The first African American woman to head a major presidential campaign (Gore-Lieberman 2000), Brazile is a veteran campaign strategist and grassroots political consultant. Prior to joining the Gore campaign, she was DC Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton's Chief of Staff and Press Secretary, where she helped guide the District's budget and local legislation on Capitol Hill.

Gary Dourdan
Dourdan got his start in a recurring role on NBC's A Different World. More film and TV work followed, including his current role on the CBS hit CSI. Dourdan is often branded by his striking good looks. But, what many fans don't know is that he's an accomplished musician. Under a pseudonym, he's released projects in the U.K. and Europe. Dourdan says he tries to put out good music and have people make their judgment based on the music, not his notoriety as an actor.
