He went to school in Connecticut, grew up in the era of Ella Grasso, the Hartford Whalers and tolls on Interstate 95. He swam in the Sound, rocked out at the Hartford Civic Center and delivered pizzas in a leafy suburb. Now he’s one of the most sought after actors on television and is the star of a new television show that some are predicting will be one of the big hits of the fall season.

I recently had the chance to talk with Michael Weatherly, who grew up in Fairfield and now stars in the new show “Bull,” on CBS and WFSB on Tursdays at 9.   He talked about life in Connecticut, and his Nutmegger youth.   We have his chat and more embarrassing old pictures courtesy his alma mater,  Fairfield Country Day School right here: http:http://www.wfsb.com/story/33143578/star-of-new-cbs-show-bull-is-from-connecticut
