Rather serendipitously, I passed by Gregory Peck's resting place today, in the mausoleum of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, while leading a field trip through downtown L.A..

And while any list of alumni is going to be selective, to be fair we must admit that Cal has seen its fair share of male child actors, too: Jerry "The Beaver" Mathers and Jeff "Chunk from the Goonies" Cohen. But let's also not forget that the Incredible Hulk (!)--or at least his alter ego Bill Bixby--went to Cal.
