Everyone knows the story of Pinocchio and now there is a new version made especially for TV.
Pinocchio is played by British actor, Robbie Kay, who does a wonderful job in the title role opposite well-known Bob Hoskins (as Gepetto). BoyStars favourite, Thomas Sangster, also makes an appearance as Lampwick.
You may have seen Robbie before in other productions such as Hannibal Rising, Fugitive Pieces, or My Boy Jack.
Robbie was born in Lyminton, England and spent time studying acting, singing and dancing at one of England’s Stagecoach theatre schools.
Robbie is currently living in Prague in the Czech Republic.

Just in time for Xmas a new adaptation of the old Charles Dickens favourite Oliver Twist recently aired on BBC One in the UK. With the main character being a young boy it is always exciting to see his performance in each new production. This time round Oliver is played by newcomer William Miller who beat over 700 other boys to land the role. William’s only previous acting credit is a part in the 2006 TV docu-drama about the 1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano called Krakatoa: The Last Days. Interestingly, this 2006 TV movie was directed by William’s father, Sam Miller and also starred his mother, Janine Wood.
William was born in 1996 in London, England and like many English boys is very keen on football. He currently plays for Leyton Orient’s under-12 team but his talents aren’t just restricted to acting because he has already been scouted for the Tottenham Hotspur football team. This presents quite a dilemma career wise - should he pursue acting or follow the football path? This is a decision he has not yet made.
For those who missed the TV airing or are not in the UK the 5-part series of Oliver Twist can be downloaded from various sources on the Net. Stay tuned!

This week the Malloys/Riches are hosting a dinner party in honour of Doug’s partnership offer at Panco. Dahlia bumps into her old cellmate, Chunky K, while shopping and invites her to stay at the house and play the part of their maid at the dinner party.
Of course, the dinner party doesn’t work out as planned, in fact you could say it was a complete disaster except for the fact that Sam (Aidan Mitchell) once again dazzled everyone with his choice of clothing for the party.
Don’t forget the official site and these two fansites, The Riches Unofficial Fan Site and The Riches Fan Site for more information.

Aidan will be playing the role of the main character Marcus as a young boy in the upcoming movie In My Sleep. Marcus suffers from a rare sleep disorder that causes him to do things in his sleep which he can’t remember the following day.
When he wakes up one day covered in blood and finds out that his best friend’s wife has been stabbed to death he must frantically search for answers before the police start ringing his doorbell.
The official website features the story of the movie, behind the scenes information, the latest production news, and the movie trailer in which we only get a few glimpses of Aidan. Hopefully he will have more screen time in the full feature. There is also an In My Sleep MySpace page available.
