Optionals:

Muscular/Athletic
Race/Nationality:
White/Caucasian-American

Required Details:
Personality:
Always seemed the funny man with a heart of good, despite his childhood being filled with pressure and difficult parents that only wanted the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Dimitri often has a smile and shoulder to share, offering laughs if you didn’t mind his jokes and a listening ear if you needed someone to just well, listen. He was seemingly fairly well liked on set and off because of his sweet and caring nature.

Quite popular with fans of the show as the too were the others in the cast. But he had a following that went beyond his role as Christian Tyler, the red haired ball of energy that started off as the young teen trying to find his way in life to the young adult that kept his friends on their toes with his antics. The popularity help start his bands rise from unknown small club regulars to mainstream notice.

Even now, While recent years haven’t been too great. Dimitri remains a sweet guy with jokes, but a little more attitude and distrustful of people. He’s been burned too many times by people he’s helped or let in with their taking advantage and nearly bleeding him dry or letting him drink his troubles away. He regrets allowing his band to break up the way they did, but doesn’t hold any idea of reaching out to mend old fences. Showing a regretful side yet still stubborn.

Bio:
Dimitri Zachary Winters born in Charlotte, North Carolina and moved to Los Angeles, California by the age of five. Started out being pushed by his parents into acting in hopes of him becoming the next big child star, Dimitri was cast in multiple commercials as a kid before getting minor roles in various tv shows and movies.

By the age of 15, he was granted emancipation by the courts and recognized as a independent adult. The following year he graduated early from high school and found his first major role in a new series called, Because of you, Cincinnati as Christian Tyler, a role he would play for each of the shows seven seasons on ABC, before it was moved and played one final season on NBC.

During that time, he studied and took college classes part time, tried his hand at improv, stand up comedy and dipping his hand in the music industry with his band called “Revel In It” where he was the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist and occasionally played saxophone. The band had only minor success as a local clubs regular before a video of Christian Tyler aka Dimitri Winters was recorded by a fan and posted online where it went viral. His role on the tv show proving a beneficial boost for the local Cincinnati band where they began a climb up the ladder and recorded a few minor hits that topped the charts for a short time overseas in the U.K and shared some success in the states as well.

Other then some minor hits, the band only ever achieved steady and respectable success before they finally broke up after years of in-fighting and rumors of creative differences became the bands downfall. Shortly after this, at the age of 24 and wrapping up its eighth and thought final season, Because of you, Cincinnati came to a end and marked yet another break up of sorts. Though a more positive and emotional as the cast had been together for years before the series finale.

Since, Dimitri has fallen off the Hollywood radar and struggled with sobriety. He’s done some stand up here and there at different clubs, performed solo here and there while trying to break out on his own and make a return in the music business with new songs, covers of other artists music and performing old hits from his ‘revel in it’ days. Yet Dimitri hasn’t found much success as his drinking problems persist to hide and drink away his troubles. Reports say he’s been in one failed relationship after another since the show ended and band broke up, while others say his charitable efforts to help others has attracted the wrong sort of people and has been bled dry. The truth is somewhere in the middle of honest.

Overall, the former Co-star in Because of you, Cincinnati... hasn’t quite been the same since the show ended and has fallen off the map. Possibly another sad story of a former child actor turned troubled B-list star out of work.

Time will tell how this rumored reboot of Because of you, Cincinnati... nine years after the show ended will turn out. It is reported that Dimitri Winters has signed on to return to reprise his role as Christian Tyler in the hit series. The show is said to reunite the characters and show what they’re up to now days, perhaps they have families of their own? Remains the bachelor of the group refusing to tie themselves down or the chef who may or may not have their own restaurant and culinary successes in life, or what else may have happened since.

Some fans ask.... Did Christian ever get with “name here” and become a successful comedian? Or will they be another Ross & Rachel ?

Required Details:
Personality:

Bio:
Cameron wasn't born into fame and fortune, nor was it something she ever thought would happen. Her parents always encouraged her to follow her dreams, but they also raised her to be realistic with those dreams, especially after the death of her father in an accident when she was ten years old. Her mother did her best to be both mother and father to Cam, but it was hard without any other help. Cam became a fairly independent individual. She did her chores and homework without being asked. She was every parents dream.

What they didn't see was the danger brewing under the surface. Depression had sunk in, stemming from the death of her father. Her mother didn't mean to be absent, but with having to work two jobs to take care of Cam, she wasn't always able to be around. Things came to a head when Cam was thirteen, and her mom found some dark writings in her school things.

The next few years were tumultuous-- there was alot of fighting, alot of yelling. Cam didn't want medication, but she needed it. It wasn't until high school that she finally found a routine that worked for her, and actually started making friends. Sophomore year, she entered a contest as a joke to become a star on Because of You, Cincinnati.

She never dreamed she'd be picked.

The show had its ups and downs, of course. But overall, it took alot out of her. After the show ended, she changed directions and made it big in the music industry. When she was asked to reprise the role of Bec from Because of You, Cincinnati, at first she refused. It took alot of begging to get the princess to come back.

Bio: Ginny was born in Hong Kong, daughter of fairly well off business family. Her parents were fairly busy with their careers so Ginny was raised mostly by her grandfather. Her grandfather once was a director in Chinese Cinema and the two spend a lot time watching old and new films from China and Hollywood. She particularly loved martial arts and other action films which inspired her to get into martial arts and pursuit a career in film. Therefore growing up she was a tomboy and fitness freek excelling in her martial training and drama.

He acting career started of promising, she had a few small parts in some Chinese films and shows. At 23 she took a risk and went to the US to try for Hollywood. Things didn't go as planned, for one reason or another roles for her were hard to come beyond a few bit parts and extra work. It wasn't long she was struggling to make a living. A break came when she was accepted for a role in Because of You, Cincinnati.

It was hardly a role she dreamed to play, Anne Marie was à shy demure girly girl mother hen type totally apposed to her tomboy. Still it was job, a chance at recognition and she wasn't one to pass up a challenge so dived into the role. It was more successful that she thought it would be and she made a few friends with the cast and crew. However she also gained something unexpected: the character Anne Marie was inspiring chef who found no greater pleasure than feeding her friends. To prepare she took some cooking lesson and found she enjoyed it as much as her character. She began to cook and experiment in her free time.

Eventually after a long successful run the show ended and Ginny had to find new work. Her role in Because of You, gained her a few new roll offers but it was to play similar characters. She took a couple of these roles but got tired of them quickly so she decided to leave acting. She pursued a career in cooking instead, it was hard work but she rose to prominence quickly. She opened a couple of restaurants and a won a celebrity cooking show starting of a new career as a celebrity chef. She released several books on both Asian and western cooking and had several cooking and travel shows. She almost did not agree to return to the reunion show of Because of you, Cincinnati due to her hectic schedule but she manages to waggle some time.
