Bunny Levine has had a passion for entertaining from her earliest memory. At the age of two, she subjected all her relatives to her rendition of the song "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" at every possible opportunity. Playing with her sister and friends in pre-school days, her favorite game was a simulation of the performances of the current Hollywood stars, replete with screams and fainting, in the mode of the times. Her greatest regret was that she, unlike her contemporary Shirley Temple, had not been discovered in dance class. By third grade she wrote, directed and starred in the epic, "Debbie's Diary." A year or so later, with increased maturity, she limited her contributions to no more than two of the three elements. All through elementary school and high school, she played either the lead or a character role in school and local productions. Transferring colleges on her marriage after sophomore year made her rethink the wisdom of a short, young, character woman gaining fame and fortune in the field, so she switched majors from Theater Arts, but continued to act, and to work on the college radio station. Already pregnant upon graduation, she put her acting aspirations on the back burner for 25 years, working primarily as a school librarian, to help her underpaid college professor husband raise their three children. Storytelling and book talks helped fill her performing aspirations. Foolishly, she would not participate in community theater, thinking of herself as too much of a professional. Upon early retirement, she began taking acting classes, going on auditions, and gradually immersing herself totally in the fabulous, mad world of acting. Soon she was a member of all the unions and began booking commercials, roles on soaps and episodics, as well as films. Upon her beloved husband, Bernie's, death, she moved from the New York area to the LA market, and continued studying, booking, and striving. Among her credits are Law & Order (1990), The Jimmy Show (2001), Everybody Loves Raymond (1996), _Gilmore Girls_, the soon-to-be-released Charles Busch film, and Las Vegas (2003). She considers herself the most energetic and agile septuagenarian in the field and the oldest living student (her philosophy being that you can never stop learning and exercising the acting muscle).
Michelle Pierce is an actress best known for her recurring role as Jimmy Palmer's wife, Breena, on NCIS. She is also known for Transformers (2007), Desperate Housewives, Rules of Engagement, and Casting Couch (2013).
Christopher was born in Izmir, Turkey to Maria Aliberti and Wayne Goodman.

While attending school at Nicoma Park, Chris played football and basketball from second grade through Junior High where he also picked up tennis. He earned seven varsity athletic letters, finished 12th in the state of Okla. in tennis, served on four student councils, and was selected as an All-State actor before graduating from Choctaw High School. Chris then attended Penn State University as a Theater Major, but changed his focus to International Politics and finally Political Science. He served as 'Worthy Chaplain' for his fraternity (Alpha Tau Omega), was selected twice as 'PSU Spring Week God'(sketch competition), worked one Homecoming Committee, one Dance Marathon morale team, danced one 48 hour Dance Marathon, and was chosen his senior year as a "Man of Penn State". He also sailed around the world on 'Semester at Sea' before graduating and returning to Oklahoma to start a company with his childhood friends. He moved in with his grandparents Ed and Veda Goodman and was with them for the final year of their lives. They were both 94 years old and past away within nine days of each other. Chris was catering and substitute teaching while raising fledgling sports memorabilia business with his two partners, when a truck bomb exploded in downtown Oklahoma City. Through his catering boss he and his two friends managed volunteers and ran the food service line in the Myriad Convention Center (feeding firemen and rescue workers) from dusk till dawn for three straight days before being relieved by the Red Cross. After a year as an owner in the restaurant and bar business and in his third year of "The Case of Champions" (still in business today) he left Oklahoma City to pursue an acting career in Paris, France.
