Oxon Hill native Aaron D. Spears stars in THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, chose acting over footballSpears was in his senior year at Delaware State University in Dover when the NFL’s New York Jets extended an invitation for him to try out at training camp.

Salon: BUNHEADS is TV’s strangest, sweetest new show
Writes Willa Pasking: "I can’t guarantee that you’ll like it — that depends almost entirely on your patience for watching hyper-stylized dialogue, just dialogue and more dialogue — but it is up to something unique and strange, having abandoned typical ideas about plot, stakes and forward momentum, and replaced them with talking, endless talking.
