Tom Brady talked about his award-winning 8th grade acting career in a WEEI interview

Years before he was leading the Patriots to wins, Tom Brady helped his school drama program get a victory of its own.

“You know actually when I was in eighth grade, I was in the school play, and I won the award for Best Drama Student in the school,” said Brady in a Monday morning interview on WEEI’s “Mut & Callahan.”

“It was the Wizard of Oz, and I was the Cowardly Lion,” said Brady. “The lion’s a pretty big character in that particular show.”

“And I had a great time doing it,” Brady continued.
