Tom Arnold

Tom Arnold was born in Ottumwa, Iowa. While attending the University of Iowa, he got his first introduction to stand-up comedy when he performed at an open microphone night. After that, he won the Minneapolis Comedy Competition and then moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in stand-up comedy.

Once he came out to Los Angeles, Tom became a staff writer on the hit show Roseanne where he also began to appear as one of the show’s lead actors and, eventually, the Executive Producer of the show.

As a writer, producer, and actor, Tom Arnold has established himself to both television and film audiences worldwide, having won such awards as the Peabody Award and a Golden Globe Award. Additionally, he helped put Fox Sports Network on the map with his hosting duties on “Best Damn Sports Show Period.” He recently returned to Fox Sports Network as both producer and host of the kids’ baseball show “KID PITCH”. He also hosts the CMT’s “My Big Redneck Wedding” and the latest series on CMT, “My Big Redneck Vacation.”

Arnold cornered the market on playing the resident comic relief in films like “Nine Months” with Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore, and Robin Williams, “True Lies” with Arnold Schwarzenegger, “Hero” with Dustin Hoffman, and “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” with Mike Myers.

Arnold has successfully broken out of the comedic stereotype and is becoming a fixture at film festivals by landing more mature and dramatic roles. He received critical praise for his role in “Gardens of the Night,” opposite John Malkovich, “The Great Buck Howard” starring John Malkovich and Tom Hanks, and “The Year of Getting to Know Us” opposite Sharon Stone, Jimmy Fallon and Lucy Liu. In 2005, he received critical notice for his role in Don Roos’ “Happy Endings” for Lions Gate Films. He was also seen in “Pride” opposite Terrance Howard, and “Animal Factory,” directed by Steve Buscemi.

Born in Iowa, Tom has established a writing scholarship and runs an acting workshop for students at the Indian Hills Community College in Iowa. Tom is heavily involved in many charities such as The Race to Erase MS, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Best Buddies, Camp del Corazon, The Kayne Eras Center, Promises Foundation, Carousel of Hope, Arnold's Inner City Games, The Hollenbeck Christmas Giveaway, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Special Olympics and the USO.

Vivica A. Fox

Vivica Fox was born in South Bend, Indiana, the youngest of four children. After graduation, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue that performing career, but wisely enrolled in school part-time at Golden West College in Huntington Beach as well. She also worked in a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard, and one day a customer—who turned out to be a film producer—recommended that she give his agent-friend a call.

Fox called the woman and was soon auditioning for and winning small roles on television shows such as ABC's Matlock, Days of Our Lives, and Generations, another 1989 NBC daytime soap, but aimed at an African American audience. She also won a small part in Born on the Fourth of July, the 1989 Tom Cruise movie about a Vietnam veteran; Fox played a hooker in her big-screen debut. A role in an 1991 episode of NBC's The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air led to a recurring one on Out All Night, also on NBC, in which she played Patti LaBelle's fashion-stylist daughter.

Nevertheless, the occasional parts and the uncertainty of sitcom work left Fox in worrisome financial straits. She considered moving back to the Midwest, but her parents loaned her money at one point to keep her in California, "thank God, because they believed in me," Fox told writer Deborah Gregory in an Essence interview. For guidance, her mother suggested prayer, and Fox began attending church. After being out of work for a year, in 1994 she took a recurring part as Dr. Stephanie Simmons on another daytime soap, The Young and the Restless. Fox was noticed by a fan of the CBS show who was also married to a film producer. That viewer told her husband about the actress, and Fox was called in for an audition for a supporting role in the action thriller Independence Day; she would play lead actor Will Smith's love interest.

Her next screen role came in Set It Off, released later in 1996. Fox played a fired bank teller who joins three other women in a series of daring bank robberies; her co-stars were Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett, and Kimberly Elise. She then dropped 30 pounds to play an ex-assassin in Kill Bill in 2003.

By the early 2000s, Fox had begun her work in production, partnering with her manager, lawyer Lita Richardson. In 2004 Fox took on the executive production as well as the lead role in the television series, Missing, a drama about FBI investigations. She also produced the 2005 film The Salon, a comedy about a beauty shop owner, and had another film, called Getting Played, in the works.

She received NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for her role in 2006. In March 2020, she starred in the movie True to the Game 2, starring Tamar Braxton.
