Note: I've gotten most of my Swans cast info from magazine articles written in 1992, so I realize that some of it may not be valid anymore and apologize for any mistakes. If you notice any inconsistencies in these bios, please email me so I can fix them. Also, for larger versions of these cast pics, check out the Photo Album section. I'd like to thank G-Child for reducing the sizes of most of the cast pics that appear here.
