Patricia Heaton (Actor) .. Frankie
Born: March 04, 1958
Birthplace: Cleveland, Ohio, United States
Trivia: Born and raised in Ohio, actress Patricia Heaton got her start on the stage, performing with the off-Broadway company Stage Three. In 1989, she got her screen-acting big break when she was cast in a recurring role on ABC's thirtysomething. Over the next several years, she could be seen in a number of failed sitcoms, small TV guest roles, and bit film parts. But in 1996, Heaton landed the role that would make her career, that of long-suffering matriarch Debra Barone on the hit CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. Heaton starred on the show through its nine-year run, receiving seven consecutive Emmy nominations and two wins. Following the conclusion of Everybody Loves Raymond in 2005, Heaton appeared in a pair of made-for-TV movies (The Engagement Ring and The Path to 9/11) before making her way back to sitcom territory in 2007, when she began starring as a TV news anchor opposite Kelsey Grammer on Fox's Back to You, and again 2009 for The Middle, in which she plays the lead role of Frankie Heck, a working-class mother devoted to her family despite her struggles at work and as caretaker for her ailing mother.
Neil Flynn (Actor) .. Mike
Born: November 13, 1960
Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois, United States
Trivia: Comedic actor Neil Flynn cut his teeth with the renowned improv companies Second City and ImprovOlympic, the latter of which saw him study under the late improv guru Del Close. Despite his comedy-oriented aspirations, though, Flynn spent much of his early career taking bit parts in films like The Fugitive and Magnolia and on TV shows such as Doogie Howser, M.D. and Chicago Hope, often playing a cop. But in 2001, things took a decidedly positive turn when he was cast as the nameless Janitor on NBC's Scrubs, a role that was intended only for the pilot but was expanded to a regular series character in light of Flynn's performance. In addition to his live-action work, Flynn has also done a considerable amount of voice work on such animated projects as Clone High, Kim Possible, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Flynn left Scrubs after season 8 and took a starring role in the ABC comedy The Middle, playing patriarch Mike Heck
Eden Sher (Actor) .. Sue
Born: December 26, 1991
Birthplace: Los Angeles, California, United States
Trivia: Appeared on The Tonight Show as a child when the late-night talk show filmed at her school. Her hobbies include hiking with her dogs and doing volunteer work, such as promoting sustainable agriculture in Nicaragua. Wears prosthetic braces on her teeth for her role as teenager Sue Heck in The Middle.
Atticus Shaffer (Actor) .. Brick
Born: June 19, 1998
Birthplace: Pasadena, California, United States
Trivia: Named after To Kill a Mockingbird character Atticus Finch. Began acting at age 8. Has appeared in many commercials. Is a Boy Scout.
Charlie McDermott (Actor) .. Axl
Born: April 06, 1990
Birthplace: West Chester, Pennsylvania, United States
Trivia: Actor Charlie McDermott got an early start to his career, snagging his first film role in 2004's thriller The Village when he was just 14. The Pennsylvania native would continue to work consistently over the next few years, appearing in the vignette comedy The Ten, as well as the Christmas drama Frozen River. In the years to come, McDermott would enjoy success in movies like Hot Tub Time Machine, and on the hit series The Middle.
