I like this kid, so much more than Brett Favre

Read the NY Times Arts and Leisure article Talk About Your Spring Awakening for this quote from 17-year-old Hampton Fluker, a former football star at his high school who decided to dedicate his extra curricular time to being an actor:

“You’re never going to change someone’s perception of the world by running a football.”

Brett. Give it up. Give this kid a call. Maybe he can give you some drama lessons and you can get on with your life so a bunch of fat Midwesterners can get on with theirs.

2 smart alecky remarks:

As a former ITS member myself, President of my high school troupe for two years, in fact, I really loved this article. I thought it was great how the reporter started out so skeptical, but was really won over by the heart and dedication of these kids. And I think that as long as organizations like ITS survive, the Theater has a fighting chance.
