From a young age, Chiwetel Ejiofor was enamoured by stories, but it wasn’t until he discovered Shakespeare that his passion was truly ignited. Pursuing his love for drama, Chiwetel was performing with the National Youth Theatre by the age of 13 and studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts. His talent soon caught the eye of Steven Spielberg, who cast him in his film debut, Amistad. As well as continuing to perform on stage, Chiwetel maintains an onscreen presence, most recently as Solomon Northup in 12 Years a Slave – a film set in antebellum United States and based on a harrowing true story. Solomon is an educated musician living in upstate New York when he is kidnapped and forced into 12 years of slavery.
Just as Kylie Minogue will always be remembered as Charlene in Australia, Margot Robbie is still Donna from Neighbours to many of her fans. After growing up on the Gold Coast and moving to Melbourne to start her acting career, Margot outgrew her steady Neighbours gig and headed for Hollywood, where she landed her first major role in the TV series, Pan Am. Recently transitioning to film, Margot has starred in About Time and The Wolf of Wall Street, in which she plays Naomi – the pretty young thing who captures the fancy of corrupt stockbroker Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). Living a life of excess after making his fortune on Wall Street, Jordan is hungry for more – impervious to the looming presence of the authorities.
Will Forte completed a degree in history and then worked in finance before finally deciding to indulge his comic streak. He has since written for and been part of the cast of Saturday Night Live, starred in a number of comedy films and, perhaps most impressively, registered the world’s 29thhighest Donkey Kong score in 2011. Despite his success as a gamer, Will’s focus remains on his acting career, recently playing the role of David in the heartwarming father-son tale, Nebraska. When David’s surly father Woody (Bruce Dern) receives a letter telling him that he has won a million dollars, he decides to roadtrip across four states to claim his fortune. David has never been close to his ageing father, but decides to join him on the long trip.
