Marco Dapper
Marco Dapper, born July 9, 1983, in Hayward, California, is an American actor.
Dapper has recently landed the role of Troy in the movie Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds (sequel to Allan Brocka’s Eating Out), about a gay guy who’s just broken up with his “outta my league” boyfriend and is pursuing sexy, sexually confused artist’s model Troy by pretending to be an ex-gay.
Dapper was first discovered by scouts for NBC and appearing on Meet My Folks. He didn’t really get into acting until high school.
Prior to getting the role, Dapper was a UPS driver and was also going to a junior college at the same time doing theatre and some plays. Acting is what he always wanted to do, but he just never took it seriously. His family are all laborers, so he thought it just wasn’t in the cards for him.
Not so long ago, Dapper used to think all gays are always hitting on him.
“I guess you could call me a homophobe back then,” Marco remembers of the time not so long ago when he arrived in L.A. “I was the kinda guy who if a gay guy came and talked to me I’d be like, ‘What is he doing? Is he hitting on me?’ It was fear of the unknown. This movie was like a whole 180. I just realized, ‘Not all of them are hitting on me.’”
“Now my whole perspective is just totally changed. I’m more easy-going now. It’s the kind of thing where I think most guys like me need to go through something like that where there’s a bunch of people, a crew, and you can talk to them and hear stories and you realize…we’re not really that different. It’s an experience every guy, especially if you don’t have any homosexual friends, should go through.”
Dapper loves to cook and work out at the gym. He’s also into music. He listens to Rock, Reggae and Rap.

Takeshi Kaneshiro
Takeshi Kaneshiro (Japanese and Chinese: 金城武, Hepburn: Kaneshiro Takeshi), is a male actor and model.
He was born on October 11, 1973, in Taiwan of Japanese and Taiwanese parents. This unique background led to Kaneshiro being fluent in several languages, namely Mandarin, Japanese, Cantonese, Taiwanese, and English. Kaneshiro spent his childhood in Taiwan. His mixed background caused problems for him, and he was bullied at school by his fellow students. He had problems fitting in, and felt like an outsider both at his Japanese school and in his Taiwanese neighbourhood. For this reason he later moved to the Taipei American School. Kaneshiro started his rise to stardom by making commercials during his school years, and at the age of fifteen was given the opportunity to be a pop star by a Taipei A&R company. In 1992, he launched a successful singing career in both Mandarin and Cantonese. As is traditional with Asian pop stars, Kaneshiro was offered roles in films, his first being in Taiwanese comedies. When given the chance, he eschewed the usual pop fodder in favor of quirky character parts. Internationally-acclaimed director Wong Kar-Wai worked with Kaneshiro on Chungking Express (1994) and Fallen Angels (1995), and speaks highly of his depth and versatility. Kaneshiro’s screen idol looks belie his talents; reportedly, Wong and Kaneshiro collaborated on ideas for some scenes, and Kaneshiro’s role in Fallen Angels as a son missing his father is perhaps one of the best and most loved in Wong Kar-Wai’s oeuvre. Another notable role of Kaneshiro’s was in Lee Chi-Ngai’s Lost and Found (1996), opposite Kelly Chen and Michael Wong. Kaneshiro’s humorous, but deeplly felt turn as a finder of lost items was the centerpiece of this touching film. After a sucessful run of films in Hong Kong, Kaneshiro was spotted by a Japanese TV producer who gave him a role in the unusual miniseries, God Please Give Me More Time (1998), about a musician who falls in love with an HIV-positive young girl. The controversial show was a huge success in Japan and sparked his Japanese film career. His subsequent Japanese films, Sleepless Town (1998) and Space Travelers (2000), continued to boost his profile in the territory. Kaneshiro also returned to Hong Kong for the hit romantic film Tempting Heart (1999), opposite Gigi Leung, and the romantic fantasy Lavender (2000), again with Kelly Chen. Most recently, Kaneshiro starred in the 2002 Japanese box office smash The Returner, and worked opposite Gigi Leung again in the Hong Kong hit Turn Left, Turn Right (2003). Kaneshiro has also found success as an international print model for the designer label Prada, and appears extensively in advertisements all over Asia. (JamesPercy 2004)
