Sam Witwer grew up in Glenview, Illinois, outside of Chicago. He attended Glenbrook South High School, where he was involved in drama and theater classes, as well as being the lead singer of a high school band. He attended the Julliard School of Drama before heading to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. His first major film role was as Wayne Jessup in The Mist.
In 2008, Witwer was cast to play Doomsday, the new rival of Superman on Smallville’s eighth season after Michael Rosenbaum, who played the superhero’s arch-enemy, Lex Luthor, left the show. He is also known to audiences for his recurring roles as Lieutenant Alex “Crashdown” Quartararo on the popular series Battlestar Galactica and Neil Perry on the Showtime series Dexter. A sci-fi fan growing up, he was happy to have landed a minor guest roll on Star Trek: Enterprise. His other television credits include guest app earances on Bones, Star Trek: New Voyages, Navy NCIS, Dragnet, Cold Case, TAG, and ER.
A lifetime Star Wars fan, Sam appeared as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller/Galen Marek and as Darth Sidious, in the massively successful multimedia project Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Witwer provided both his voice and likeness to the lead characters across all of the mediums. He reprised his role as Galen Marek in the video game: Soulcalibur IV. (There is also speculation that he will reprise his role of Starkiller for the Star Wars live-action TV series.)
Witwer says that his first love is music and he is consequently the lead singer of his own band, The Crashtones. The band released its first CD entitled "Colourful of the Stereo" in 2006. Witwer has since assembled a live line-up consisting of professional musicians and others in the industry, including Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Glenn Howerton, with whom he performs whenever time allows.

Mr. Salkind was born in Mexico City in 1952 and grew up in the world of motion pictures. His grand-father, Michael Salkind, was one of the pioneers of silent films and produced Joyless Street (1925), featuring Greta Garbo in her first major role. Afterwards Michael and his son, Alexander, were responsible for many successful films of artistic achievement, including Orson Welles The Trial (1962). Ilya Salkind then took the reins and became the third generation of these successful filmmakers. He has worked out of Paris, Rome, London, Madrid, New York and Los Angeles, and speaks fluent French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and English. At a young age, Mr. Salkind started his career as a producer and has accumulated a stunning filmography. He produced, with his father and grandfather, the tremendous worldwide box office hits The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers, among many other films. The production of The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers was the first time in the industry a film and its sequel were shot simultaneously. Salkind then went on to initiate the blockbuster Superman franchise, one of the most successful in film history. The Academy-Award-winning Superman: The Movie also has the distinction of being the first major Comic Book film adaptation ever made. Under his supervision, this film and its first two sequels became worldwide blockbusters.

Actor, puppeteer, writer, voice-over artist -- even ballroom dance instructor. Multi-talented performer, Jeff Breslauer, has done all of these things and more.
After graduating with a degree in Broadcasting from Hofstra University, Jeff began his career in New York in the mid-1970s. His puppeteering work can be seen in "The Muppets Take Manhattan" and "The Muppets at Walt Disney World."
At EPCOT, Jeff played "The Dreamfinder," manipulating "Figment," the little dragon star of "Journey into Imagination. He also voiced and manipulated the "Spider" mascot for Scholastic Publishers' video series of "Math Place Programs" for first and second grades.
His vocal talents have been heard in commercials, industrials, TV shows, audiobooks and theme parks as everything from a termite to a cartoon super hero. One of his personal favorites was voicing "The Joker" for Six Flags Amusement Parks. Jeff had the pleasure of adding over a dozen voices to his audio repertoire when he performed the audio book versions of Glenda C. Finkelstein's sci-fi novels, "The Edge of the Universe", and "Nemesis Rising". He also voiced and narrated the sci-fi/comedy audiobook trilogy "Cheese Runners", "Cheese Rustlers" and "Cheese Lords" all written by Chris Jackson.
Another special project Jeff participated in is Sounds Abound© On All Hallow's Eve, a spellbinding aural feast created with his partners at JMJ Entertainment, Jeff Evans and Mark Priest.
As a writer, Jeff is very proud of his newly published children's book entitled, "Abner the Clown". Brightly and brilliantly illustrated by Linda Campbell, the book tells the tale of Abner as he relates to children, in rhyme, about his low self-esteem. The picture book goes on to describe how Abner's friends help him to be proud of himself, and that they love him for who he is.
In addition to performing on stage in such plays as "Breaking Legs" with Frank Gorshin (TV's "Riddler"), Jeff's work has graced several popular themed attractions in Orlando, Florida, including Walt Disney World, Sleuths Mystery Dinner Theatre (as everything from a detective to a maid to a stuttering florist), and Arabian Nights (as the Genie).
Jeff's on-screen work includes, "Police Academy V", "Matinee", "Wiseguy", "Superboy", "Swamp Thing", the Showtime movie, "Trade Off", the Mickey Rooney film, "Michael Kael vs. The World News Company", "Doctor Who: A Survivor's Triangle" and the HBO film, "Recount" starring Kevin Spacey
