Introduction	If you've seen the film "Almost Famous" you may remember one of the minor characters in the film (Vic Munoz, the die-hard Led Zeppelin fan played by Jay Baruchel) -- the film's writer/director, Cameron Crowe, based that character on me as a 15-year-old (Cameron and I were both teenagers during the mid-1970s when the film is set). ------- In 1995, Nike asked me to help them out with one of their "Just Do It" TV commercials. It's available for viewing by Googling "Ric Munoz Nike YouTube"
