Columbia University commencement

As you may remember from an earlier post, Lost actor Matthew Fox was asked to be the keynote speaker at Columbia College Class Day at Columbia University. While Fox is an alumnus of the university, some graduating students were disappointed with the choice. The actor had the chance to win over his critics on Tuesday, and appears to have succeeded.

The speech itself was humorous, inspirational, and engaging. Fox even poked fun at a graduate who had told the student newspaper that she had never heard of him.

Video of Fox's speech is available after the jump.
