Consider him a product of his environment. Michael Ealy might be based on the west coast permanently now, but he lights up when recalling days watching the Redskins with his late father on Sundays. Or when he remembers the way his friend reacted after the Redskins announced that Ealy would be announcing the team’s fourth-round draft pick at FedExField this Saturday.
Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Silver Spring, Md., Ealy still has his roots deeply tied to the area, including friends and family members, and plenty of Redskins memories to spare. Known primarily for his roles in The Perfect Guy and Think Like A Man, as well as his television work on Almost Human and Being Mary Jane, the acclaimed actor jumped at the chance to announce a draft pick for his favorite team on live television.
