Brian Jeffrey Krause (born February 1, 1969) is an American actor and screenwriter. He is best known for his role as Leo Wyatt on the WB Network TV series Charmed from 1998 to 2006.
Born in El Toro, California to Alice and Jeff Krause, he is the younger of their two children. His older brother is named Patrick. Brian grew up in Southern California and took his first acting class with R. J. Adams at The Actors Workshop while in junior high as a way to avoid a bully in physical education class. In his teens, he studied karate, and attended El Toro High School, graduating in 1987. He continued his education at Orange Coast College where he played and lettered in soccer, scoring four goals as a midfielder and forward.
Krause landed his first role in 1989 as a student in the TV series TV 101. He then starred in the made-for-TV-movie Match Point, the CBS Schoolbreak Special "American Eyes", and An American Summer, before landing his first major role as Richard Lestrange in Return to the Blue Lagoon. He was a co-star in the Bandit series prior to his most notable role of Leo in the WB Network series Charmed (1998–2006). Brian originally auditioned for the role of Andy Trudeau, but was cast as Piper's handyman love interest, Leo Wyatt. Due to budget restrictions in the 8th season, he only appeared in the first 10 episodes, and in the last 2 episodes. After Charmed, he has appeared in made-for-TV-movies and TV shows such as Mad Men and The Closer. Currently, he is portraying a minor character in the videogame L.A. Noire, lending his voice and image to it.
Holly Marie Combs (born December 3, 1973) is an American film and television actress and producer whose roles have included a portrayal in Charmed as Piper Halliwell and another in Picket Fences, where she received a Young Artist Award for her role, as Kimberly Brock. She now stars in the ABC Family original series Pretty Little Liars as Ella Montgomery.
Combs was born in San Diego, California. At the time of her birth, her mother, Lauralei Combs (née Berckhem), was sixteen years old and her father was seventeen. Combs' biological parents married, but the two split up after two years, feeling they were too young to make a marriage work. While Combs was learning to walk, she hit her head on a marble table, resulting in a scar over her right eyebrow. She went through many different homes with her mother, often having very little privacy, while her mother attempted to pursue an acting career. When Combs was seven, she and her mother moved to New York City. She was 12 when her mother married her stepfather. In New York City, Combs attended Beekman Hill Elementary and then the Professional Children's School.

A man receives He prays "God, take my life" Now his eyes can see
[Chorus:] Just a touch Of His hand And you'll be healed - you will
A hand is healed A finger grows in place A little of God's grace
A man walks Not prisoned by a chair God can hear our prayers
[Chorus]
A family lives God can heal the pain Divorce is just insane
