Erin's Favorite Actor Profile
Here's an example of what I want you to post on your blog!
Zach Braff, one of my favorite actors, was born in 1975 in the state of New Jersey. He is the youngest of four children. After finishing high school in New Jersey, Zach attended Chicago's Northwestern University to do his undergraduate studies in film. Zach is best known for his role in the television series Scrubs, in which he plays the wacky medical resident Dr. John "J.D." Dorian. Recently, Zach wrote, directed, and starred in his first feature film called Garden State after the nickname of his own home state. In addition, he won a Grammy in February of 2005 for "Best Compilation Soundtrack For A Motion Picture" for this same movie. It was while he was creating the soundtrack that he met his current girlfriend, singer and songwriter Bonnie Somerville. He also briefly dated one of the movie'sother stars, Natalie Portman, who is known for her roles in films such as the new Star Wars Trilogy. It's too bad that Scrubs isn't on tv much here in Barranquilla!

For this assignment, you will need to look up information online about your favorite actor, singer, or other famous person. You will then write a profile of that person similar to the George Clooney profiles we worked on in class. Remember, YOU MAY NOT COPY AND PASTE DIRECTLY FROM THE INTERNET OR YOU WILL RECEIVE A FAILING GRADE ON THIS ASSIGNMENT!
