Robert Sean Leonard (aka Neil Perry, Dr. Wilson)
It started in the spring (lets say April) of 2006. I was leading the Jr. High ministry, spending Mondays working at the church. Jordan was the student ministries intern and House MD was half way through its second season on Fox. Late one Tuesday night while watching my favorite new show, one of the characters really stuck out.
I know it’s that guy from Dead Poet’s Society, but his mannerisms, and some 
of the faces he makes remind me of someone, I told myself, but I just couldn’t place him. The next Monday, as I sat in my office looking out of the window into the library, (yes my windows looked out into the library, I know, it’s weird, lets move on) I saw Jordan walk in and it hit me. Of course, it’s Jordan, Jordan is Wilson/Neil (that guy from Dead Poet’s Society). They have similar facial features and expressions, and some of the mannerism similarities are uncanny (side note, I can’t say or type the word uncanny without thinking about the X-Men. They have complete ownership of it in my mind). To this day, Paul (Bill S. Preston, Esq.) gets a little creeped out while watching House and noticing how similar their mannerisms are.
As one might imagine, I was fairly please with myself at making such a profound discovery. I quickly shared my findings with anyone that would listen, and insisted they check it out for themselves. Come the next Monday, almost everyone reported back that there was definitely something there, everyone that is except the man himself. Jordan was having none of it. “I don’t look anything like him”, “I don’t act like him”, “no, not even a little”, he would tell me. I pleaded my case, but to no avail.
Weeks went by and he wouldn’t budge on the issue. Despite his refusal to except what was clearly before, and on his face, (I know, I’m sorry, that was really lame, It’s been a long week) I won (at least to my mind) the disagreement when Sean (his brother) reported that he had presented the idea to his Mom while 
watching an episode of House and that she was on my side. “Sweet Victory” I declared, how could he argue with his mother? Who could know him better? I thought about jumping up and quoting Keating, “Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? … Carpe … hear it? – - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.“ But I didn’t and as far as I know, he still hasn’t given in.
There are at least minor similarities between Jordan and Neil. Both sought/are seeking after fairly unconventional careers. Neil with the theater and Jordan with his Cello. Both love the arts. I can almost hear Jordan saying Neil’s lines, “If I were ever going to buy a desk set, twice, I would probably buy this one. Both times! In fact, its shape is… it’s rather aerodynamic, isn’t it?” or “Oh my! Well, I wouldn’t worry. You’ll get another one next year.”
The obvious difference being that Jordan has incredibly supportive parents and Neil’s dad was, to put it nicely, a tyrant. So as Neil was left only quoting them, Jordan continues to peruse Thoreau’s famous words, “I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.”
Darn it Neil, the name is Nuwanda!
From the moment I met him with his (then) super blond, really curly hair, I (and many others I later found) suspected that Paul was in fact the second coming of one half of
