No love for Blair Underwood?
Okay, so apparently he was born in Tacoma, but it appears he was there for maybe a couple of weeks. He's a Petersburg native who started acting at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

Did a little searching, and it appears that Furst, Bullock, and Beatty...
...graduated from high school in VA. Furst attended VCU, Bullock ECU, Beatty NW, so none of them chose VT.
