Mini project #4: Kristofer Dorsey

The person who I think should become famous is my best friend from home, Sean Albright. I've told him that and he basically told me the same thing. Since I've known him and since he has known me, people have expected nothing but the best from us. To me, he has everything in his sight that could make him famous and if he actually wanted to be famous, he could. He has everything to be a star.
The first thing that could lead him to fame is his personality, humor, looks, and presences. Around the age of 16, he started to take up comedy because everybody told him he was funny. He took his personality and his ability to make things on the fly makes him really likable. At Old Dominion University, He is a communication major and due to his networking, he received a job at one of the hugest Hip Hop and R&B radio stations in Southern Virginia. He took the job and was just an intern for awhile. Using his personality and humor, he took that and became an on-air personality for certain segments. They didn't even try to censor while he was on-air and allowed him to say whatever he wanted, even though he kept it PG to PG-13. Even one he was done, they asked him to come back the next year after he graduated to work for the radio station. Once his time was done, his small fame allowed him to have his on radio show at Old Dominion’s station. He also was a correspondent on a television show on ODU-TV. I believed that if he wanted to be on a reality show, he could be. He says whatever is on his mind, funny, charming, the women love him, and he's just likable. He could be a star through this venue or try the other two he is good at.
Sean is also a good writer and rapper. It surprises me how good he is, because of the fact that he hardly does it. All his songs have great hooks, catchy lyrics, and good beats. He already has a fan base and with the group we have together, Damacus Steel, people have asked when we were going to do another CD. Using his networking skills at the radio station, he could start his way to stardom in the music business. The writing skills that Sean has could allow him to be a force in the music industry as a writer for other artist. With the right buzz and people behind him, he could make it there.
The last thing that could give him there is that he is superb basketball player. Back home on the basketball court, he is a 'street' legend. People know him for his ability to blow pass anybody on the court and for his 52' inch vertical. The ability to jump that high and be 6'4" allowed him to dunks that were unbelievable (360s, once a 540, and the Vince Carter "cookie jar'). He could do everything on the court; but he is the leader and the scorer of the team. Once he got to college, his jumper knee stopped him from playing with the team. Now that he is graduating, the team wants him to come back as a Grad student which would make him able to play for Old dominion. I believe if he had one year he could take over as top scorer in the CAA and become possibly a draft pick in the NBA.
In the end, my friend Sean has many options he could choose to become famous. I always said that if I was the first to become famous, I would love to create a reality show with him, my family, and I. The crazy and funny personalities that we have would be entertaining television. He posses everything to be a star and I wouldn’t be shock to see him on the top.
