Matthew Dickens is a Writer, Producer and Director.
He began training at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C as a Theatre major but was always cast in musicals. He took a handful of dance classes, studied a musical instrument and took vocal music classes. His innate ability to multi-task with his talent was apparent. After graduation he joined a theater company as a young actor at Karamu House in Cleveland, Ohio but his passion quickly drew him to New York where he started auditioning for Broadway shows. Learning fast how to hone his skills as a triple threat, he trained heavily in New York with voice lessons, acting classes and several dance classes daily. In a short amount of time he landed a guest dancer spot on Fame with Debbie Allen filmed at MGM Studios in Culver City. Spending time on this historical movie lot, he fell in love with dance, movies and the camera. He spent time with Allen wearing many hats on the Academy Awards, Disney's Polly, Quantum Leap and A Different World.
He continued auditioning in LA and landed a role in his first Broadway show, the international tour of Dreamgirls which returned to New York as the Broadway Revival company. Musicals kept him busy. He earned a series of back to back bookings in Stephen King's Carrie, Miss Saigon, Smokey Joe's Cafe and the original company Sunset Boulevard starring Glenn Close. He was later cast in the Dutch version of Miss Saigon and traveled to Amsterdam. While in Europe he was able to follow his passion to direct creating original productions with the Dutch Air Force Orchestra. His talent was quickly discovered in Holland and he was hired to Direct and Choreograph the opening ceremony of Gay Games Amsterdam, Euro 2000 and segments of The National Wedding Event of Prince Willem & Maxima for national television.
Throughout these years, his passion for movies grew stronger and he eventually moved back to Hollywood where he reunited with Debbie Allen as Associate Director and Choreographer for productions of Sammy, the Musical and A Very Mancini Christmas. He was cast as an Actor/Dancer in Brad Martin's Sledge starring stunt and fight choreographer David Leitch. This brought him back to the world of camera and dance. From there he began to seek out his passion for movies again. Music Supervisor Randall Poster brought him on board as choreographer on The Aviator directed by Martin Scorcese. He worked as a principal dancer in Their Eyes Were Watching God starring Halle Berry and was hired for seven months as skeleton crew and principal dancer in Rent with choreographer Keith Young and directed by Chris Columbus. The following year he was cast as a principal in Dreamgirls directed by Bill Condon.

Alasdair Milne worked at the BBC for 34 years and rose through the ranks to achieve the top job as Director-General.
He was educated at Winchester College and Oxford University. He joined the BBC as a general trainee and worked on the current affairs series Tonight (1957), the groundbreaking satire That Was the Week That Was (1962) and The Great War (1964). He later became Controller of BBC Scotland and in the 1970s he served as BBC Director of Programmes and Managing Director of BBC Television. During this period he banned the controversial Dennis Potter play Brimstone and Treacle (1976) and oversaw the acclaimed Shakespeare productions on BBC Two.
In 1982 he replaced Ian Trethowan as Director-General of the BBC. Milne's tenure lasted for five difficult years which saw the BBC under increasing pressure from Margaret Thatcher's government over programmes such as the Nationwide (1969) general election special with the prime minister in 1983, in which she was questioned by a member of the public over the sinking of the General Belgrano in the Falklands War, the libel action brought by Conservative MPs regarding the Panorama (1953) episode "Maggie's Militant Tendency", broadcast in 1984, the Real Lives interview with Martin McGuinness in 1985, the BBC's coverage of the United States' bombing of Libya and the Secret Society programme about the Zircon spy satellite. In January 1987, Milne was forced to resign by the BBC's Board of Governors, which brought an unhappy end to a long career at the BBC.- Watson Parker was born in 1924 in the USA.
