    Congrats! I am so happy for him!I am graduating myself this coming weekend! Yayyyyyyy good for him, at least he's doing good things by getting an education, something he can always fall back on in the event that he decides to walk away from acting.

    This is great! I'm planning to go to grad school, and he inspires me so much. It's rare to find an actor who wants to be as well-educated as he does. Very impressive!
