Colin Egglesfield was recently yesterday in a piece by an ABC news affiliate in Illinois. Here's an excerpt:

It was homecoming week in Crete for one of the stars of All My Children. Colin Egglesfield, who has played Josh Madden for three years, was honored by Marian Catholic High School.

A Marian Catholic alumnus, the actor attended the school's annual Hall of Fame Dinner on Thursday and received the Fine Arts Distinguished Achievement award for his work in print, film and television. Earlier in the day, he visited students in theater and mass media classes, toured the school, and visited with former teachers and coaches.

Born in Farmington Hills, Michigan and raised in Crete, Egglesfield attended Illinois Wesleyan University where he played football before transferring to the University of Iowa and graduating with a degree in biology/pre-medicine.
