Collin Moulton
Moulton LavaIf you think it takes guts to become a cage fighter, try doing stand-up comedy for a living. Ask Collin Moulton, he’ll tell you, he’s a veteran of both. Holding a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Moulton has no fear when entering the octagon for a mixed-martial arts match. But he’s also just as comfortable doing battle with audiences while on stage in clubs across the country, throwing jokes at them so fast they can't help but submit to laughter. Windell D. Middlebrooks
If you watch the Super Bowl, or have caught the occasional beer commercial, chances are you've seen actor Windell D. Middlebrooks playing the Miller High-Life delivery guy who’s on a mission to make sure only places that promote living the high life are allowed to serve it. Well, you'll be seeing a lot more of Windell in the coming weeks, only now he's traded in his High Life uniform for a lab coat. Middelbrooks stars in the new ABC drama "Body of Proof," which premiers Tuesday, April 26th at 10p. Though this is his first starring role on a series, Middlebrooks has been a recurring character on "Scrubs," "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and Disney's "The Suite Life on Deck." Bill Walton
Throw It Down, Big ManLove him or hate him, Bill Walton has become one of the most recognized voices in basketball broadcasting. Not only is he among the more opinionated commentators, his “throw it down” catchphrase has become a staple of the sport. Before becoming a legend in the broadcast booth, Walton made a name for himself on the court as one of the greatest centers in basketball history, both in college and professional play. During his three years in college, Walton won a number of NCAA awards and individual records and was also a part of the UCLA team that won 88 straight games along with a couple of National Championships. In the pros, he was a number one overall pick in the draft, won two NBA titles (with Portland and Boston), was the league MVP in 1978, and is a member of the NBA Hall-of-Fame. Over the course of his life Bill Walton has suffered numerous back issues, but most of those have been corrected thanks to the people at the Better Way Back organization. Steve Poltz
You wouldn’t think a guy that writes songs like Dog Doo Blues #48 and I Killed Walter Matthau would be the same guy who discovered folk princess Jewel, but singer/songwriter Steve Poltz is both. Poltz, the co-author of Jewel’s smash hit single You Were Meant For Me, began his music career as a member of the The Rugburns, but after releasing three albums with the group, Steve decided it was time to pursue a solo career. Not one to conform to a single genre, Poltz writes songs that cover the entire musical spectrum. He can sing a beautiful folk tune then turn around and sing a number of 46-second songs that he’d used as outgoing messages on his answering machine (such as the very popular, Sugar Booger). Poltz has recorded a number of solo albums including his most recent release, Dreamhouse. Follow Steve on Twitter and Facebook.
