| Carl Bradshaw � Film/Television Actor - Film: Dance Hall Queen; Klash; The Lunatic; The Mighty Quinn; Club Paradise; Countryman; Marijuana Affair; Smile Orange; Harder They Come; TV: TRAXX; Carl Bradshaw is recognized as a tremendously talented director and actor for his contribution to Jamaican cinema. He recently won the Doctor Bird Award for Acting (Jamaica's Academy Award). In Third World Cop, he plays an infamous don, and imbues his character with a depth and intelligence that he has brought to all his roles. Jamaica's most renowned actor and a folk hero in his own country, Bradshaw's acting career began with the part of bad man Jose in the classic reggae film, The Harder They Come. He also had parts in Smile Orange, Countryman, The Lunatic and Klash. Throughout his career, he has line-produced dozens of video and television programs for both local and international consumption, including co-producing Dancehall Queen in which he also played a supporting role. Bradshaw was a former Olympic quarter-mile runner for Jamaica. Acting, however, was his early love, and it won him a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. He believes that to achieve a true Jamaican flavour, productions that come out of the country should reflect the roots of the nation. Films: Dancehall Queen - Veteran Jamaican actor Carl Bradshaw (The Harder They Come, The Lunatic), producer of Dancehall Queen, says, "We have delivered a musically-driven story, a fusion of sight and sound, based on the daily experiences Jamaicans have to offer the world�.

The film follows her determined ascent, from street vendor to glitteringly fierce dancehall beauty in the film's climactic dance contest.
