Elizondo’s many film credits include Pretty Woman and The Princess Diaries; he was also a regular on the CBS series Chicago Hope. His Broadway credits include The Price, The Prisoner of Second Avenue, and Sly Fox. Foxworth appeared in the Roundabout’s Twelve Angry Men and was recently seen on the L.A. stage in Honour opposite his Falcon Crest co-star Susan Sullivan. Kilner has been seen on the New York stage in The Glass Menagerie and Dinner With Friends, and recently appeared on TV in One Tree Hill. Kind starred on Broadway in The Producers and co-starred in the hit TV series Spin City and Mad About You.
