From an early age, Collins was encouraged to pursue his artistic talents by his actor-grandfather who allowed him the opportunity to surround himself in the acting community.

Lainie Kazan, who many loved from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," guests stints on "The Nanny," and now on "Desperate Housewives," makes an appearance on BuzzWorthy Radio!

Lainie made her Broadway debut in The Happiest Girl in the World in 1961 followed by Bravo Giovanni (1962). She served as understudy to Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl, finally getting to go on 18 months into the run when the star was felled by a serious throat problem. Coincidentally, both had attended the same high school, Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, New York. Kazan's mother alerted the press and, encouraged by rave reviews for her performance, she quit the show and set out to establish herself in a singing career.

As her popularity increased, Kazan posed nude for a spread in the October 1970 issue of Playboy, which was reused in Pocket Playboy #4, issued in 1974. Her appearance in the magazine opened the door for her to headline and operate two different Playboy Jazz Clubs, both under Hugh Hefner's overview, which she called Lainie's Lounge East and West on opposite coasts, one in Los Angeles and the other in Manhattan. Her Playboy photographs also inspired the look of Jack Kirby's DC Comics superheroine Big Barda.

Kazan appeared in numerous supper clubs across the country, and she guested on Dean Martin's variety series 26 times. Other television work includes a recurring role as Aunt Freida on the Fran Drescher sitcom The Nanny and as Kirstie Alley's mother on Veronica's Closet, and guest shots on St. Elsewhere (resulting in an Emmy nomination), The Paper Chase, Touched by an Angel, and Will & Grace. She was also featured in My Big Fat Greek Life, a short-lived series based on the Nia Vardalos hit film My Big Fat Greek Wedding, in which she had also starred alongside Vardalos. She appeared in a scene as the mother of Adam Sandler's character in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, but it was deleted in the feature film. It is, however, included in the special features on disc.

Scott Adsit plays producer Pete Hornberger on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning “30 Rock,” a workplace comedy where the workplace exists behind-the-scenes of a live variety show.

His feature credits include the Christopher Guest comedy “For Your Consideration,” and he has starred in “The Bad News Bears,” “Kicking and Screaming,” “The Terminal,” “The Italian Job” and the critically praised indie film “Lovely and Amazing.”

Adsit, along with the “30 Rock” cast, received an Emmy Award in 2007 and 2008 for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Michael Sutton reprises his Daytime Emmy-nominated role as Stone on ABC Daytime's

"General Hospital."

Michael Sutton was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 1996 for his role as Stone on “General Hospital.” Sutton’s portrayal of Stone was part of a groundbreaking storyline in the 1990’s about he and his girlfriend Robin (played by Kimberly McCollough), both stricken with HIV. This was one of the first times TV explored this topic and the first time a TV series explored the disease with a heterosexual couple. Stone eventually died, but Robin moved on and has lived a full life ever since, becoming a doctor, wife and mother. The current storyline involves Robin struggling with news that her husband Patrick cheated on her. She hallucinates and sees her first love, Stone, for the first time since his death. For over 15 years Michael Sutton has promoted the hottest clubs, thrown the best weekly parties, special events, private membership communities and opened some of Los Angeles’ most talked about restaurants, including Xenii, Goa, and The Lodge Steakhouse.

Lisa Vidal stars as Christina Martinez, the supportive wife of President Elias Martinez (Blair Underwood), in NBC’s new high-octane conspiracy thriller “The Event.”

Vidal, an award-winning actress, is no newcomer to the challenging, multi-layered roles she’s been successfully portraying. She is most recognized for her regular roles on popular hit primetime series such as “Boston Legal,” “CSI Miami,” “The Division,” “ER,” “Third Watch” and “Southland.”

A strikingly beautiful and seasoned actress of Puerto Rican descent, Vidal is a New York City native who began acting in Repertory Theater at age 14 and was cast the following year in the PBS series “Oye Willie,” thereby jump-starting a long and varied acting career, in which she has most often played grounded professionals balancing work and family.

Vidal then went on to play the charming housekeeper for a good-natured elderly heiress, played by Loretta Young, in the holiday TV movie "Christmas Eve." The busy actress continued on such popular series as "The Cosby Show" and "Miami Vice." Determined to take roles that reflect and emphasize the diversity of the Latino community, Vidal acted in two "ABC After School Special" educational presentations: "Class Act: A Teacher's Story" and "In the Shadow of Love: A Teen AIDS Story."

Vidal later recurred in the series "New York Undercover," as she played the sister of Michael DeLorenzo's New York City police detective, which widened her audience growth. Vidal was soon cast as cocky Jessica Helgado in the critically lauded police drama "High Incident," a Steven Spielberg production, and on the sitcom "The Brian Benben Show.”
