Sherman is a jolly, kind hearted science teacher at Welman College. "You know it's funny how you get used to certain things. You get used to being overweight. You even get used to people making fun of you. Somewhere along the line I got used to being alone. I just don't want to be alone anymore." "Nutty Professor" movie Eddie Murphy Age: 35
