Vincent Peone's spirit animal is the Lemur.

Derived from the Latin word lemures, meaning "spirits of the night" or "ghosts". This likely refers to their large, reflective eyes and the wailing cries of some species (the Indri in particular). Unlike most other primates, lemur species that live in groups have a matriarchal society (i.e., females are dominant over males). Most lemur species are arboreal and traverse the canopy by vertical clinging and leaping or quadrupedalism.

Vincent also enjoys filmmaking.

Creighton grew up with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben in Queens for most of his life. Though once destined for a life of science, a field trip in High School changed his life. There he was bitten by a radioactive spider which gave him super strength, speed and agility. Moonlighting as a superhero he took up a life in photography during the day. It was this point where he fell in love with cameras. He got involved in short films as an Assistant Camera Operator and then started dabbling in television. It was his extensive work in television that lead him to the producers of Graduates. Though he someday hopes to become a Director of Photography he enjoys current employment at College Humor as an Assistant Camera Operator. You can see some of the things he has worked online and some of the battles with his nemesis on the evening news.

Who is Steven LaChioma? Steven is a man, an actor, and a lover. Steven was born in gorgeous Bridgeport, Connecticut, but grew up in tropical Newburgh, New York. He studied theater at Hofstra University before transferring to SUNY New Paltz because Hofstra is really freakin expensive. He graduated New Paltz with a Bachelor’s in Performance which means he can’t get a good job in the real world. He now resides in Manhattan where he works semi-consistently as an actor. He has worked Off-Broadway, in film, as well as the internet. You may have seen Steven in the internet sensation We Need Girlfriends or The Cosby Show as Bill Cosby’s wacky white son. He recently studied at The Strasberg Theater Institute and is now under the tutelage of Nick Nolte where he is learning how to be REALLY angry. All joking aside, Steven is a very serious, committed, hard working actor who is grateful for the opportunity to work with an amazingly talented cast and crew on Graduates. He is truly blessed to have God, a loving family, loyal friends, and a beautiful woman in his life.

Jo would also like to remind people that Mr. Josh Ruben (aka John Corkery) does not have a girlfriend (wink wink ladies).

Like many stars before him, Daniel's childhood was not an easy one. With his father being successful and his mother being so caring; Daniel had no where to turn...That is until he found a friend in Twinkie the Kid. Daniel and Twinkie where a match made in heaven. So much so, that the man known as America's Conscience; Maury Povitch, dedicated an entire show to Daniel...who was at the time a 207 lbs. toddler who took shits the size of a golden reteriver in his diper. Due to the show Daniel had over 3 minutes of fame at a strip mall by his house, but then like before his world was silent. That was until Maury's wife Connie saw something in Daniel.... And through Susan Power tapes and a few Tony Robbins's lectures..she turned Daniel into the man you see before you. A man who lives the ultimite juxtapostion in life; a person who is cheesy yet hungry.

FYI- The picture attached was taken by Connie during her unsuccessful attempt of turning Daniel into the next Adult Entertainment Star.
