I was under the impression that JB lived in Aurora, Illinois when his family was in the States. (Aurora was, some of you may remember, the home town of Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World...and, no, there never was a real Stan Mikita's Donut Shop!) His bio in Wikipedia mentions that he attended Joliet West HS where he started his acting and singing pursuits...I can attest to the fact that Joliet West is a BIG speech and theatre school, having competed against them in forensics and contest play during my own high school career.
