Welles’ “The Cradle Will Rock” in Jason Sherman’s Governor Genereal Award winning It’s All True. TV has been Hal’s bread and butter for years and bad guys in suits “with attitude” his mainstay. If it’s been shot in Toronto, he’s probably been in it. In a particularly memorable episode of Puppets Who Kill his love of comedy shone through playing a very funny bad guy in a suit “with attitude”. Denis Arcand’s Stardom was the last feature film Hal loved working on as much as Making Babies. All too rarely, we’re given a chance to work with a superb group of people in a positive environment of complete creative freedom. Mercie! (top)

Maggie Cassella (Radio Interviewer) Maggie Cassella has always been a talker. It is a trait born out of necessity really. The youngest in an Italian family of six with three older brothers, it was pretty much talk or be talked over. Being born with original sin didn’t help much either. “Maybe,” she thought, “if I keep talking I won’t burn in hell.” What? A Double degree in Philosophy and Women’s Studies put her on the fast track to high paying corporate gigs-wait no it didn’t-it put her at a private boarding school in Connecticut teaching philosophy and religion to kids who were, well, smarter than she was. Than she was? Than she? See what we mean?Eventually, Maggie landed on a full time job AND the love of her life (now her wife). Nice landing, we know. One of the original on-air talents on STAR!, she parlayed that job into her own talk show called Because I Said So™. (You’ll note that funny trademark sign keeps popping up. We’re not sure why Maggie bothers. As you may recall, Universal recently released a movie with the same name. Silly rabbits, trademarks are for kids. What?)
BISS, as it was referred to around the station, allowed Maggie to have some fun and interview some big time celebrities. She continues to do those interviews (even though BISS went bust) as a field producer during the Toronto International Film Festival for the syndicated US entertainment show, Extra. Over the years Maggie has had the privilege of interviewing comedy legends such as Phyllis Diller, Bea Arthur, Joan Rivers, and performers such as William H. Macy, Jude Law, Juliette Binoche, Robert Downey Jr., Laura Linney, Eartha Kitt, k.d. Lang, and too many others to list here.
Maggie had a hand in radio since 1996 when she started doing daily bits for two US stations based in New Jersey and has been heard in Canada on CBC’s The Current, CFRB, AM640, 104.5 CHUM FM, and eventually landed “The Maggie Cassella Show” drive home show, which she hosted from April to August of 2007.
Maggie is currently working on a new weekly half-hour show for OUT TV, tentatively titled On Line with Maggie Cassella and a book called “Because I Said So: I Just Want to Say This About That” or maybe the other way around “ I Just Want to Say This About That: Because I Said So” Who knows? That’s why they call it a working title that much we do know.
