It has come to our attention in the last two days that two people currently occupying the television landscape are "people we used to know."First, Wendell Middlebrooks, the star of the new series of Miller High Life commercials (here and here). These ads are great, and Wendell is hilarious.
Secondly, Kristen Bush, who was featured in this year's season premier of Law and Order: SVU. NPH didn't see the episode, but we have it on good authority that she was great.
Let us simply say, as our own claim to fame, that we shared a small college stage with both of these rising dramatist (Bush was actually in high school at the time). This we did in the shadow of someone else who has since gone on to our same vocation. Since the public is surely dying to know: Wendell was in a horrendous rendition of The Winter's Tale with NPH, and he played the guy who gets eaten by a bear; Kristen was the lead in a very Waiting-For-Guffman-esque staging of The Crucible with NPH, where she played the female lead and we had a bit part.
It's really fun to see these two have this kind of success. NPH wishes them both much success, and will be watching their rise with much interest.
