Detail view an oaken casket lid containing a preserved Norse giant’s heart. (21th century)

The inscription on the casket is written in old Norse runes and reads…“Behold! Within this casket lies the heart of the fierce and terrible giant known as Hrungnir, slain this day by Fafrd the Red whose bravery and cunning shall live forever!”

David Boreanaz (‘91) was this year’s commencement speaker at Ithaca College

(speech starts at 4:40)

My search for that authentic existence … took me on a journey from a parking attendant to a house painter to a props department assistant to the guy who hands out towels in a sports club and a guy who drives a truck and tries to sell gourmet food door to door. … Every day I would get off [my sister’s couch in L.A.], put on a suit, grab my briefcase packed with 200 resumes … and I would drive to studio back lots. I would go on in and I would act as if I owned the place. I’d hang on the sets, get unintentional cameos in the crowd shots, and when they called lunch, I’d follow the pack to craft services and I would eat.”

Boreanaz told the graduates to persevere. “You’re going to make mistakes — make them big. Make huge mistakes, learn from them. You’re going to get sidetracked. Everyone gets sidetracked. You might even get canceled; don’t take it personally. Just get back out there. Because you know what? If you make it through season two, they might even give you a spin-off.” (x)

APRIL: I’m going to do impressions.
EMCEE: Oh! Celebrity impressions! That’s… that’s wild. Wild stuff.
APRIL: Yep. Ummm… this is an impression of my sister. “Hi, I’m Natalie. I love Ritalin and have low self-esteem.” (One of the older judges starts cracking up.) Thank you. This is an impression of my boss, Leslie Knope. “Women should do everything! Check out my 4-color pen! Hey everybody, listen up while I talk about some really, really important stuff! Parks, parks, parks, parks, parks, parks, Michelle Obama, parks, gay penguins, parks, sugar, parks!”
LESLIE: She got me! She got me good.
