“I know that guy,” I said as I watched the trailer for a TV show remake [1] (link via invadersteven [2]), “that's Bobby Cannavale [3]!”
[Bobby!] [4]
Then about halfway through—“Hey! I know that guy!” “That guy” being Joe Lo Truglio [5].
[Joe!] [6]
I'm excited because I went to high school with these jokers! Not only that, but I was also involved in Drama Class with the two of them, and for proof, I offer up the embarassing high school photo!

[Sorry about the poor quality of the scan, but that was the result of five attempts—when I scanned at any higher resolution (to get a bigger picture) the results looked horrible. The smaller the scan, the better the result, but it was hard to make out individual faces. This is the best I could accomplish. —Editor]
I can also say that the story about Bobby being suspended just before opening night [8] is more or less true, but hey, that's high school—you do stupid stuff.
