James Marsden (Glenn Foy)
James Marsden used both his talent and photogenic features to become one of the more talked-about young actors of the late '90s. Winning his first starring role in
Disturbing Behavior (1998) -- yet another film to take advantage of the late-'90s teen horror craze -- James weathered the critical and box-office indifference surrounding that project to quickly resurface in Bryan Singer's fantastically successful adaptation of the
X-Men in 2000.
A native of Stillwater, Oklahoma, where he was born on September 18, 1973, James grew up with a sister and two brothers. Following a short stint at Oklahoma State University, he dropped out of school to move to Los Angeles and pursue his interest in acting. His move led to work as a Versace model and to a brief role as the original Griffin on Fox's Party of Five.
James got his first big break with his lead on the short-lived ABC series Second Noah. But he hit the top of the popularity chart with the plum role of Cyclops in Singer's X-Men. This was followed by Sugar and Spice, a black comedy that cast him opposite fellow up-and-comer Mena Suvari
He can next be seen in the sequel to The X-Men, early 2003, and when he's not busy shooting James is at home with wife Lisa, and their child.
Josh Hopkins (Raymond Milbury)
The son of a former Republican Congressman, Josh was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, where he was a basketball star in high school. After training in voice and theater at Auburn University, Hopkins returned to his home and joined the Actors Theatre of Louisville. In 1994, he made his Broadway debut as an understudy for Kyle Chandler in the revival of Picnic.
Josh's first movie appearance was in the little-seen movie Parallel Sons.
1997 proved a banner year for the actor. He hosted the four-part TV series Street Smarts for Kentucky Educational Television and landed a featured role as one of the recruits alongside Demi Moore in G.I. Jane. The following year, he joined the regular cast of the Fox series New York Undercover.
His other film credits include the NBC movie the NBC movie Silencing Mary, the TNT original Pirates of Silicon Valley, The Perfect Storm and the romantic comedy Love & Sex.
