(Brother?) Will Forte
 

I was watching Jimmy Kimmel Live last night (09/05/2007) and saw his interview with Will Forte, an actor/writer. Here's a picture of him:

...and here's a link to his bio:

Anyway, I've never heard of him as being a brother until he mentioned it on the show. The interview talked about his fraternity experience for a total of 5 and a half minutes before the two began discussing Will's upcoming movie, "Brothers Solomon." He mostly talked about drinking and blacking out, but nonetheless, he mentioned his membership with Lambda Chi Alpha at UCLA (even threw out a Delta Pi shout-out!). In fact, he had a bunch of brothers in the front row of the audience with his mom and aunt.

So, I wonder why I've never heard of him before with relations to our fraternity. I looked him up in the electronic alumni directory, and sure enough, an "Orville Willis Forte" (his birth name) graduated from UCLA in 1992. That matches the dates he gave during the interview (on the discussed drinking pictures), so it must be him. Why haven't we heard of this? He's been around for a while, so we should probably throw him up on our Wikipedia page, and stuff. That chapter's closed now, but otherwise we could remind that Zeta. If someone knows how to YouTube that interview and provide a link, it would be helpful...otherwise, I'll just keep it stored in my DVR and show it to my chapter here at uMiami (see my other post concerning fraternity representation HERE).

As luck would have it, it's already posted on YouTube.

I think the horrified look on his Mom's face says it all. I've actually seen that same look on my own Mom a few times when I tell Lambda Chi stories.:o

Like you, I never heard of him. But since I have seen interviews in the C & C that is nothing new that he may be unknown as there were others who I did not know.:)

Ok, Are you guys missing that he is a regular on Saturday Night Live? Or just talking around it.

Thats awesome .... i had no idea he was a brother. As for what he said, don't get your panties in a bunch, it was a bit. he was just trying to get laughs. he obviously knows the meaning of brotherhood he had like 15 in the front row.

Here is the youtube link to the show...plus his IMDB credits....
