Actor Tim Matheson may be best known for his turn as Eric “Otter” Stratton in the 1978 comedy National Lampoon’s Animal House, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. His career, which spans decades, has taken him from working with Lucille Ball and voicing Johnny Quest in the 1964 animated series, to playing the villain in Fletch and (of course) portraying Vice President John Hoynes in the drama series The West Wing. The latter role earned him two Emmy nominations. Matheson has also enjoyed considerable success as a TV director.

Filmmaker Laurent Bouzereau keeps himself incredibly busy. This year alone has seen the release of his documentary films Faye, about actress Faye Dunaway, and Becoming Hitchcock - The Legacy of Blackmail.

Williams, a five-time Oscar-winner, has scored some seriously iconic films including Jaws, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
