Tony Way was born on 7 October 1978 in Rochford, Essex, England, UK. He is an actor and writer, known for Edge of Tomorrow (2014), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) and High-Rise (2015).- Katya Wyeth was the daughter of an English solicitor, Rex Wyeth and German mother who was a ballerina. As a child, she was educated in Essex, England and Hamburg, West Germany. Influenced by her mother, Katya originally trained as a ballet dancer at the Theatre Royal, Windsor. But when her height of 5'9" became detrimental to that career, she turned to modeling and acting.
She spent several years in repertory theatre, playing with the National Youth Theatre, and was featured in productions in the late 1960s, including Dear Charles and Rebelais at London's Round House in 1971. She also worked for a time as an assistant stage manager and understudy and acted in a German film and on German television.
Although she had been briefly seen on BBC Television in 1964 in a play televised from the Ashcroft Theatre, Julius Caesar (1964), Katya's British screen career truly commenced in the late 1960s. Before then, she was working as Katherina Wyeth then settled on Katya Wyeth in 1969 and employed this stage name for the rest of her acting career. She acted on television series such as Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969), The Avengers (1961), The Goodies (1970), The Sweeney (1975) and Space: 1999 (1975). She was also hostess of the game show The Sky's the Limit (1971), which was presented by Hughie Green.
Katya's feature film contributions include the horror films Hands of the Ripper (1971), Twins of Evil (1971) featuring Peter Cushing, and Burke & Hare (1972). Her role in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971) witnessed her with Malcolm McDowell in the 'Ascot fantasy' sequence that closes the film.
As the 1970s progressed and the British Film Industry fell into a decline, many projects available to British-based actors were low-brow exploitation films, and Katya was featured in two of them; Confessions of a Window Cleaner (1974) and I'm Not Feeling Myself Tonight (1976). Her last screen credit was in the film No. 1 of the Secret Service (1977), a James Bond spoof directed by Lindsay Shonteff which inexplicably led to two sequel films.
In her personal life, Katya was married to actor Michael Bangerter from 1971 until his death in 2016. They had two children; a son and daughter. - Stunts

Josh Winiberg is a composer, pianist, and electronic music producer from the UK.
Published by Editions Musica Ferrum. Josh's music has been used in over 30 award-winning films, video games, contemporary dance productions, radio documentaries and theatre shows. Josh's last album, Change, has been streamed over a million times.
A relatively late starter on the piano, Josh began teaching himself to play in 2002, aged 14. What he lacked in experience and formal piano education, he made up for with an insatiable hunger for music. This drive intensified following the terminal diagnosis of his step-father. After chancing upon Ludovico Einaudi on Classic FM, Josh was inspired to compose an album to give to his step-father - himself a musician - before he passed away.
Racing against the clock, by 2004 Josh had composed and released his first solo piano album, 'Sunrise'. Although very rough around the edges, it received positive feedback from Einaudi. Praise was also received from SoloPianoRadio.com founder David Nevue, who welcomed Josh onto the Whisperings artist roster. As a result, Josh was invited to perform his work at the prestigious Ravello Festival, Italy, where he debuted his second piano album, 'Silent Embrace'.
A year later, Josh received his first commission, composing the soundtrack for the cartoon platform game 'Mr Smoozles Goes Nutso' (by award-winning writer, Steve Ince, of 'Broken Sword' and 'Beneath a Steel Sky' fame).
Upon finishing school, Josh began studying a BA in Music Composition at Dartington College of Arts, where he released his third solo album, Those Nights, which was warmly received by Kathy Parsons of MainlyPiano.com. In 2008, he took part in an ERASMUS exchange program to Berlin, a city he returned to on a long term basis following the completion of his degree. While continuing to compose soundtracks, Josh became increasingly inspired by the nightlife in his new home. Within a few months of sampling the Berlin scene, (and true to every cliché about the city), Josh was producing and performing electronic music, blending his classical flair with the hypnotic, German flavour of after-hour techno. Since then, Josh's productions have been supported by some of the world's most respected DJs and electronic music magazines including John Digweed, Pig & Dan, Josh Butler, Matthias Vogt, Daniel Bortz, Faze Magazine and DMC World Magazine.
In 2009, hang drum pioneer and YouTube sensation Manu Delago premiered one of Josh's compositions for hang and string quartet.
Returning back to the UK in 2013, Josh was approached by American Film Institute alumnus and long term collaborator Quan Zhou to provide the soundtrack for his next film, Woman in Fragments. This moving drama went on to be screened at film festivals internationally, including Cannes.
The soundtrack to Woman in Fragments, as well as the narrative themes running throughout the film, formed the basis of a new instrumental album, Change, which was released in 2017. This album was featured by the HDSounDI YouTube channel and has since received over a million streams, as well as being touted as a contender for album of the year by Kathy Parsons at MainlyPiano.com.
In 2015, music from 'Those Nights', was used in the BBC Radio 4 documentary 'A Fishwives Tale', by award-winning radio production house, Falling Tree (Hana Walker Brown).
In 2018, Josh took up classical piano lessons with local virtuoso Naoko Inoue, tackling more advanced repertoire and honing his craft. Later that year he won the Southend Music Festival piano section with three gold medal performances of pieces by Beethoven, Chopin and Schubert. The following year, he gained the DipABRSM performance diploma in piano.
The years since have seen Josh return more extensively to soundtrack writing, scoring three short horror films: 'Off the Hook' (Best Short Film, 2022), 'The Woods Near Jacob's Farm' and 'See What She Did', as well as Paradise - the powerful story of a Polish migrant in the UK. Other film credits include sound mixing and sound design for feature films, such as the award-winning 'Manfish' (Best Feature Film, 2022).
2021 saw the release of Josh's first published book of sheet music, solo piano arrangements from the album Change, which was released by Editions Musica Ferrum.- Special Effects
