I'll never forget this guy! I competed against him in forensics (speech and debate) back in high school in 1994 when he was just 15! I remember he did an interpretation of August Wilson's "Fences." His talent was obvious even then--he won every competition he entered. I always wondered if he'd hit it big one day. Very nice, humble guy too.

Whoops, I meant 1990, not 1994.
