SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series presents Selma Blair
DESCRIPTION:Selma Blair\n\n\nActress\, “Legally Blonde” & “People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story” | Author of “Mean Baby” | Disability Rights Advocate \n\n\nFree tickets available for graduate students March 1st through the UB Ticket Office.  1 per UB ID.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPublic Ticket Information\nTues.\, March 15\, 2023 at 7:00 p.m.\nCenter for the Arts\, UB North Campus\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Selma Blair\n\n\nThroughout her diverse career\, Selma Blair has been one of the most versatile and exciting actresses on screen. Blair’s longstanding career began with her comedic roles in pop culture classics in the early 2000s. Blair has worked with an array of acclaimed directors including Guillermo del Toro and Todd Solodnz\, to name a few. Additionally\, Blair was named one of Time Magazine’s “People of The Year” in 2017 as one of their Silence Breakers. \nBlair released her first memoir titled “Mean Baby” in which she tells the captivating story about growing up and finding her truth. Over the course of the beautiful and\, at times\, devastating memoir\, she lays bare her addiction to alcohol\, her devotion to her brilliant and complicated mother\, and the moments she flirted with death. There is brutal violence\, passionate love\, true friendship\, the gift of motherhood\, and\, finally\, the surprising salvation of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. “Mean Baby” hit stands in May 2022. \nBlair can be seen as the subject of the documentary\, “Introducing\, Selma Blair\,” which premiered to rave reviews at the 2021 SXSW Festival\, where the feature won the Special Jury Recognition for Exceptional Intimacy in Storytelling. The film also won the New York Women in Film & Television Documentary Award at the Hamptons Film Festival and received three Critics Choice Documentary Award nominations\, including Best Documentary Feature. The documentary\, which reveals Blair’s intimate and raw journey with multiple sclerosis\, opened in theaters in fall 2021. It was subsequently released on Discovery+ and is currently streaming on the platform. \nPreviously\, Blair starred in the comedy/horror thriller “Mom and Dad\,” alongside Nicolas Cage. The film\, which follows a teenage girl and her younger brother as they must survive a wild 24 hours during which a mass hysteria of unknown origin causes parents to turn violently on their own kids. The film premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival and later screened at the 2017 Sitges Film Festival and the 2017 Molins Film Festival\, where it was nominated for the Jury Prize for Best Film and the Audience Award for Best Films. VARIETY critic Dennis Harvey wrote “She [Blair] covers a gamut from bittersweet sympathy to farce to monstrousness\, running amok like a cat on piano keys\, yet hitting each note perfectly. “Mom & Dad” isn’t the kind of movie they give acting awards to — but in a just world\, it would be.” \nOn television\, Blair was seen co-starring as Kris Jenner in FX’s “The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story” for director Ryan Murphy. \nBlair also starred in Todd Solodnz’s “Dark Horse” in 2011 as Miranda (formerly Vi)\, alongside Christopher Walken and Mia Farrow. The film debuted at the Venice Film Festival and was later released by Virgil Films & Entertainment. Blair also starred in Todd Solodnz’s “Storytelling” in 2001. \nIn 2008\, Blair reprised her role as Liz Sherman in Guillermo del Toro’s “Hellboy II: The Golden Army\,” after starring in the original “Hellboy” in 2004 (also directed by del Toro). \nBlair is perhaps best known for her scene-stealing performance as Vivian Kensington in MGM’s hit romantic comedy “Legally Blonde\,” alongside Reese Witherspoon. The film was nominated in 2002 for a Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. \nIn 1999\, Blair played the role of Cecile Caldwell in “Cruel Intentions\,” alongside Reese Witherspoon\, Sarah Michelle Gellar\, and Ryan Phillippe. Columbia Pictures released the film\, which was directed by Roger Kumble. \nOther film credits include the YA film “After” (2019) and its sequel\, “After We Collided” (2020)\, based on the popular romance novels of the same name. Blair also starred in Robert Benton’s “Feast of Love” in 2007\, and John Water’s “A Dirty Shame” in 2004. In 2002\, Blair reconnected with her “Cruel Intentions” director Roger Kumble in “The Sweetest Thing” for Columbia Pictures\, alongside Cameron Diaz\, Christina Applegate\, and Jason Bateman. \nBlair also starred on television as Kim on “Kath & Kim” for NBC from 2008-2009\, opposite Molly Shannon. Blair has made memorable guest star appearances including “Friends\,” “Another Life\,” “Heathers\,” “Portlandia” and “Web Therapy.” \nOn stage\, Blair starred in the World Premiere production of Rajiv Joseph’s “Gruesome Playground Injuries at The Alley Theater” and was nominated for a Grammy Award for “Best Spoken Word Recording” for her reading of “The Diary of Anne Frank.”\n \nBlair currently resides in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Series presents Ken Jeong
DESCRIPTION:Ken Jeong\n\n\nActor\, “The Hangover;” “Knocked Up;” & “Community” | Comedian | Producer \n\n\n\nFree tickets available for graduate students starting September 26th through the UB Ticket Office.  1 per UB ID.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPublic Ticket Information\n\n\n\n\nTues.\, October 11\, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.\nCenter for the Arts\, UB’s North Campus \n\nMore About Ken Jeong\n\n\nKnown for his scene stealing abilities\, actor\, producer\, writer and comedian Ken Jeong has established himself as one of today’s top comedic stars. Since his feature film debut playing the doctor in “Knocked Up” in 2007\, Jeong has gone on to create memorable roles on both TV and film. \nJeong can currently be seen as a panelist on “The Masked Singer\,” the hit show that received an Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Competition Program in 2020. Jeong is also the host and executive producer of “I Can See Your Voice\,” as well as a panelist on “The Masked Dancer.” We’re calling Wednesday “Kensday.” The actor can recently be seen in Mike Meyers’ Netflix limited series “The Pentaverate” alongside Meyers\, Keegan-Michael Key\, Debi Mazar\, Richard McCabe\, Lydia West and Jennifer Saunders. The comedy series is about a secret society that has been working to control world events since 1347. Jeong can also recently be seen in Will Arnett’s “Murderville\,” Netflix’s new series where Arnett and his celebrity guests improvise their way through a murder investigation without a script. \nUp next\, Jeong will be seen in AppleTV+’s “The Afterparty” alongside Elizabeth Perkins\, Zach Woods\, Paul Walter Hauser\, Poppy Liu\, Anna Konkle\, Jack Whitehall and Vivian Wu\, as well as returning stars Tiffany Haddish\, Sam Richardson and Zoë Chao. Season 2 will revolve around a murder at a wedding\, with Richardson and Chao taking on lead duties solving the crime\, and  Haddish back as Detective Danner. \nPrior to headlining “Kensday” on FOX\, Jeong starred on ABC’s “Dr. Ken\,” where he was the creator\, writer and executive producer. He also was a series regular on the critically acclaimed NBC show “Community” from 2009-2015\, which won the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Comedy Series in 2012. In 2015\, Jeong directed an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary “Student Athlete\,” and he also starred in and produced the Sundance award-winning film “Advantageous” which received an Independent Spirit Award nomination. \nIn addition to his work on “Dr. Ken” and “Community\,” the actor can be seen on TV hits such as “The Office\,” “Entourage” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” In 2008\, Jeong had his first major film role opposite Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott as the villain in David Wain’s “Role Models.” That same year he also appeared in the cult comedy hits “Pineapple Express” and “Step Brothers.” In May of 2009\, Jeong appeared as the Asian-mobster “Mr. Chow” in the sleeper-hit comedy “The Hangover” also starring Bradley Cooper\, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis\, which earned Jeong an MTV Movie Award in 2010\, and the film itself won The Golden Globe for Best Comedy/Musical and Critics’ Choice Award for Best Comedy in 2010. The film was the highest-grossing R-rated comedy to date\, with over $467 million worldwide\, only to be trumped by “The Hangover II\,” which grossed $581 million worldwide. Jeong reprised his iconic role in “The Hangover III.” His other film credits include “Crazy Rich Asians\,” “Pineapple Express\,” “Step Brothers\,“ “Ride Along 2\,” “Transformers: Dark of the Moon\,” “Couples Retreat\,” “Goosebumps 2” and “Tom & Jerry” among a steady list of roles. \nJeong has lent his voice to a plethora of animated films and was recently heard in Netflix’s Oscar- nominated “Over the Moon\,” Warner Brothers’ “Scoob\,” and Disney’s “Lady and the Tramp.” Jeong’s other voice over credits include “The Casagrandes\,” “Wonder Park” and “My Little Pony\,” among a lengthy list. \nIn February 2019\, Jeong returned to his stand-up roots for his first-ever hit Netflix comedy special\, “Ken Jeong: You Complete Me\, Ho\,” which earned him a People’s Choice nomination for The Comedy Act of 2019. Filmed at The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena\, California\, where Jeong first got his start in comedy\, the special reflects on how he went from being a doctor to a comedy superstar. He opens up about how his wife’s courageous battle with breast cancer led to him starring in one of the biggest comedy franchises of all time\, “The Hangover\,” and more recently\, “Crazy Rich Asians.” \nJeong’s career path started off on a different course. He earned his undergraduate degree at Duke University and went on to get his medical degree at the University of North Carolina. Jeong completed his internal medicine residency in New Orleans all the while developing his comedy. In 1995\, Jeong won the Big Easy Laff Off. The competition\, which was judged by former NBC President Brandon Tartikoff and Improv founder Budd Friedman\, turned out to be his big break as Tartikoff and Friedman urged Jeong to head to Los Angeles. \nJeong dedicates his spare time to volunteering with Stand Up 2 Cancer\, which is a cause very close to his heart. Jeong has also been very outspoken on the rise in racism and hate crimes against the AAPI community in the last year. He is using his platform to call attention to these issues and advocate for change in hopes of having a lasting impact. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and twin daughters.
