I really like Terry Crews. He seems like a very upstanding guy, and he's a real Renaissance man. In addition to the obvious physical talents, he is also a great comedic actor, an amazing artist, and a flautist.

Gonna make a shout out to a hometown hero, Mary McLeod Bethune.

Mary Jane McLeod Bethune (born Mary Jane McLeod; July 10, 1875 – May 18, 1955) was an American educator, stateswoman, philanthropist, humanitarian and civil rights activist best known for starting a private school for African-American students in Daytona Beach, Florida. She attracted donations of time and money, and developed the academic school as a college. It later continued to develop as Bethune-Cookman University. She also was appointed as a national adviser to President Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of what was known as his Black Cabinet. She was known as "The First Lady of The Struggle" because of her commitment to gain better lives for African Americans.

He's an absolute genius when it comes to astronomy, but people keep prompting him for comment on things he doesn't actually know anything about. If only he'd know when not to say anything he'd look as smart as he evidently is. Granted the media would probably just find a different go to science guy if he's not cooperative enough, so maybe occasionally looking like a fool isn't too high a price to pay for getting people interested in science.
