Ed Aristone

Ed has trained at Playhouse West in Los Angeles and Philadelphia for many years. Along with past cast members James Franco and Ashley Judd, he appeared on both coasts in what is the nation's longest-running play, "Welcome Home Soldier", a tribute play to Vietnam Veterans. With a passion for smaller, independent film making, Ed has played lead and supporting roles in numerous projects including Turning Point with Ernie Hudson and Joe Estevez and Fear, Love, and Agoraphobia with Lori Petty and numerous shorts. Ed also produced several films including RED starring Jim Parrick and just directed his first film, a short entitled Password. Ed believes strongly in thoroughly researching each role and is an advocate of the rehearsal process. For his appearance in Welcome Home, playing an Iraqi war veteran, he traveled to a place called Flatworld, part of a USC research facility where virtual reality headsets are being used to heal soldiers with PTSD syndrome. The VR headsets recreate real time, war like conditions during therapy sessions. An article in New Yorker magazine was written about his experience. Ed has played several military roles in independent films and because of this experience became involved in organizations supporting those serving including Soldier's Angels. One of his favorite quotes by Sanford Meisner about acting is: "Being an actor was never supposed to be about fame and money. Being an actor is a religious calling because you've been given the ability, the gift, to inspire humanity." Originally from New Jersey, Ed is from a family of six children. His volunteer efforts include teaching adults with mental and physical challenges, helping the homeless, and is the sponsor of a child from the Ngoenga School for Tibetan Handicapped Children in India. Ed enjoys working with passion minded individuals who understand one's ego should be "left at the door" when stepping on set to engage in a collaborative process.

Ed Begley

Charismatic character star Edward James Begley was born in Hartford, Connecticut of Irish parents and educated at St.Patrick's school. His interest in acting first surfaced at the age of nine, when he performed amateur theatricals at the Hartford Globe Theatre. Determined to make his own way, he left home aged eleven and drifted from job to job, had a four-year stint in the U.S. Navy, then worked in a bowling alley replacing pins, joined carnivals and circuses. In 1931, he appeared in vaudeville and was also hired as a radio announcer, his voice broadcast to nationwide audiences. It took him several years to establish himself on the legitimate stage, but in 1943, he had a role in the short-running play 'Land of Fame'. His first success was the 1947 Arthur Miller play 'All My Sons' and this was followed by the 1925 Scopes Trial fictionalization 'Inherit the Wind' (1955-57), which ran for 806 performances at the National Theatre. Ed, co-starring with Paul Muni, played the part of Matthew Harrison Brady (played in the 1960 motion picture by Fredric March) and won the 1956 Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play. Upon Paul Muni's departure from the cast, Ed used the opportunity to play the part of Henry Drummond (Spencer Tracy's role in the film) with equal vigor. In 1960, he starred as Senator Orrin Knox in the political drama 'Advise and Consent'. Ed's movie career began with Boomerang! (1947), a murder mystery set in his native Connecticut, directed by Elia Kazan. Heavy-set with bushy eyebrows, the archetypal image of Ed Begley on screen is as a gruff, blustery, often heavily sweating (and sometimes corrupt) politician or industrialist. He proved his mettle in a number of classic films, including Sorry, Wrong Number (1948) and On Dangerous Ground (1951). Whether as the sympathetic executive in Patterns (1956), a bigoted ex-cop turned bank robber in Odds Against Tomorrow (1959), or the crazed billionaire bent on world domination of Billion Dollar Brain (1967), he tackled every part that came his way with conviction. The culmination of his work was a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his role of Boss Finley in Tennessee Williams's Sweet Bird of Youth (1962). In addition to countless radio broadcasts, Ed was also busy in television in the 1950s and '60s. Among frequent guest-starring appearances, his dynamic characterizations in two episodes of The Invaders (1967) ('The Betrayed' and 'Labyrinth') in particular stand out. Ed Begley died of a heart attack in April 1970 in Hollywood at the age of 69.
