“I grew up in Glen Ellyn, which is about 20 miles west of Chicago. I attended Glenbard South High School and University of Illinois. I didn't study acting until I moved to Los Angeles after college, but the fact that I was raised in the Chicago area set the stage for all of my comedic and acting sensibilities.” FactsSchoolActingStudyStageCollegeGrewGrew UpHigh SchoolAreasMovedWestSouthRaisedUniversityMilesLos AngelesChicagoSensibilityComedicIllinois Author:Ryan McPartlin

“My first banjo? My mother's sister, my aunt, lived about a mile from where we did, and she raised some hogs. And she had - her - the hog - the mother - they called the mother a sow - of a hog. And she had some pigs. Well, the pigs were real pretty, and I was going to high school and I was taking agriculture in school. And I sort of got a notion that I'd like to do that, raise some hogs. And so my aunt had this old banjo, and my mother told me, said, which do you want, the pig or a banjo? And each one of them's $5 each. I said, I'll just take the banjo.” WantFirstsWellsSaidRealSchoolMotherHigh SchoolRaisesRaisedNotionMilesPigsAgricultureAuntHogBanjosGoing To High School Author:Ralph Stanley
“It also helps that what Dan Slott is doing with Peter Parker in the comics has elevated him to something else, so that Miles Morales at the moment is the more traditional Spider-Man figure in the universe: the high school student trying to balance high school and superheroics, and he can't catch a break. That was Peter's role, but it's not his role anymore, and it's Miles' role. That was given to me, and it's pretty cool.” MenTryingMomentsHelpingSchoolUniverseGivenRolesBreakFiguresStudentsBalanceHigh SchoolMilesTraditionalPeterSpidersMoraleSpider ManHigh School StudentsPeter Parker Author:Brian Michael Bendis
“There wasn't a funeral per se. I buried [Gilda Radner] 3 miles from her house that she had bought just shortly before we met. It was an old house, old colonial house, 1734. And there were just a few friends at the funeral, a nonsectarian cemetery. And an old friend of hers from junior high school or high school was the rabbi in town, and he performed the service.” SchoolHouseMetsHigh SchoolTownsMilesBuriedFuneralJuniorsOld FriendsCemeteryJunior HighRabbiFew FriendsOld HousesHigh School Junior Author:Gene Wilder
“I rode horseback three miles each way to get to high school, and in bad weather it was a problem sometimes to make my eight o'clock class on time.

“Teenagers are like atoms when they're moving at hundreds of miles an hour and bouncing off each other. Everybody's got such a crazy hormonal drive and reacting to each other differently and getting upset over little things.

“High School: Oh, man. This is where boys and girls go from tweens to teens and become complicated and cruel. Girls play sick mind games; boys try to pull each other's penises off and throw them in the bushes. If you can, buy the most expensive jeans in a two-hundred-mile radius of your town and wear them on your first day. If anyone asks how you could afford them say that your father is the president of Ashton Kutcher. When they are like, 'Ashton Kutcher has a president?' answer, 'Yes.' Everyone will be in awe of you and you won't have to go through a lot of pain and cat fights.” IfsMenTryingMindFirstsTwoPlaySchoolPainGirlFightingAsksFatherGamesPresidentAnswersBoysHundredHigh SchoolCatSickTownsComplicatedMilesExpensiveAweTeensJeansBoy And GirlOur TownMind GamesRadiusTweens Author:Eugene Mirman
