Prior to her starring role as Virginia Lewis in the epic miniseries The 10th Kingdom, Kimberly Williams was perhaps best known as Steve Martin's daughter in the two Father of the Bride films, as well as a popular Hallmark greeting card campaign that saw her reunited with her Father of the Bride on-screen husband, fellow Northwestern grad George Newbern. As a teenager, native New Yorker Kimberly Williams began her career acting in commercials. After high school, she was accepted to the prestigious School of Speech at Northwestern University where she received her big break during her sophomore year. She was chosen for the role as Steve Martin's daughter in the box-office hit, Father of the Bride. Williams put Hollywood on hold and subsequently returned to school to complete her degree. During that time, she had a starring role in Touchstone Picture's comedy drama, Indian Summer, with Alan Arkin, Diane Lane and Bill Paxton. After completing her degree, Williams resumed her acting career, making her television debut in the critically acclaimed series, Relativity, created by Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, the producers of thirtysomething. She reprised her role as Steve Martin's daughter in Father of the Bride II, and starred in the films, Coldblooded and The War at Home. Most recently, she starred in the Miramax film Elephant Juice, directed by Sam Miller and the Canal Plus Film Simpatico, with Sharon Stone, Jeff Bridges and Nick Nolte, based on the Sam Shepard play. Her television credits include the Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation of Neil Simon's Jake's Women, All Together Now and Tales From the Crypt.

With starring roles that swept projects on three major networks, Scott Cohen is still one of the hottest talents of the millennium. In addition to his standout performance as Wolf in The 10th Kingdom, Cohen stared with an ensemble cast in the miniseries Perfect Murder, Perfect Town, about the investigation of the Jon Benet Ramsey murder. Also guest-stared on the Emmy Award-winning series, NYPD Blue, in a special three-episode storyline as a charismatic, alcoholic detective who becomes involved with Diane Russell, played by Kim Delaney. Cohen includes among his guest-starring credits some of television's most highly acclaimed series, including the gritty drama Oz, Dick Wolf's New York Undercover and NYPD Blue. He received critical acclaim for his no-holds-barred performance as an ambitious film director who murders his wife in the Law and Order trilogy, Judgment in L.A. His television credits also include the critically acclaimed HBO movies Gia with Angelina Jolie and Gotti with Armand Assante, as well as the Showtime feature The Wharf Rat with Lou Diamond Phillips. Cohen made his feature film debut in Jacob's Ladder with Tim Robbins. Other feature film credits include A Brother's Kiss, Private Parts, The Mambo Kings, King of the Jungle and more. Television audiences will also recognize Cohen from the popular Volkswagen Passat commercial, where his flirtation with an attractive woman in the next car is rudely interrupted when a child's toy hits the dashboard. Cohen lives in New York with his wife, playwright Ana Traina, and their son Liam.

John Larroquette's first major asset was his smooth speaking voice. He put it to good use as a New Orleans disc jockey, but went on to make more of an impression with it as the narrator of the cult film classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in 1974. He got in front of a camera the next year on TV's Doctor's Hospital and then landed a regular role on Baa Baa Black Sheep, a World War II series that ran from 1976 to 1978. Small movie parts gave way to his breakthrough in 1983, a role as philandering prosecutor Dan Fielding on the hit sitcom Night Court. The part earned Larroquette four consecutive Emmy Awards (1985-88). The amiable, hulking actor took enough time off from the series to appear in a string of forgettable movies, and after nearly a decade in court, got his own series in 1993. The John Larroquette Show, a well-watched and well-reviewed program, allowed him to play a recovering alcoholic, a role that wasn't much of a stretch. A prolific drinker during the '70s, the actor's family motivated him to sober up without setting foot in an A.A. meeting. Dry since 1981, he's long been an outspoken anti-alcohol crusader. The only drink Larroquette's associated with these days is Barq's root beer: bottles of the New Orleans-produced soft drink were background scenery mainstays in his Night Court and Larroquette Show scenes for years. The series vet stepped up to the plate once again, in 1999, to head the cast of Payne, and ill-advised remake of the classic British television series Fawly Towers. Larroquette's additional credits include the movies, The Defenders and One Special Victory, in which he starred and served as executive producer, as well as recurring roles in the series, Baa Baa Black Sheep and Doctor's Hospital. His feature film credits include co-starring roles in Richie Rich, Tune In Tomorrow, Second Sight, Madhouse, Blind Date, Summer Rental, Stripes, Choose Me, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Twilight Zone: The Movie. On stage, Larroquette starred in the Los Angeles productions of the critically acclaimed Happy Jack and Endgame, for which he received a 1984 Dramalogue Award.

Daniel LaPaine plays the dual roles of Prince Wendell and the Dog Prince to perfection. And from his flawless English accent, fans would never have guessed that this incredibly talented young actor hails from the magical land of Oz—Australia, that is! A relative newcomer to the industry, Australian-born Daniel LaPaine has quickly made an indelible mark as one of Hollywood's hottest rising stars. Daniel first turned heads as David Van Arckle in Muriel's Wedding in 1994 and again in 1998 as Ziggy Pzoniak in Polish Wedding with Claire Danes. Daniel next took a role in Dangerous Beauty, which proved to be a springboard for the young star. He completed 54 in the same year. Lapaine studied with the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney and his theater credits include starring roles in the Sydney Theatre Company's productions of Indiscretions and King Lear, as well as the Bell Shakespeare Company's productions of Romeo and Juliet, Richard III and Hamlet. 1999 proved to be the busiest year yet for Daniel as he completed work on four films, including two of the years biggest hits. He played Josh in Say You'll Be Mine and appeared as Will in the film Elephant Juice. He also appeared in one of the box office smashes of the year, Double Jeopardy, and played Nick Parks in Brokedown Palace, which reunited him with co-star Claire Danes.

Dianne Wiest is no stranger to magic—she played Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman's sweet and gentle Aunt Jet in 1997's Practical Magic, opposite Stockard Channing. Dianne Wiest originally hails from Kansas City, Missouri and got her professional start with the American Shakespeare Company. She made her professional television debut in a PBS Great Performances presentation of the Arena Theater’s production of Elie Wiesel’s Zalemen or the Magic of God. Other notable television appearances include the television presentations of Out of Our Father’s House, The Wall and Drunks, and the television series Avonlea, for which she received an Emmy for Outstanding guest Actress in a Drama Series. The oldest child, and only daughter, of an army pilot and a nurse, Dianne was moved around a great deal in her youth due to her father's military career. At sixteen, she abandoned the study of ballet in favor of the theater. Having begun her acting career by touring with the American Shakespeare Company, she won the Obie, Clarence Derwent and Theater World Awards for Best Actress for her performance in the off-Broadway play The Art of Dining. It's My Turn (1980) marked her feature film debut, and was followed by I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can and the surprise hit Footloose in 1984. But it was 1985's The Purple Rose of Cairo that earned her wide exposure and kicked off an incredibly rich string of indelible performances in five Woody Allen films, two of which earned her Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress. Wiest's film credits include Academy Award winning performances in Hannah and her Sisters and Bullets Over Broadway, as well as critically acclaimed in Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer, Mike Nichols' The Birdcage, Jodie Foster's Little Man Tate, Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands, Ron Howard's Parenthood, Cookie and The Lost Boys.
