On Wednesday, Northwestern University announced a new walk-on for their 2015-16 basketball team – a freshman named Charlie Hall.
His name probably doesn’t mean a whole lot…until you look at his bio on Northwestern’s website.
Welcome to new @NUMensBball walk-on Charlie Hall. Yada, yada, yada…you might know his mother. http://t.co/S6qLrNTEpr pic.twitter.com/ks0XE8hmdp

Oh. His mom is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the star of Veep and one of the stars of Seinfeld.
But how’s that for a bio? “Mother is a seven-time Emmy Award winner”. You usually see things like “father was an all-Big Ten football player”, not “mother is a seven-time Emmy Award winner”!
Who knows if Hall will even see the court for Chris Collins’ team this year, but his background is pretty great.
