Every once in awhile I see people from my High School on TV, it’s an odd feeling. Here is a list of some who have made a name for themselves from my high school, Klein High School in Spring, Texas. Keep in mind, I’ve kept up with none of these people.
Matt Bomer
Matt went to church with us at Northwest Bible Church, now he stars in the TV show, White Collar on USA network. Past roles include the main character on Traveler (ABC), TV show Chuck, All My Children, Guiding Light, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and upcoming movie called Nashville.

That’s a lot of people. I’ve only heard of Lyle Lovett and Derek Webb. The only sort-of well known person from my high school is Melvin Bullitt, who plays for the Colts. But George was in the same class as the current Bachelor!
