The goodwill continued at the season ending episode held in the Academy auditorium. Sizemore and Mott bewitched the crowd with their friendliness and good humor. It was the actor, however, who kept the event energized with his funny comments and genial disposition.

At one point during the show his character was released from a jail cell by the county sheriff. After the scene was over, Sizemore jumped up from his seat, pumped his fist and screamed, “Nailed it!,” as the crowd erupted in laughter.

With a flight back to Los Angeles scheduled for Monday afternoon, no one would have faulted Sizemore for sleeping in late and taking it easy before his drive to the airport, but the actor had other plans in mind.

First, Sizemore showed up at Arcadia Valley High School where he took part in an impromptu assembly with students. He brought several of the young people up who had expressed an interest in acting and offered them a few lessons on the craft.

Possibly one of the most impressive moments of his appearance was when Sizemore realized his 9-year-old son Gunner was calling him on his cellphone. As he prepared to answer the call, he told the students, “I’m sorry, but I always answer the phone when it’s my son. He’s the most important thing in my life.”
