I know most people love Sean Astin because of Lord of Rings but I will always love him because of Rudy.  In 6th grade Rudy was my most favorite movie (I was a bit of a jock) and to this day I cry at the last sequence of the film.  Even though I know it is cheesy the tears come every time and I can’t help but smile as he runs out onto that field:

Tears. Now. On my face.

So Happy Birthday Sean! In honor of Sean, Rusy and Notre Dame, be sure to takepart with Gibault, a Notre Dame supported charity that helps troubled teens.
