Edouard Giard —Alex
Edouard fell in love with film when he was six years old as he saw Tim Burton's Batman. The world of the movie and the joker portrayed by Jack Nicholson marked him profoundly and lead him to the decision, after completing high school, to move from the South of France to Paris to pursue an acting career.
He quickly gets noticed by an established agent and guest stars in the TV film "Avocats et Associes", followed by the male lead role in the TV series "Heidi". After his career takes him on a series of roles with leading actors such as Jean-Macr Barr, Christophe Lambert and Benoit Magimel.
2011 is a great year for him with two films. First Cloclo, a biopic about the life of French singer Claude Francois, known worldwide for writing the best selling song "My Way". Edouard plays Ticky Olgado, Claude's personal secretary and confident, who then became a leading French actor.
The second film is of course "Roundabout American", where Edouard plays the lead role, and invites you to browse the site to find out more:-)

Mary Jo Faraci —Senator Allen
Mary Jo Faraci has been a professional actor for over thirty years. Recently, she appeared as the Social Worker in Steven Soderberg's film "Contagion". She also recently played Doreen Mahoney in the Indy film "One Small Hitch", where she worked with Emmy Award winning actor Daniel J. Travanti. Other film credits include "Flipper" where she played Sandy's (Elijah Wood) mom and the cult film "The Smokers" where she played another mom, Mrs. Carter. Mary Jo has appeared in over 100 television commercials and 300 corporate and educational videos. Having played so many "moms" and "upstanding citizens" in her career, it was a pleasure to take on the role of the "not so nice" Senator Tammy Allen in the film "Roundabout American".
She'd like to say that working with the talented and professional cast and crew of RA was a truly wonderful experience, and Boris and Julian were a delight.
