Priest Holmes
Holmes never met his father but was instead raised in San Antonio, Texas by his mother and stepfather, who was an Air Force technician at Kelly Air Force base for twenty years. Holmes, over time, developed his own unique running style, which served him well as a running back. He played for the University of Texas and was named MVP of the Sun Bowl for his junior year. After college, he played in the NFL for eleven years, first for the Ravens, then for the Chiefs.
Trey Songz
When he was seven years old, Trey’s mother married a US Army serviceman, which meant that he spent the next seven years traveling around the country to various military bases before the family returned home to Petersburg. His stepfather was able to introduce Trey to producer Troy Taylor, which resulted in Songz releasing his first album in 2004. That album, “I Gotta Make It,” sold 40,000 copies in its first week. Since then, he has sold over twenty-five million records worldwide.
Mykelti Williamson
Williamson’s father was an Air Force NCO, but he began working in show business at the age of nine. He’s probably best known for his roles in “Forrest Gump,” “Con Air,” and “Justified,” but he’s appeared in many different films and TV shows, both as the star and as a supporting actor.
