LAZ ALONSO | CHARLIE DUCHAMP
Chosen as one of Variety’s “Top Ten Actors to Watch in 2009,” actor Laz Alonso can next be seen leading the cast with
actress Paula Patton in the Columbia Pictures romantic comedy Jumping the Broom (Mother’s Day 2011). In addition to the
new A&E series “Breakout Kings,” Alonso will have the strong supporting role of “Sheriff John Burke” in Rod Lurie’s remake of
the Sam Peckinpah classic Straw Dogs (September 16, 2011). Alonso can currently be seen in the lead role of “Tsu’Tey” in
the highest grossing film of all time, Avatar. In early 2009, Alonso played the lead villain role of “Fenix” in the Fast and the
Furious franchise. He executive produced and starred opposite Danny Glover in Alan Jacobs’ Down for Life (aka Por Vida),
which ended up with a much-coveted position in the 2009 Toronto Film Festival, for which it was critically acclaimed, and is
currently debuting in other film festivals around the country. In 2008, Alonso starred in Miracle at St. Anna for director Spike
Lee. His past movie credits include lead roles in the Sony/Screen Gems’ hits Stomp the Yard and This Christmas, a lead role in
the 2006 Roland Joffe psychological thriller Captivity, and a co-starring role in the 2005 hit Jarhead. Past TV credits include
guest-starring roles on “The Unit”, “Bones”, “CSI: Miami,” “The Practice,” “Navy: NCIS” and “Eyes” and in 2010 a recurring role
in the TNT critically acclaimed series “Southland.”
Born and raised in Washington DC, Alonso always knew he wanted to be an actor. He graduated from Howard University
School of Business. After college, he worked at an investment banking firm. When his time eventually opened up to exploring
his passion for acting, Alonso began taking classes in the evening to hone his craft; it didn’t take him long to begin landing
roles in commercials and videos.
From DC to New York, Alonso feels his upbringing not only taught him how to deal with the school of hard knocks, but also
prepared him for his biggest goal, his acting career. He credits the move to NYC as his move into manhood and the city holds
many great memories for him. He also credits his acting ability to these life experiences, as he is able to bring a little of what he
knows or has dealt with into his characters.
DOMENICK LOMBARDOZZI | RAY ZANCANELLI

HBO movie 61*.

that seminal filmmakers like Sidney Lumet, Joe Roth and Michael Mann took notice and cast Lombardozzi in their films. He
starred in “Miami Vice,” “Public Enemies,” and in 2008 was cast in a recurring role on “Entourage,” followed, more recently,

accomplished filmmakers in Hollywood including Steven Spielberg, Aaron Sorkin, Pete Berg, David Fincher, Ricky Gervais,
Amy Heckerling and Shawn Levy. He has shadowed each and every one of them and plans to apply this knowledge and
experience throughout the creative process on his feature film, Gene.
