Cindy Drummond photo

Cindy Drummond

Cindy Drummond spent the first 35 years of her life avoiding becoming an entertainer. After dropping in and out of college, waiting tables, tending bar, managing restaurants and working retail, all on her feet, Cindy found herself with a bad case of plantar fasciitis and an equally bad case of wanderlust. So, she finally packed up her custom orthotics and her hopes and dreams, and moved to Los Angeles, where she quickly got a job...waiting tables. But luckily for Cindy, the difference between waiting tables in Alexandria, Virginia, and waiting tables in Los Angeles, is that in L.A., all the other servers are actors, writers and comics. She had finally found her tribe. Cindy first tried her hand at stand-up comedy. She performed at the big clubs like The Improv, The Comedy Store and The Laugh Factory as well as alternative clubs like the late great Luna Park. She even got fired from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, a badge of honor for alternative comics like Cindy, who utilize storytelling and improvisation rather than the classic set-up punch. The stand up soon led to acting. You might recognize her as the GEICO "Spy Mom," a recurring role since 2015. Cindy's years as a stand-up sharpened the improvisational skills she used to help mold the character of "Spy Mom" in collaboration with the director Wayne McClammy and the copy writers and ad execs from The Martin Agency. One of Cindy's favorite parts of her career is the act of collaboration. A senior copy writer said of her, "She's a better writer than I am. She kept giving us so much fun material. It would have been a shame to leave that all behind on a hard drive somewhere." The "Spy Mom" character went on to be voted one of the top 5 GEICO commercials of all time in a Best of GEICO nationwide contest. And much to the delight of Cindy's parents, "Cindy Drummond" has twice been the answer to the question on JEOPARDY. Cindy also enjoys working in film and television. She can be seen as a recurring guest star on the CBS prime time comedy "The Unicorn." And in one of her proudest and most satisfying roles to date, she appeared as Lottie Beth Hobbs alongside Cate Blanchette in the multi-Emmy nominated historical limited series, "Mrs. America," on FX on Hulu. When Cindy is not working, she gives her time to a small non-profit all-volunteer-run animal rescue in Los Angeles called LA Animal Rescue, she is a Board Member and volunteer. She says the animals keep her grateful, grounded and sane.

Stefan Duscio photo

Stefan Duscio

Cinematographer · Known for Jungle, Tenzing

The work of Australian cinematographer Stefan Duscio (b. 1981) is characterised by fluid camera movements and a masterful use of light. His authentic and innovative approach to cinematic naturalism has made him a highly regarded collaborator of directors Robert Connolly, Leigh Whannell, JD Dillard, and Mirrah Foulkes, with whom he has pushed the art of visual storytelling. This year, Duscio won the Gold Tripod for Best Cinematography in a feature film for The Dry and the prestigious Milli Award for the ACS Australian Cinematographer of the Year, the highest award an Australian cinematographer can receive. The journey to adapt Jane Harper’s international bestseller The Dry was led by prolific Australian producer Bruna Papandrea (best known for Big Little Lies) and director Robert Connolly. Duscio grew up in rural Australia and developed an early interest in photography and visual storytelling, studying Media Arts at RMIT University in Melbourne. A chance encounter with the late Oscar-winning cinematographer Andrew Lesnie in a cinema foyer landed him his first job in the camera department for the Lord of the Rings trilogy in New Zealand. Lesnie’s ability to use natural light to create both grandeur and intimacy for Peter Jackson’s vision made a lasting impact. His first jobs in the Australian film industry as a camera assistant saw him working with young directors and cinematographers, including Greig Fraser, Germain McMicking, and peers Ari Wegner and Adam Arkapaw. In the narrative realm, Duscio had the opportunity to connect with young filmmaker Aaron Wilson to shoot the wartime drama Canopy in Singapore. He followed this with Galore, the debut feature film by Rhys Graham, which earned him his first Gold Award at the ACS Awards for Best Cinematography. This started him on a string of films with Angus Sampson’s The Mule, which premiered at South by Southwest in Austin in 2014, followed by Backtrack alongside director Michael Petroni, starring Adrian Brody, Greg McLean’s Jungle, and Leigh Whannell’s cult hit Upgrade. From there, he returned to independent work with Mirrah Foulkes’ Judy and Punch, nominated for a Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival (2019), and then launched into Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man (2020), a science fiction thriller based on a novel by HG Wells starring Elizabeth Moss, for which he won the Australian Academy of Cinematography Award. The Invisible Man was the number one film at the worldwide box office in 2022 for two weeks. Despite the pandemic challenges imposed on the film industry, he displayed organisational aplomb, directing the photography for the new highly anticipated Apple TV+ series Shantaram. Produced by Paramount and Anonymous, run by executive producer Steve Lightfoot and director Bharat Nalluri, Duscio rose to the challenge of marshalling multiple large-scale units across Melbourne, Bangkok, and Mumbai in 2021-2022. The 12-episode adaptation of Gregory David Roberts’ novel Shantaram is due to be released on October 14. Duscio has shot hundreds of commercials and music videos, including two music videos for Beyoncé’s self-titled visual album, Mine and Ghost. Information above via their homepage.

George South

American professional wrestler. In the course of his career, South has wrestled for professional wrestling promotions such as Jim Crockett Promotions, World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Entertainment. South started wrestling in 1985 in the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP). He was used as enhancement talent but he always got in some offense and was very good at getting heel heat with the fans. He was also Ric Flair's favorite journeyman to wrestle as Flair considered him a great worker. South also worked with Gary Royal in the masked jobber tag teams the Cruel Connection, Mexican Twin Devils and the Gladiators. As the Gladiators, South and Royal jobbed for Bill and Randy Mulkey giving the perennial jobber tag team their only televised win on World Championship Wrestling. South wrestled in Georgia Championship Wrestling and captured his NWA Georgia Junior Heavyweight Championship in 1986 in between stops for JCP. For a brief time, South also wrestled as a preliminary wrestler in World Wrestling Federation in the late 1980s. South was the top heel in the Pro Wrestling Federation that ran from 1992 until 1999 in the Carolinas. He mainly feuded with his arch-rival, The Italian Stallion, who promoted the company with some help from South. In the 1990s, South worked as enhancement talent for World Championship Wrestling. South is a born-again Christian and says one of his biggest thrills was passing a Christian tract to Hulk Hogan in WCW who told him he needed it. In 1999 three full-color cartoon tracts were produced for South entitled The Greatest Match Ever, Who is Your Tag-Team Partner?, and Who Are You Wrestling Against?, illustrated by comics artist Steven Butler, packaged by The Nate Butler Studio, and published by PowerMark Productions. South in 2011 When the PWF closed in 1999, South opened his own promotion called the Exodus Wrestling Alliance. He still runs shows as of 2005 in the Mid-Atlantic area and participates in Christianity/wrestling shows with Nikita Koloff and Ted DiBiase. One of his gimmicks is the fact that he gets heel heat from the fans by sticking his tongue out at them and taunting them about how he is manhandling their hero in the ring. He is proud of the fact that he does not have to get crude, use profanity, or become vulgar to get heel heat. An important part of South's modern day matches are moves and performances intended to pay tribute to the great wrestling stars of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, including Wahoo McDaniel, Blackjack Mulligan, Brute Bernard, Two Ton Harris, Paul Jones, Ricky Steamboat, Tully Blanchard, the Anderson Brothers, and others. South's most significant recent match was against Brad Armstrong in Spartanburg, SC, at the Wrestling Night of Legends II. In 2013, South participated in the Brad Armstrong Memorial Event, in a tag-team match alongside Bob Orton Jr. against Tim Horner and Tom Prichard. During the match, Orton and South didn't get along too well to the point South tried to sucker-punch Orton, Orton would later enter the ring and superplex South, letting Horner pin South while Orton was walking down the ramp. South trains up and comers at the Rings wrestling training facility in Charlotte, North Carolina on Tuesdays. His son, George South Jr., is also now a wrestler.

In addition to hockey, Bedard trained as a bodybuilder and a boxer, but decided to try out wrestling after another boxer warned him he’d be "punch-drunk" by the time he was 25. Goulet began his career in Quebec City, Quebec, in 1957, with his first match being against Gerard Dugas. Bedard adopted his ring name Rene Goulet when he began working in Verne Gagne and Wally Karbo’s Minneapolis territory.

Goulet worked briefly in Germany in the early ’70s, with promoters deciding to name him Buddy Rogers, Jr. He was in the first WWF match ever televised on the USA Network, with his opponent being Tito Santana.
