It’s been said that the only constant you can count on is change. This is true everywhere and definitely so in regards to the entertainment industry. TV and film stars had a clear path as to achieving success in the past but this has changed drastically in the modern era. Eddie McGee can confidently attest to this. It was eighteen years ago when McGee had just started acting in college and he auditioned for a new reality series called Big Brother on CBS. His goal was to see how the American viewing public would respond to him as an indicator of whether he should pursue this “acting thing.” Eddie emerged from that first season as the winner, a media darling, and with a much bigger bank account. Now, almost two decades later, with a resume of work which includes: Mutant X, Law & Order, Guiding Light , Desperate Housewives , The Cleaner , The Philanthropist , NCIS: Los Angeles , and a number of films, McGee is appearing as the lead in Eddie’s . This comedy depicts a Venice, Califor...

Too few of us dare to manifest our dreams. It’s a requirement for an actor to be a dreamer, both in practice and in theory. Australian actress Brooke Chamberlain is one of those few in the world who understood her dreams and followed the course through to manifest them. Growing up in Alstonville (NSW, Australia), a little country town merely twenty minutes from Byron Bay, Brooke followed her brothers and attempted to do whatever they did. This rejection of any limitations is what likely led to her self-confidence. When her talent and said confidence landed her on the set of Lionsgate’s Daybreakers (starring Ethan Hawke, Sam Neil, Willam Defoe, and Claudia Karvan) it was apparent to her and everyone around her that this was her calling. Subsequent appearances in blockbusters like Walt Disney Pictures Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales starring Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem vetted this fact. Chamberlain’s career thus far has been the eclectic life of an actress with diff...

Growing up, Fred Stichnoth was always drawn to adventure movies set in tropical locations. “I love ancient themes, from Egypt to Indonesia. I’ve spent a long time travelling around the world, being drawn to what is considered taboo,” he says. So, it was a dream come true when he located from his native Germany to the Indonesian Island of Bali. From here he has been able to explore some of the remotest areas in the East Indies and the tribes that call these places home. A home that is fast disappearing, along with their customs, legends, ceremony and regalia. When the world is at your feet, turning your back on it is a big call. But most of us are not Fred Stichnoth. The German-born, Bali-based photographer relinquished life as a celebrity and fashion photographer in the late nineties, where he was poised for popularity, in order to decamp to the East Indies and collect shells. It’s a move that has yielded a distinctive body of work. Stichnoth’s portraiture bears the hallma...

Almost immediately following season one, the network renewed this talent competition series for a second season AND extended the episodes per season.
