From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. James Whale (22 July 1889 – 29 May 1957) was an English film director, theatre director and actor. He is best remembered for his work in the horror film genre, having directed Frankenstein (1931), The Old Dark House (1932), The Invisible Man (1933) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), all recognized as classics of the genre. Whale directed over a dozen films in other genres, including what is considered the definitive film version of the musical Show Boat (1936). He became increasingly disenchanted with his association with horror, but many of his non-horror films have fallen into obscurity. Born into a large family in Dudley, England, Whale early discovered his artistic talent and studied art. With the outbreak of World War I, Whale enlisted in the British Army and became an officer. He was captured by the Germans and during his time as a prisoner of war he realized he was interested in drama. Following his release at the end of the war he became an actor, set designer and director. His success directing the 1928 play Journey's End led to his move to the United States, first to direct the play on Broadway and then to Hollywood to direct motion pictures. Whale lived in Hollywood for the rest of his life, most of that time with his longtime companion, producer David Lewis. Including Journey's End (1930), Whale directed a dozen films for Universal Studios between 1930 and 1936 (his uncredited work on the war epic Hell's Angels having been done for United Artists), developing a style characterized by the influence of German Expressionism and a highly mobile camera. At the height of his popularity as a director, Whale directed The Road Back, a sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front, in 1937. Studio interference, possibly spurred by political pressure from Nazi Germany, led to the film's being altered from Whale's vision and The Road Back was a critical and commercial failure. A string of commercial failures followed and, while Whale would make one final short film in 1950, by 1941 his film directing career was over. Whale continued to direct for the stage and also rediscovered his love for painting and travel. His investments made him wealthy and he lived a comfortable retirement until suffering strokes in 1956 that robbed him of his vigor and left him in pain. Whale committed suicide on 29 May 1957 by drowning himself in his backyard swimming pool. Whale was openly gay throughout his career, something that was very unusual in the 1920s and 1930s. As knowledge of his sexual orientation has become more common, some of his films, Bride of Frankenstein in particular, have been interpreted as having a gay subtext and it has been claimed that Whale's refusal to remain in the closet led to the end of his career. However, Whale's associates dismiss the notions that Whale's sexuality informed his work or that it cost him his career.

Olivier Gourmet est un acteur belge né le 22 juillet 1963 à Namur. En 1996, la première apparition au cinéma d'Olivier Gourmet marque les esprits : dans La Promesse, le film coup de poing de Jean-Pierre et Luc Dardenne, il se révèle saisissant de vérité en père odieux et combinard. Les frères belges, adeptes d'un cinéma brut et citoyen, ont trouvé l'acteur idoine. Ils lui confient alors le rôle du patron dans Rosetta, puis celui d'un menuisier qui engage comme apprenti l'assassin de son enfant dans Le Fils : souvent filmé de dos, le comédien n'en émeut pas moins le Jury du Festival de Cannes qui lui attribue le Prix d'interprétation en 2002. Mais, avant d'être consacré sur la Croisette, le Wallon avait déjà attiré l'attention des cinéastes français, participant à des œuvres exigeantes (Nationale 7, De l'histoire ancienne), et affichant une prédilection pour les rôles de salauds (Sur mes lèvres, Sauve-moi). Très sollicité après son Prix d'interprétation, Olivier Gourmet reste la figure familière d'un cinéma d'auteur pointu (celui de des Pallières ou Eugène Green), mais prend aussi part à des productions plus grand public, comme Le Mystère de la chambre jaune, Les Fautes d'orthographe (2004) ou Les Brigades du Tigre (2006). Mi-ogre mi-prince charmant dans La Petite Chartreuse, il s'attache à révéler la part d'humanité de héros a priori infréquentables (le PDG du Couperet de Costa-Gavras). Son charisme et sa carrure l'orientent vers des personnages qui représentent l'autorité (militaire dans Mon colonel, curé dans Jacquou Le Croquant). Compagnon de Nathalie Baye (Mon fils à moi) ou d'Isabelle Huppert (Home), il occupe une place centrale dans le cinéma hexagonal, comme en témoignent ses prestations dans les films-événements Coluche d'Antoine de Caunes, Mesrine de Jean-François Richet (2008) ou encore Go Fast (id.) d'Olivier Van Hoofstadt. En 2011, il n'a pas moins de cinq films à son actif, dont Le Gamin au vélo des frères Dardenne, et le très plébiscité L'Exercice de l'État, qui, en plus d'avoir reçu le Prix de la Critique au Festival de Cannes 2011, a été nommé dans onze catégories aux César 2012. Les films continuent de se succéder pour Olivier Gourmet, figure désormais incontournable du cinéma francophone. Parmi les quatre longs-métrages dont il est à l'affiche en 2013, Grand Central de Rebecca Zlotowski, aux côtés de Tahar Rahim et Léa Seydoux est sélectionné à Cannes et lui vaut une nomination aux César ; également Violette de Martin Provost, qu'il retrouve en 2017 pour Sage Femme avec Catherine Deneuve. Acteur fidèle, Olivier Gourmet retrouve les frères Dardenne autour du mystère de La fille inconnue, sélectionné à Cannes, et renoue avec Stephan Streker le temps des Noces, trois ans après Le monde nous appartient. 2017 est pour lui l'année des frissons ; il se frotte à la fiction télévisée dans le thriller franco-suédois Jour polaire avec Leila Bekhti, est propriétaire d'une entreprise de pompes funèbres à l'agonie dans Grand Froid et tente de conserver le Secret de la chambre noire dans l'inquiétant drame de Kiyoshi Kurosawa, dans lequel il retrouve Tahar Rahim.

A sixth generation Texan, born and raised on a Texas ranch outside of Austin, Texas, Guich Koock (his stage name) attended Texas A&M University, where he earned a BA in English and worked on an MA in Texas folklore by collecting stories from children of slaves. After school he worked at various jobs including some small acting parts, school Headmaster, and restaurant manager. Koock later bought the town of Luckenbach, Texas, along with his friend Russell "Hondo" Crouch, and organized the great Luchenbach World's Fair and the luckenbach women's chili cookoff. It was while that Koock was spotted by casting director, Sherry Rhodes, who cast him in young director Steven Spielberg's first movie "The Sugarland Express." Koock has made a career of playing good ole boys in many films and TV shows, perfecting it in the 1980s sitcom "Carter Country." He's still remained true to his Texas roots. After selling Luckenbach, Koock supported his acting career through a restaurant he bought and operated in Fredericksburg, Texas. Koock continues to enjoy acting, but has never thought of it as real work.
