Birthday: December 19; Sagittarius.
Hometown: Philadelphia
Family ties: Her cousin Gwyneth Paltrow won a Oscar for playing a girl disguised as a boy in Shakespeare in Love.
The early years: "I was a tomboy growing up.  All my friends were guys, and I'd get mad in the summer when they could take their shirts off but I couldn't."
Thoughts on love: "Honesty is important.  If someone isn't honest, you wonder what you did wrong.  You think, I'm not good enough."

Rodney Scott

He plays: Will Krudski, a whip-smart local boy desperate to flee an abusive, alcoholic father.  To ensure he'll be accepted to Rawley, he cheats on the entrance exam.
Birthday: February 17; Aquarius.
Hometown: Ocean City, MD.
Favorite pastime: Reading biographies (he's gone through more than 100).
Thoughts on love: "If you're not going to trust someone, don't get into a relationship.  It's pointless.  Trust is something I've really had to work on."

He plays: Scout Calhoun, a confident kid from the right side of the tracks who falls for the one person he can't have.
Birthday: September 26; Libra
Hometown: Clinton, CT
Secret talent: Writing screenplays (he's completed several).  "Most people do other things so they can pay bills and act.  I act so that I can write screenplays."
Thoughts on love: "Distance has been a recurring problem for me.  It's not out of sight, out of mind, but if you don't see each other enough, you start living separate lives."
