Edward Neufville grew up in Liberia. He escaped the civil war there. He ran hurdles in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He earned a law degree. He also stutters.

"You wake up in the morning with speech on your mind and you go to sleep with speech on your mind, as well," said Neufville.

Neufville thinks about every word he chooses. One of the hardest things is just saying his own name.

"I was an athlete, so I wanted to make sure that people knew who I was so I didn't have to say my name. So I made sure I won races," said Neufville.

Now, stuttering itself is in the spotlight. There's a new movie called The King's Speech. Colin Firth plays Britain's King George VI.
