^^So true. Blair Underwood (LA Law) was supposed to graduate in 1985 or 6 but left about halfway through (I don't think he was cut). I remember all of us watching the Cosby Show on a Thursday night in the big tv room in MG because he was getting a big break as the boyfriend of one of the daughters. The Thursday lineup on NBC was full of Tartan dramats. Cheers (Ted Danson '73) was on as was Hill Street Blues (tons of '60s grads) and LA Law (more 60s grads and of course Blair).
However, cutting is not unusual for drama departments. I was reading on a college admissions website that drama departments at several schools do that.
I find it interesting that there are drama-specific CMU Alumni Clans in both LA and NYC. I wonder if the dramat alums ever associate with the rest of us?
