Rick Snowdon is known for Cry, the Beloved Country (1995), Trigger Fast (1994) and Cocaine Crabs from Outer Space (2022).
Rick was introduced to the technical side of film and television production at an early age at his father's studio in Hollywood. In his teens he became proficient as an editor and cameraman, working on a wide range of projects. After attending film school at USC, he ventured into the world of independent filmmaking and has been producing films under his "Hip Films" banner since. He also directed and produced a number of television series including "Close Up" for TV Guide Network, and revisits of his father's "Hollywood Backstage" series for AMC, "High Road to Danger" for Red Bull and "The Open Road" Americana documentary series. In 2014 Spalla produced the documentary feature "And the Oscar Goes to..." in conjunction with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Telling Pictures. Spalla is currently developing the feature film "Zeppelin Rising" which explores the early days of iconic guitarist Jimmy Page and the subsequent formation of the band Led Zeppelin. Other current projects include the family-adventure film "The Treasure of Pirate's Cove" (Director) and sci-fi thriller series "Shelter Cove" (Producer/Director) and family feature "The Last Thunderbird" (Director/Producer).

Rick Springfield was born Richard Lewis Springthorpe in Guildford, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, to Eileen Louise (Evennett) and Norman James Springthorpe, a Lt. Colonel in the Australian Army. His maternal grandparents were English, and his father was of English and some Scottish descent. Rick spent his childhood on various army bases in Australia and Britain. As a teenager, he fronted many music bands, such as the "Jordy Boys", "Wakedy Wak", and "Zoot". The latter was his most successful, paving his way for future success as a musician. He came to the U.S. early 1970s, and recorded an album, Beginnings. It had one "major" hit - Speak to The Sky. After that came "Comic Book Heroes", which was marginally successful. He learned to speak English with an American accent to further his acting career, after he lost his record label. While he waited for his big break, he signed a contract with Universal television, playing bit parts in shows such as The Six Million Dollar Man (1974) and The Rockford Files (1974). He also had a recurring role on the soap The Young and the Restless (1973). In the early 1980s, his luck changed as he signed to RCA Records and was then cast as "Dr. Noah Drake" on the soap General Hospital (1963). While he had released six albums in the 1970s, his 1980 break-through album "Working Class Dog" gave him the #1 single "Jessie's Girl". From the music and TV exposure, he became a teen idol. He continued to star on "GH" while touring and releasing "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet", with the hit "Don't Talk To Strangers". Upon releasing his 3rd album with RCA-"Living In Oz" he quit "GH" and went back to his rock roots. "Living In Oz" is considered by many his finest (and hardest rock) album. He starred in the movie Hard to Hold (1984) in 1984 and released the soundtrack to it with the hit "Love Somebody", followed by "Don't Walk Away" and "Bop Til Ya Drop". His next album, "Tao", started his slow descent from rock star status. It was followed up in 1988 by "Rock Of Life" which was his 'moodiest' and least recognized album (by the public). In 2015, Rick received positive notices playing Meryl Streep's character's boyfriend in Ricki and the Flash (2015).

Rick Stein is one of England's most recognisable chefs, a restaurateur and a hugely popular television presenter. As a chef his speciality is seafood, but with his series Food Heroes, Rick has shown that he's equally passionate about the best of British produce whatever its provenance. In his most recent series French Odyssey, he also revealed a passion for the French way of life, and the way that food is intimately tied up with the culture. He was born in Oxfordshire to Eric and Dorothy Stein, who were of German descent. He later moved to Padstow, Cornwall where he spent many childhood holidays. He graduated from Oxford University with a degree in English. He then spent several years running a disco before buying an ailing local nightclub in Padstow--a venture which would seem a million miles away from cooking. However, when Rick opened his first restaurant it specialised in freshly caught local produce, supplied by the fishermen who had once frequented his club. He has run the Seafood Restaurant for more than 25 years, seeing it grow from a seaside bistro to an award-winning restaurant with an international reputation. Since those early days, the Steins have added guest bedrooms, a Seafood Delicatessen, a gift shop and two smaller restaurants - St Petroc's Bistro and Rick Stein's Café. The most recent addition is the Padstow Seafood School overlooking the Camel estuary and a fish and chips takeaway. He is respected by both his peers and critics alike winning a number of awards and honours, including the Glenfiddich Trophy for his outstanding contribution to widening the understanding and appreciation of excellent food and drink in Britain through his work as a chef, teacher, presenter and author. He has also won the AA Guide Chefs' Chef of the Year for 1999-2000. His many TV programmes and books include Rick Stein's Taste of the Sea, Fruits of the Sea, Seafood Odyssey, Fresh Food, Seafood Lovers' Guide, Food Heroes, French Odyssey and Mediterranean Escapes. A committed humanitarian, Rick is also Patron of the charities Padstow Youth Project, South West PESCA (Duchy Fish Quota Co.), the National Mission for Deep Sea Fishermen, the National Coastwatch Institution, the Dyslexia Research Trust and The National Trust. He is also the head chef and co-owner of "Rick Stein at Bannisters" at Mollymook, New South Wales, Australia, owns four restaurants in Padstow, and a fish and chip shop in Falmouth, Cornwall. He is represented in London, England by Useful Talent.
