The last time I went to a Minnesota Twins game, a fun game was played on the big screen where random people in the stands were found who looked like celebrities. The screen would show a photo of Cameron Diaz and then BAM!, it would switch to someone in the stands that looked…similar.
After a few celebrity look-a-likes showed up on the big screen, the last celebrity photo they showed was Steve Zahn. Everyone knows him from roles he played in That Thing You Do! and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. When the camera panned to the person in the audience, it was actually the REAL Steve Zahn.
Not only was Steve born in Marshall, Minnesota but it was pretty well-known that he also had a cabin in Pine City.
