He was a valedictorian in high school and has a degree in social studies from Harvard University. |
93 | * MemeAcknowledgement: He knows of and finds the memes of his [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dean-norris-reaction contrasting smiling/frowning face]] hilarious. When playing ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' with [=QuackityHQ=], [[https://youtu.be/3TWvMWxqoaU?t=313 he saw the meme as a skin and laughed his ass off]]. |
94 | * TypeCasting: He's been typecast as a cop or soldier for most of his career, Hank Schrader in ''Series/BreakingBad'' being the most notable of these. |
