Octavia Spencer flew under the radar as an actress for several years, playing small but often memorable roles in a number of films.
Variety writes that Spencer actually began acting by working with a casting department in her home state of Alabama, eventually working up the experience and connections to start getting auditions.
Spencer moved to Hollywood in 1996 and continued to steal scenes in a number of films. After winning an Academy Award in 2012 for
The Help (and being nominated for a couple of others within five more years), Spencer quickly evolved into one of the most in-demand actresses in the game. Whether she s doing comedy, drama or somewhere in between, you know you re going to get something unique and impressive whenever you see her onscreen.
BIOGRAPHY
Regarded as one of the founders of funk, soul, and hip-hop, James Brown earned many nicknames. He’s “The Godfather of Soul,” “The Original Disco Man,” and “Mr. Dynamite.” You may also know him as “Soul Brother Number One” and “The Hardest-Working Man in Show Business.”
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Born May 3, 1933 in Barnwell, South Carolina, Brown grew up in the segregated South during the Great Depression. He was raised in Augusta, Georgia by his Aunt Honey, who took him in at age 5 after his parents divorced. He had an early introduction to gospel music in churches, and his neighbors taught him how to play drums, guitar, and piano. As a child, he sang for his classmates and competed in local talent shows. Despite his early musical experience, Brown initially wanted to pursue a career in baseball or boxing rather than music.
