Keegan-Michael Key grew up in Detroit, went to college in the city and helped found one of Detroit’s most well-known Improv theaters (Planet Ant in Hamtramck, Michigan) before heading to Hollywood to star in the former Comedy Central hit show, “Key and Peele.”
Along the way, the 44-year-old never lost his Detroit Lions fandom, including vivid memories of Billy Sims karate-kicking a defender on a hurdle in a game -- something Key said he tried to emulate as a kid, getting him in trouble. After chatting with Key about the potential acting future of Lions wide receiver Lance Moore, we spoke about his Lions love – including his Hail Mary reaction and what he thinks of the Lions now.
