Though Damon may not have needed a dialect coach, he did require assistance in becoming a believable double agent in the police force. As part of his training to play Colin Sullivan, he joined the Massachusetts State Police on a drug raid of a crack house...
...subtlest pretense. And in IA, both actors met the challenge. Lau smartly inverted his famously ingratiating disposition, for in the movie he is fooling everyone but himself, his mob patron - and the audience. While the Leung character gets to agitate privately about his isolation as an undercover agent, the Lau character never agonizes over the lie that is his life. Inside and out, he's smooth as a cyborg...
...Leverett House. Kacyvenski remains the highest-drafted NFL pick in Harvard history. The Seahawks dropped Kacyvenski to make room for backup running back Marquis Weeks. Regular Seattle running back Shaun Alexander sustained a foot injury on Sept. 24, triggering the move.

He worked in a medical school lab during the summer before his senior season...

Left largely untold is what happened next in Hughes' life: a breakdown, the suicide...
...Philadelphia Eagles. There his great play was again tempered by public lashings of his quarterback and criticizing his coaches. He made amends by playing while injured in the Super Bowl, but followed that up with a contract dispute with the Eagles, in part fueled by his equally outrageous agent Drew Rosenhouse. Things soured in Philly so much that he was then traded to the Cowboys. Things started fine there, but Owens missed most of the preseason with a hamstring injury, then broke a finger in the one game he has played in. He was capitalizing fine on his celebrity, putting...
