ANTONY COSTA

A former member of hit U.K. boy band Blue, Antony Costa went on to become a solo artist, television presenter, and reality television show player. He also appeared in dramatic roles on British television. In 2006, Costa dropped a solo single, the Top 20 "Do You Ever Think of Me," followed by a debut album. The record's lukewarm reception -- and failure to chart -- led to severed ties with his label, Globe Records, leading Costa to world of musical theater. He landed the role of Mickey Johnstone in the musical Blood Brothers, and toured with the stage production Boogie Nights. A new album was planned for release in 2008. ~ Chris True
