Joey Kern • "Wes"

Wes is a dreamer, an idealist. Quiet, intelligent, and highly perceptive, he is possessed of an active imagination. And he’s funny, no matter what other people say. His dry, ever-so-slightly self-deprecating humor, tempered by a charm he’s not even fully aware of, is offset by the unhappiness that comes from his romanticized view of the world, of wanting things to be perfect even though he knows it's unrealistic.

Wes is played by Joey Kern, perhaps best known for his leading role in the sleeper horror hit “Cabin Fever.” A classically trained actor, his formal education includes both NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. Joey started his career on stage, performing with such renowned companies as the Atlantic Theater, New Group Theater, and Theatre for a New Audience.

His feature film debut came in the indie “Die Jungfrau (The Virgin).” He followed that with an appearance on HBO’s “Sex and the City.” Subsequent film credits include “Super Troopers,” “Love the Hard Way” (starring Adrien Brody), “XX/XY,” “Garmento,” and “Grind.” In addition to all the days before tomorrow, Joey can be seen in the upcoming features “Lovewrecked” (Amanda Bynes, Jamie-Lynn DiScala, and Fred Willard), “One Part Sugar” (Justin Long, Danny DeVito) and the 2006 Slamdance hit
“The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang” (with Justin Long).

Alexandra Holden • “Alison”

Beyond her quirky, off-beat, witty sexuality, what makes Alison ultimately compelling is her whole other side: the fragile, delicate, vulnerable way in which she draws Wes – and us, the audience – so completely and inescapably to her inner world, a place replete with possibility, hope, and yet uncertainty.

Alexandra Holden really is Alison. Boasting an extensive film and television career, all the more impressive for her relatively young age, recent high-profile features include “How to Deal” (starring Mandy Moore) and “The Hot Chick” (with Rob Schneider). But she also has another 15 movies to her credit, spanning the last eight years, and ranging from “Drop Dead Gorgeous” (with her hilarious turn as the nutritionally-deprived former winner of Minnesota’s premiere beauty pageant) to “In & Out,” EdTV,” “Sugar & Spice,” “American Gun,” “Dead End,” “Window Theory,” and the recent “Special” (starring Michael Rapaport).

Television audiences will remember her as David Schwimmer’s girlfriend (and Bruce Willis’ daughter) for half a season of “Friends,” and for her recurring role as Jane Wilco on “Ally McBeal.” Other notable guest appearances include “Once and Again,” “Six Feet Under,” “Tru Calling” and “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Richard Roundtree • “El Doctor”

Intermingled amongst revealing chapters of the couple’s past, present, and possible future are Wes’ many dream-state encounters with his enigmatic alter ego and metaphysical sounding board, the sage El Doctor. Captured against stunning desert vistas in starkly contrasting black and white, they offer an otherwise unavailable insight into Wes’ own psyche… and, in the process, a deeper understanding of the uniqueness of Alison, reflected in his growing love for her.

Brilliantly embodied by Richard Roundtree, El Doctor quite simply takes
all the days before tomorrow to a whole other level as a movie.Forever known to audiences of all ages as “Shaft,” Richard was the leading man in many blaxploitation movies of the seventies. But he’s also gained both critical and audience notice in his current role as the mysterious “Mr. Shaw” on ABC’s runaway hit “Desperate Housewives.”

In between, his 35-plus-year career has seen him star in over 50 feature films. There were, among so many others, notable performances in: “A Game for Vultures” (with Richard Harris, Joan Collins, and Ray Milland), “Escape to Athena” (Roger Moore, Telly Savalas, David Niven), and “Day of the Assassin” (Chuck Connors, Glenn Ford) in the 70s; “Inchon” (Lawrence Olivier, Jacqueline Bisset, Ben Gazzara) and “City Heat” (Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, Madeline Kahn) in the 80s; “Se7en” (Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey) and “George of the Jungle” (Brendan Fraser, John Cleese) in the 90s.

Richard began the new millennium by revisiting the film that started it all, this time playing Uncle John to Samuel L. Jackson’s “Shaft” in the 2000 remake, also starring Vanessa Williams, Jeffrey Wright, and Christian Bale. His latest film, “Brick,” premiered to great acclaim at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and was followed by a successful theatrical release in 2006 by Focus Features.

A truly accomplished actor and a consummate professional, he has worked with such prominent directors as Terence Young, Richard Benjamin, David Fincher, John Singleton, and Clint Eastwood.In addition to his recurring role on “Desperate Housewives,” Richard has turned in guest appearances on more than 30 television shows, from classics such as “The Love Boat,” “ChiPs,” “Magnum PI,” “LA Law,” “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Alias” to current hits “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Heroes.”
