Often considered one of the best players of his generation and regarded by many as one of the greatest of all time, Ronaldinho won two FIFA World Player of the Year awards and a Ballon d'Or. He was renowned for his technical skills and creativity; due to his agility, pace and dribbling ability, as well as his use of tricks, overhead kicks, no-look passes and accuracy from free-kicks.

Jackeline Olivier comes from Porto Alegre, a city in the south of Brazil, but has been cast as every ethnicity not just the typical Latina. Jackie began her acting career early. At age ten she played a weeping widow in the school play. Teachers, schoolmates and family, moved by the performance, encouraged her to become an actress. Ten plays, 13 films and loads of TV appearances later, "Jackie O" continues to live on the passionate edge of her art. She appeared in Day of the Dead 2: Contagium (2005), directed by James Glenn Dudelson and Ana Clavell. Jackie describes her character Vicky as "a self-centered, evil, cunning junkie". Jackie had a death scene in "Contagium" that went on for hours, as the scene following her character's death involved a small room where eight people were fighting around her, falling and stepping on her. She had to stay still with her eyes closed and remember she was dead. Jackie's a team player and appreciates this quality in others.
She has also appeared in The Dream of Alvareen (2009) with director Alexander Lehr, Boppin' at the Glue Factory (2009) with Jeff Orgill and Apartment 6 (2006), directed by John Pietros. Fearless and a risk taker, Jackie leaves the ego behind to embrace broken and complex characters. She refuses to be stereotyped as a luscious Latin babe--she not only has a body but also a soul, a workaholic who creates her own projects and revels in the backbreaking agony-ecstasy of live theatre. Her Equity-waiver ensemble production of "Pilgrims of the Night" at the Stella Adler Theatre won her raves from LA Weekly. It was a "physically exhausting" role involving 14 onstage 20-second wardrobe changes, 120 lighting cues, 70 sound cues and 30 video cues. She helped produce it, painted flats and created her own wardrobe.
She is never sitting still, she's a member of Filmmakers Alliance and The Creative Actos Alliance.- Producer
