Matt Modine from my high school. I think he did some off Broadway, but he's done more movies. (Naomi Watts beats him up with her purse in Le Divorce)

Brian Stokes Mitchel graduated from a high school near me..I think. As did Sara Ramirez.

My friend's dance teacher at this summer academy was one of the main choreographers for the RENT movie. I had to find out about this AFTER shooting wrapped......

I didn't have any Broadway people from my high school, but I worked with two people who have been on Broadway. At Six Flags over Mid America I worked with Jason Daniely who is now married to Marin Mazzie, and was in Candide on Broadway, and I also worked with Kendra Kassebaum, the current Glinda on tour, and was on Broadway in ASsassins.
John Goodman went to school in this area, and John McDaniel, Rosie's musical director went to school in this area. Scott Bakula went to school in the area also. Met his parents when I was in a production of Romance/Romance. They said I did a good job but were partial to Scotts performance

Very few students bother to graduate from the school where I teach. Even fewer go on to any success.

I did makeup for the high school production of Pippin with Hugh Panero. He played Louis. It was an all boys school so the girls were imported from my high school.

Most of the grads from my school go into film or TV. The few who have done stage work on Broadway include June Lockhart, Myrna Loy, Elizabeth Montgomery, and Candace Bergen.

A few non-stage actors: Shirley Temple, Maggie Gyllenhall, Danica McKeller and (lowers head in shame) Tori Spelling.

There also were a lot of daughters of actors, including daughters of Richard Pryor, Richard Basehart, Charles Bronson, and Tom Bosley.
