OK, I have an unfair advantage. I went to The School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, OH.
Off the top of my head: Sarah Jessica Parker (my sis & bro knew her), Nick Lachey, Carmen Electra (her name was Tara Patrick, she was in my french class and was very shy LOL), Rocky Caroll (on NCIS), Rebecca Budig (Greenlee on AMC).... I know there is more, but I can't think. I know there are lots of them that are on broadway too.

EDD: 9-20-14
Two that I know of are Dicky Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Alfred Fincher who is a NFL player for the Washington Redskins.
I went to a tiny Catholic high school in a predominately non Catholic area so the odds are against me. According to wikipedia Cormac McCarthy (author) went there which I did not know.
Ben went to a fancy private school that produced lots of CEOs and one guy is the founder of FedEX.

He lived in the next town over and didn't go to my high school but my mom's friend used to babysit Judd Nelson (Breakfast Club) and I graduated with his cousin.
Also a girl I graduated with, her brother is one of the creators of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Mine was too! If you've ever seen Road to Perdition with Tom Hanks then you've seen downtown Geneva. It's possibly one of the most exciting things to happen there. I can totally recognize the town in the movie too.

My Knot Bio My Blog
Erin Cahill, she was the pink power ranger for like 2 years. We were really good friends for a while in middle and high school - she was THE sweetest girl in school.
She was also on a star on the Fox show "Free Ride" (didn't last) and on an episode of Grey's, House, Castle, CSI and apparently several episodes of General Hospital. She was also on a tampon commerical - those ones with Mother Nature oh and an Applebees commercial. It's so fun seeing her on TV.
