Hey Dino Backers. Just a quick shout out to Tina this morning. She was a guest on Good Day Wisconsin talking all things Dino and about the funding drive. She did an OUTSTANDING JOB.

As of this moment, the Dino clan has a new member on the team. Mrs. Rex, Oscars mom will now be part of the show. BUT WAIT…what so grand about that you say? Well, she will be voiced in the pilot by none other than the amazingly talented Hollywood actress, Beth Grant.

Here’s a Mini Biography
Raised in the South, Beth Grant moved frequently as a child and enjoys claiming several towns and cities in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina as home. She was a Page in the North Carolina Senate, attended the North Carolina Governor's School for Gifted and Talented students, and received a governor's appointment at the age of nineteen.

She is a graduate of ECU with a BFA in Acting and Directing.

One of Hollywood's most recognizable faces, she has starred in over seventy feature films including this year's Best Picture Academy Award nominated Little Miss Sunshine (2006). She delighted in creating the character you love to hate, Pageant Official Jenkins, making Grant the happy recipient of the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble Cast In A Feature Film.

Other popular studio pictures include Rock Star (2001), The Rookie (2002/I), Matchstick Men (2003), Rain Man (1988), City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold (1994), To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995), and A Time to Kill (1996) and Speed (1994/I).

Grant has appeared in over thirty plays from Los Angeles to New York including two productions at The Ahmanson, William Inge's "Picnic" (with Jennifer Jason Leigh) and Tennessee Williams' "Summer and Smoke" (with Christopher Reeve) under the direction of Circle Rep's Marshall W. Mason. She has created roles in the world premieres of "Holy Ghosts" by Romulus Linney, "On A Southern Journey" by Maya Angelou, "The Day Emily Married" by Horton Foote, "Sordid Lives" and "The Trials and Tribualtions Of A Trailer Trash Housewife" by Del Shores.

Grant is a recipient of The Los Angeles Drama Critics Award and The L.A. Stage Alliance Award and The Backstage West Garlan Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Del Shores' the Trials And Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife.

On television, Grant was a favorite on the "Six Feet Under" (2001) episode, "The Rapture." This season she married then cheated on Jason Lee on "My Name Is Earl" (2005). She has been a regular or recurred on many television shows including "Malcolm in the Middle" (2000), "King of the Hill" (1997), "Yes, Dear" (2000), "Everwood" (2002), "Delta" (1992), and "Wonderfalls" (2004).

She has guest-starred in hundreds of hit television series such as "Friends" (1994), "The X-Files" (1993), "Angel" (1999), and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (2000). Grant starred in Tony Hillerman's A Thief of Time (2004) (TV), produced by Robert Redford (PBS), The Image (1990) (TV) with Albert Finney (HBO), Switched at Birth (1991) (TV) and Fall from Grace (1990) (TV) (NBC).

Grant has produced documentaries, comedy reviews, and television; she has run a theater company and raised money for schools. But what she really loves to do is act.
