Ever watched the film 'Dead Poets Society'? A little ancient, i'll admit, being a 1989 film and all. I watched the show as part of my English lesson in sec 4 (those in english class band 1 2004 a.k.a. Aspire should remember the movie). Definately a classic.

The long and short of it is that an English teacher at a 1950s boys' school trying to inspire his students to overcome their reluctance to make changes in their lives, while stiring up their interests in poetry and literature (almost directly lifted up from Wikipedia: click here for the Wiki article).

Well, my main point of bringing up this film is the actors. Should i say really handsome actors? Well, in my opinion, yes. I distinctly remembering my teacher, Mr. A. Wong asking us (as in the girls) if one of the reasons why we enjoyed the film was because the guys were handsome. Uh huh, sure. Then he proccedded to say that since the film is really old, those handsome guys were like probably dead?

Which brings me to the main point of my main point: I accidentally found out that the lead actor is still alive and kicking. Oh wait, the main character is played by Robin Williams. I mean the other character, the one who **SPOILER** wants to act instead of study medicine like his Dad wants him to do. The handsome young guy who shoots himself with his father's revolver after acting in a play. **SPOILER ENDS** Yes, remember him now?

The actor's name is Robert Sean Leonard. Probably doesn't ring a bell for anyone. Does House from Fox ring a bell? You know, the hospital show whose lead character is Dr. House who walks with limp, uses a cane, and even more scarastic than... who knows? This Robert guy plays Dr. Wilson, the closest friend of Dr. House. If you know what i'm talking about, you've probably followed or at least watched the series.

Well, anyway, he's still good looking at 37. Yes, i know, a little old for me. Just wanted to defuse the notion created by my teacher that he's dead. He's just 37!!
