You Won't Believe What This Actor Did To Become a Texas Ranger!
Many actors will go to serious lengths for a role. We've seen everything from total makeovers to hair removal; from weight loss to gaining muscle mass.

Fantastic Four Star Is Set To Star In Acclaimed SXSW Director's New Film
Picture this: Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system.
