Original supermodel Kelly Le Brock has returned to the big screen with an emotionally stirring heartfelt special appearance in Timothy Hines’ new film, “Tomorrow’s Today”.
Kelly Le Brock, whom the phrase “Supermodel” was coined for, was born in New York and raised in London. She is the daughter of a French-Canadian father and an Irish mother. Kelly Le Brock began her career as a model beginning at the age of sixteen. She has appeared on hundreds of covers and magazines including with Christian Dior. She became one of Eileen Ford’s most sought-after models. Her motion picture debut was in the Oscar-winning comedy movie“The Woman in Red” (1984) opposite Gene Wilder. She has appeared in many films including the iconic comedy“Weird Science” (1985) with Robert Downey Jr.,“Hard to Kill” (1990),“Wrongfully Accused” (1998) and“The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” (2001).
Ms. Le Brock was formerly married to actor Steven Seagal, with whom she has three children, Annaliza, Dominic and Arissa. She rarely returns to the screen and when she does it is a choice selection of role. Ms. Le Brock is a human rights activist who spends much of her time on her ranch in Southern California. She is an amazing woman/actress/model/mother, beloved by the world.
Legendary Academy Award nominee actor Burt Young (Paulie in Sylvester Stallone’s“Rocky”), is sublime in Timothy Hines’ new comedy feature film,“Tomorrow’s Today”. In Hines’ film Young plays Luca, the village sage who has his own painful past.
Young first gathered notice playing tough thugs in such films as“The Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight” (1971),“Across 110th Street” (1972),“Chinatown” (1974) and“The Gambler” (1974). Fiery director Sam Peckinpah cast Young as the getaway driver / assassin Mac in“The Killer Elite” (1975), and Young came to the attention of then newcomer Sylvester Stallone, who cast him as future brother-in-law ‘Paulie’ in the 1976 Academy Award winning classic“Rocky” (1976).
The talented Young was nominated for an Oscar, and has gone on to reprise the role in all five“Rocky” sequels to date. Peckinpah re-hired him to play renegade trucker Pigpen in“Convoy” (1978) in which the director homaged Young by having his character’s truck door read“Paulie Hauling”.
Young has also appeared in numerous other major productions, including“Once Upon a Time in America” (1984),“The Pope of Greenwich Village” (1984),“Last Exit to Brooklyn” (1989) and“Mickey Blue Eyes” (1999).
“Tomorrow’s Today” director Timothy Hines says,“I have a great cast, Joanne Scorcia, Colin Buckingham, Kelly Le Brock, Burt Young and Dave Morrissey Jr. who…has it – that“it” factor where you can’t take your eyes off of him. Dave’s a consummately trained actor but one who has also found his game. He really understands his craft and everything he brought advanced the storytelling of “Tomorrow’s Today”. I would work with Dave again and again.”
“We needed something very specific for the role of Shakes in “Tomorrow’s Today” and I can’t tell you enough how delighted I am to have found Dave Morrissey Jr. for this very special co-starring role,” comments producer Susan Goforth who is producing “Tomorrow’s Today”. Goforth adds,“When I first saw Dave’s work I instantly knew we found our Shakes. Morrissey Jr. is perfect and, combined with Frederick Stroppel’s comedic writing, the leadership of director Timothy Hines and executive producer Dominick Martini and a heaven-sent cast and crew, and I knew “Tomorrow’s Today” would turn out a winner. I can’t wait for the world to see this one get knocked out of the park.”
