Vote: | I actually did start performing at a young age and yes, I did do stand-up when I was 9. I did seem to know that I wanted to act very early in my life. |

Vote: | I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends. |

Vote: | I do have very fond memories of the Orioles and Colts games at Memorial Stadium growing up. Even though Johnny Unitas played mostly before my time, he is my all-time favorite player from Baltimore. His legend is stamped into my consciousness, and the No. 19 has been, and always will be, my favorite. 'Nuff said. |

Vote: | One of the perks of being an actor is to get to meet athletes that you respect. Especially who played before my time. Brooks Robinson is one of those athletes; they just don't make them any nicer. |

Vote: | When I was a kid, my favorite Oriole was Rick Dempsey. I just loved the enthusiasm he played with, and his sense of humor. The Babe Ruth antics during the Fenway rain delay were the coolest thing in the world and, as a kid, it really connected with me. He always seemed like he was having so much fun. |
