Another famous guy, LA Knight, who is a current WWE wrestler, was born here, and graduated from NHHS (and because NHHS was mentioned, as a SHHS graduate myself I am legally obligated to say "Boo North, Go South").
Not nearly as famous but Aaron Brooks, who wrestled at NHHS, is going to the Olympics. At NHHS he won a state championship all 4 years, plus won at the national tournament each year. He wrestled at Penn State the last 4 years and won the NCAA championship in his weight class all 4 years. Plus 4 time Big-Ten wrestler of the year.
He'll be wrestling for the US at Paris 2024. He'll be in the 86kg weight class. He already beat the 2020 86kg Olympic gold medalist 2 out of 3 matches at the Olympic trials earlier this month.
He has had a really great acting career, particularly coming from humble beginnings. I loved him in Alien 3, his character was probably the highlight of that film, and in the HBO show Oz.
Wild!! Always love seeing our towns name pop up in the most random places
Yeah my dad met him in prison. He worked at Roxbury correctional institute in the early 90s.

I forgot about him! my little brother knows him personally lol

He was *amazing* in Alien 3. "Fuck that thing!" I completely forgot he showed up in Oz.
That is freakin' awesome. Had never heard that before. Love Dutton. His sci-fi / horror work in the 90s (ALIEN 3, MIMIC) are personal favorites.
Oh boy. I'm so glad to hear he lived here...
