Keanu Reeves: a Tribute to Ohio State's Least-Remembered Quarterback

Keanu Reeves is one of the greatest actors of this or any generation.

His command of body language, facial expressions and voice are flawless. He is the toast of the town in Hollywood, and his success is richly deserved. Yet his acting success has overshadowed how he got his start – as an Ohio State Buckeye.

Not one but two of Reeves' documentaries have made reference to Reeves' time in Columbus: The Replacements, a gritty examination of Reeves' career as a replacement quarterback for an NFL team on strike, and Point Break, a light-hearted look at when he infiltrated a group of surfers who robbed banks.
