Matt Cedeno

Book Matt Cedeno

He was born in Moses Lake, Washington to a Cuban father and an Irish-English mother and he stared in the American soap opera Days of Our Lives.

Before becoming an actor he was a runway and magazine model in Italy, Spain and the US for various high-fashion designers including Versace. Matt played a young boxer in the feature film Price of Glory (Jimmy Smits plays the same character years later) and also appeared in the movie The Suburbans with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ben Stiller.

He has been nominated three years in a row for an ALMA award as Outstanding Actor in a Daytime Drama for his work as Brandon Walker on NBC’s Days of Our Lives.

El Pollo Loco’s most recent marketing efforts feature Cedeño playing a character named El Caliente. This has drawn fire from Chicano advocacy groups who claim that the ads depict a stereotypical view of Latinos. Generally, however, El Caliente is seen as less offensive than previous Latino mascots such as the Frito Bandito.

Cedeño is also involved with helping "Padres Contra El Cancer," which is an organization devoted to helping economically disadvantaged Latino families in Los Angeles County whose children have been diagnosed cancer, most of whom are terminal.

Phylicia Rashad

Filed under: Actress, Entertainment

Book Phylicia

Phylicia Rashad is most famous for her role Claire Huxtable on the NBC television show, The Cosby Show, which she has stated is a good portrayal of an African-American family.

When Bill Cosby returned to TV comedy in 1996 with CBS’s Cosby, he again called on Rashad to play Ruth Lucas, his character’s wife. Originally, the part had been cast with Telma Hopkins, but apparently the chemistry between Hopkins and Cosby was not particularly strong so he asked Rashad to take over the role.

Rashad is a graduate of Howard University, and later taught drama there.

In 2004, she became the first African-American actress to win the "Best Leading Actress" Award at the Tony Awards, winning for her role in the play, A Raisin in the Sun.
 

Ricky Martin

Book Rickky Martin

Martin is being hailed as the forerunner in a vanguard of Latin pop guards - a ‘Latin fever’ that is spreading worldwide. His 1998 Spanish-language album, Vuelve, won the 1999 Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance and Martin’s debut single ("Livin’ La Vida Loca") from his first English-language album has become the biggest selling No.1 single in the history of Columbia Records.

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on December 24th 1971, Martin got his first taste of performing in grade school, where he acted in school plays and sang in the choir. As a small child, he appeared in a number of television commercials and immersed himself in singing lessons. Unusually, early influences included David Bowie and Cheap Trick until his mother escorted Martin and his brothers to a Celia Cruz concert, an event that had a profound influence. "One day our mother got tired of rock," he recalls with a smile. "She said, ‘I can’t stand it anymore!’ and grabbed us by the ears and took us to a Celia Cruz concert. It really affected me." Today, Ricky says, "I listen to everything. I’m like a sponge. I’m in this creative moment that feels like, ‘Let’s get it out!’"

So far Martin appears to be handling his success well, turning down a chance to star opposite Jennifer Lopez in a film remake of West Side Story, on the grounds that the movie helps perpetuate Puerto Rican stereotypes; ‘the consummate professional and painstaking artist’. He also continues to maintain a relationship with his longtime girlfriend, Rebecca de Alba (who hosts a TV show in Mexico), and in regard to his singing career he said to USA Today: "I want to do this forever. I don’t want to be the hit of the summer, and, hopefully, with a lot of humility, we can talk in 10 years and I’ll still be here."
