Well, all of these people are awesome, I’m sure. And they line up in three neat pairs and a trio. But if you’re not one of these people, and you’re reading this, and your birthday happens to be today too, there’s a very good chance that your track record in the entertainment business might equal or exceed any of theirs.

To wit: I’m giving the prize today to Brad Schacter, simply because he once played the voice of Schroeder in a Peanuts special.
