NEW YORK ? Matthew Fox '89CC, former Lion wide receiver and star of the ABC hit "Lost", gave the Class Day address to the Columbia College Class of 2007 on May 15.

Fox, who plays defensive coordinator Red Dawson in "We Are Marshall", spoke on the importance of going beyond "safe choices" in order to write one's own story in life.

"Live for your own passions, not the aspirations others have for you," Fox noted. "Nobody should apologize for following their passion."
