Arnas Fedaravicius is a Lithuanian actor and producer known for his role as Sihtric in the British historical fiction series, The Last Kingdom.
Studying at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, Fedaravicius was on the fast track to the screen, also receiving intensive stunt training, which was soon to become useful for his fight scenes in the popular period piece.
With credited acting roles in productions including Deadly Code (2013), Chasing Solace (2015) and Access All Areas (2017), Fedaravicius became more visible with the portrayal of Andrus in the television drama series Thicker Than Water. Appearing in several roles over the series duration, something bigger was waiting ahead.
The release of its first episodes in late 2015 captured an audience beyond borders, but The Last Kingdom was far from its peak. Co-produced by Netflix, where the show now airs, the series soon cast Fedaravicius in the of Sihtric, a character whose story is far deeper than the eye can see.- Actress

Maurice Cass was born on October 12, 1884, in Vilnius, Lithuania (then Vilno, Russian Empire). He emigrated to the USA, and in his pursuit of an acting career, he began as announcer and comedian in New York. Cass had a pleasant face, a small body and a big voice.
With his nearsightedness and his inevitable pince-nez adding weight to his intelligent face, Cass was destined to play professors, doctors, writers, and managers with his special brand of genial, slightly absent-minded officiousness. He started playing bit parts, often uncredited, and made a career as a character actor in more than 120 film and television productions. His best known work was Professor Newton, a supporting role in a series of space adventure movies made for TV and shown over the period from 1954 to 1956. Cass's snow-white haired Professor Newton could always be counted on to provide the scientific explanation for all the fantastic events that unfolded before the viewer. Professor Newton had his own observatory (which was filmed at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles) and although elderly, he would often accompany the astronauts on their adventurous space flights.
Maurice Cass's character, Professor Newton, was replaced by Professor Mayberry upon Cass's death of a heart attack, at the age of 69, on June 8, 1954, in Hollywood, California.- Actress

Although his name nowadays means very little except to animation buffs (and even they have to be pretty well informed), Wladyslaw Starewicz ranks alongside Walt Disney, as one of the great animation pioneers, and his career started nearly a decade before Disney's. He became an animator by accident - fascinated by insects, he bought a camera and attempted to film them, but they kept dying under the hot lights. Stop-motion animation provided an instant (if slow) solution, and Starewicz discovered that he had a natural talent for it. He subsequently made dozens of short films, mostly featuring his trademark stop-motion puppets, but also live action films (some blending live action and animation), moving to France after the Russian Revolution to continue his career. His longest and most ambitious film was the feature-length 'Tale of the Fox', which took ten years to plan and eighteen months to shoot. Starewicz' films were virtually one-man shows (writer/director/cameraman/designer/animator), though other important contributions (in front of and behind the camera) were made by his daughters.- Art Department
