JOYA MIA ITALIANO (MEG RYAN)
Joya Mia Italiano grew up in Littleton, Colorado, then got the h-e-double-hockey-sticks outta there upon graduating high school. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a concentration in theater (Sarah Lawrence doesn't have majors because its SUPER anti-establishment). She had the opportunity to study physical theater, Commedia Dell’arte, and clowning in Arezzo, Italy. After graduating, she worked to live in peanut shells all across New York City, which is pretty legit. She appeared in numerous 'meta' productions, and joined her first performance family as a member of the sketch group, STuFF, writing and producing comedy shorts. She had the crazy opportunity to relocate to Los Angeles in 2012 to star as John Connor in Terminator Too: Judgement Play, thus joining the PBL family. She's stoked to keep the party going with Tom Gun Live! When not clowning with her friends, Joya writes, hustles, and waxes philosophical - check out her podcast, 'No, But That's a Thing!' on iTunes - where two comedian goons talk about the real-life stuff depicted in Sci-Fi movies. www.joyamiaitaliano.com

MITCH EAKINS (GOOSE)
Returns to the stage yet remains forever obscure. Hiding again inside the off beat characters he so often dives in and out of. After years of being beat up and questioned by cops on TV, and dumbing down and doping up in over 20 films, Mitch has decided to embrace what he does best...making an ass of himself. In the process Eakins has become an all around creative on every side of production. His passion for being involved in every aspect of his projects from writing and producing, to acting and animal wrangling, is no doubt a result of crippling ADD. Please help support him so his family can one day admit they know him again.

EVAN FERRANTE (NOT TOM CRUISE)
Known throughout the world as the leading Tom Cruise impersonator, Evan Ferrante has traveled the globe impersonating Cruise (London, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada) and has appeared in a host of commercials, films, and corporate events as the iconic movie star, working with Disney, FX, Maker Studios, DirectTV, Channel 4 Television and many other companies seeking to harness the unparalleled energy of Cruise. Evan recently made an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, performing the famous courtroom drama scene from A Few Good Men. Ferrante received the biggest praise of all on EXTRA from Tom Cruise himself, who said “His voice is uncanny,” while laughing maniacally. Evan first discovered he had the unique ability to impersonate Cruise back when his college roommate, Alex, at Boston University, pointed out the eery similarities, notably the voice and mannerisms. He strongly encouraged Evan to capitalize on this newfound talent. Jerry Maguire had just been released that same year, so there was a lot of new material to work with. Evan and Alex, who did an impressive Jean Claude Van Damme impersonation, knocked on female dorm rooms and performed their routine, hoping to gain entry. It worked 70% of the time and the rest is history. Evan would very much like to thank Tom Cruise for opening up his life to new, exciting, and surreal possibilities.
