Heroes

Heroes

While studying my craft of acting, I had a wonderful teacher, Rick Walters, define heroes as follows: 

A Hero is anyone who risks or sacrifices 

in an effort to aide or better someone else. 

I loved this definition because it was broad enough to encompass all of the real heroes in my life.  Parents, teachers, mentors - the list goes on and I'm sure you can name a few other  capacities that heroes have come into your life.

This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day in the United States - a time when we remember and honor the heroes who have served in the military.  I hope you'll take a moment to remember ALL of the heroes that have touched your life in some way (both military and civilian), and if you feel moved to do so, you can give them a shout-out here.

One of the heroes in my life is my brother, a man of truly great character.  He has overcome tremendous challenges to become one of the world's most fantastic fathers.  He is one of the best examples in my mind of courage, character, integrity, devotion, tenacity, and humor.  He continues to inspire me to be tougher than I am.  Thanks Sam.
