So, last month, Mom called to tell me that Hallmark Hall of Fame was presenting a movie of the week about a male elementary school teacher. Well, being one myself, I set my DVR to record it and finally got around to watching it today. It's called "Front of the Class" and it's the true story of Brad Cohen, a man with Tourette's Syndrome who went on 24 job interviews before being hired as a 2nd grade teacher in Georgia. Yes, it's a little bit sappy, but Brad is played by an up and comer named James Wolk who is not only easy on the eyes....ok VERY easy on the eyes,....but extremely talented. He has a theatre background and I'm hoping we see more of him on the stage or screen. I actually think that for his role in "Front of the Class," he may be nominated for an Emmy, and he'd deserve it. I'll include a few pics. Check him out.

I saw some clips from this when it first aired and he did look really good. May he have a long and successful career!

I saw the end of this film and liked it. It was not too sappy, actually, considering the subject matter.

Wolk did a fine job and is quite the cutie.
