Phong Tran - Phong Tran comes from the small town of Tri-Cities, Washington, where he spent the first 19 years of his life. Yearning for more creative outlets, he made the move to Seattle, Washington, where he found his way to Highline Community College and the theatre program they offered there. He was cast as Buel (his acting debut) for the school's production of 'Blue Collar Blues', and immediately knew that acting was the journey he'd been longing for.

Phong moved to West Hollywood in the winter of 2004 to further pursue his career, and has been since working consistently. His last project was a pilot shot for FOX Studios called 'BEYOND', directed by Breck Eisner (SAHARA), and produced by Brian Grazer (CINDERELLA MAN), and is due to air in the fall. Currently, Phong is working on a feature called 'LOANER', directed and produced by Jason Schmid of Blue Apples Media.

	Dale Bradrick - I earn my room and board as an engineer. It can be a very creative vocation, however, it often becomes a merely administrative job. That’s the reason that I was attracted to acting. Very scary stuff for a guy who usually doesn’t talk to strangers! Or at least didn’t used to. My wife often wonders what happened to that quiet guy. But most of the time, she likes the change. Sometimes she can’t get a word in edgewise. I started my acting training just 3 years before “Chains” was filmed (or more accurately, video-taped, but that’s just the engineer getting technical again). I’ve spent time in various acting workshops in Seattle and LA and continue to be challenged in ways that are wonderfully uncomfortable. “Why pursue acting if it is so uncomfortable?” you may ask. For the same reason people pay good money to let others scare them to death. Like roller coasters and scary movies. Acting can be nerve wracking, but it is satisfying when you hit a home run.I continue to be actively pursuing student films and an occasional commercial that pays actual money. Yes, I’m working on getting into that major film, but it will take time. Hopefully short.

	Kevin Gilbert - Kevin Gilbert was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and moved to the Northwest when he was three years old. He was raised in Bothell, Washington and after graduating High School, Kevin joined the United States Marine Corps and served as an infantry Marine for four years. Kevin has always really enjoyed movies and had always wanted to get involved with making movies. In 2002, Kevin responded to an 'Actors Wanted' add on one of the local callboards. After getting a small role in a local independent feature, he was hooked. Kevin has since done 11 films, doing parts ranging from the lead to an extra in features and shorts, including 'Chains' and Greg and Tolga's first short, 'Your Birthday Too'. Keep your eyes peeled as Kevin may just be the next big thing!
	Brittany Jamieson - Brittany made her film debut as Casey in "Chains". Primarily a stage actress, she has most recently been seen singing and dancing as the Siamese cat in "Cats"(Village Theatre), Lois/Bianca in "Kiss Me, Kate"(CLO), Susan in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"(Seattle Children's Theatre), and in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (5th Avenue). She's been dancing since age 3, but lately has been exploring other aspects of the performing arts and film industries, such as modeling and movies, as well as branching out as a dance teacher at several local studios. Brittany also holds a degree in zoology and pre-physical therapy, both of which come in handy while teaching 3 year olds how to tap dance!
	Megan Johnston - Megan Johnston is a life-long Tacoma native and has been a performer since early childhood. She began studying all forms of dance at five and by age nine became one of the first members of Showstoppers Dance Company, which afforded her the opportunity to perform and compete all over Washington state. She performed in the Christmas classic "The Nutcracker" for five years, twice playing the role of the Toy Soldier. She was also a dancer and choreographer for Underground Dance Company, a hip-hop dance group based at Stadium High School, formed and run both figuratively and literally "underground". Megan stayed with Showstoppers and Underground until she was sixteen, when a broken foot sidelined her from the spotlight. Ready to try something new, Megan started heading out on acting auditions for stage productions and independent films in Seattle. Now, at eighteen, she has had parts in four independent films: "The Graffiti Artist" (recently accepted into the Berlin International Film Festival), "The Shoe", "Cowboy Up" (still in production), and now "Chains". She also played Polly in the Island Players' staged reading of Neil Simon's "The Gingerbread Lady." She currently has two more film projects coming up and resides in the Browns Point area of Tacoma with her parents and her dog Mousse, a chocolate labrador.
