This actor was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the word for the 23, Common.
I first saw him in Hell on Wheels, a show about the building of the railroad across the United States. It was an interesting historical account of construction of the rail system and it also told the story of a soldier's life after the Civil War. My friend got to meet Common when he visited my city and I was so jealous when I saw her photo of him on Facebook.
I love TV and movies. As I say in my profile, Netflix is one of my favorite inventions of this century. Hulu is a close second. My DVR is usually around 90% full and I'm desperate to get it cleared before the Hallmark Christmas movies start airing this weekend.
TV and movies are something my sister and I have in common. Talking about the week's episodes is what keeps us occupied as we round the track at the gym. I find that an obsession with Hallmark movies is a great conversation starter and finding out that we have the love of those in common helped me make a new friend at church.
So whether it is an actor, a TV show, or a feel-good movie, finding something in common is one of my favorite ways to connect with people. It's not messy like politics or touchy like religion, it's something that's fairly positive that can lead to some lifelong friendships. And it's a great way to discover new TV and movies, because like I said, I love both of those.
