woman torn between her loyalty to a fading love and seeking out her innermost
hopes and dreams. "She's going through a transformation in life," says
Trachtenberg. "She's got problems and isn't perfect. It's easy to relate to her
and what she's going through."
Will Estes (Mike)
Like co-star Michelle Trachtenberg, the twentysomething actor
broke into show business early, starting at age 10. He's taken on a whole gamut
of roles but is most recognized as J.J. Pryor on NBC's hit family drama
"American Dreams" and his portrayal as a World War II seaman in the adventure
film "U-571," opposite Matthew McConaughey and Jon Bon Jovi. Next up, Estes will
appear in the highly anticipated FOX show "Reunion."
In this Lifetime Original Movie, Estes plays Mike Mayor, Carrie Beal's high
school sweetheart and fiancé who is left paralyzed after a diving mishap. "He
learns the important lesson that people you love can disappoint you," says Estes
about his character. "When Mike accepts and comes to terms with that, he really
redefines his whole take on life."
Sean Maher (Kilroy)
With his engaging screen presence, Sean Maher has become a
Hollywood heartthrob. His big breakthroughs have been opposite Tom Everett Scott
and Oscar® winner Jennifer Connelly in the Fox ensemble drama "The $treet" and
as the final love interest for Neve Campbell on Fox's "Party of Five." Next,
Maher will portray Dr. Simon Tam in the sci-fi flick "Serenity," based on the
character he created on the critically acclaimed FOX series "Firefly."
In this Lifetime Original Movie, Maher plays Kilroy, an intriguing older man who
hides his past from current love interest Carrie Beal. But Kilroy will soon find
out that his cryptic ways will stir up plenty of chaos with his new flame.
