Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, the stars of Bill & Ted Face the Music, made a surprise appearance for San Dimas High School’s virtual graduation. The school, located in the greater Los Angeles area, is the one Bill (Winter) and Ted (Reeves) attend in the first two movies in trilogy, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. The first two movies in the series were released in 1989 and 1991 respectively and became cult hits, despite mixed critical reviews. The characters also went on to feature in an animated series, a short-lived breakfast cereal, and video games.
A third entry in the series, titled Bill & Ted Face the Music, has been talked about since 2010, and production finally got underway in 2019. Both Reeves and Winter will return to their iconic roles, along with William Sadler, who appeared as the Grim Reaper in Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. This outing follows the titular pair, now middle-aged and with two daughters (played by Samara Weaving and Brigette Lundy-Paine), as they attempt to fulfill their destiny of creating a song that will save the universe. Like the first two movies, some of the action in Bill & Ted Face the Music is set in San Dimas High School, and the production filmed scenes there.
Today, San Dimas High School revealed Reeves and Winter made a special video message for the class of 2020’s virtual graduation. In a tweet, the school posted a link to a 45-second video that shows Reeves and Winter on a split screen video call sending their best wishes to the graduating class.

While Winters is dressed in a simple black button-up shirt, Reeves is dressed more to character, wearing a black T-shirt that says “Be excellent to each other,” the movie series’ catchphrase. The pair reinforce that message in the video, after stating that “San Dimas football rules!” It’s a cute moment from the pair of actors, and one that must have been a huge surprise for the San Dimas graduating class of 2020.
The gesture made by Reeves and Winter is not the first to emerge during the coronavirus pandemic. Many actors have taken to the internet to wish fans well, and appear in impromptu reunions in an effort to boost the morale of the general public while they’re stuck at home. This video proves, yet again, that despite all the troubles in the world, we can still be excellent to each other, especially when the star of Bill & Ted Face the Music are involved.
