Not a big deal, just fun. Dean Norris from Breaking Bad.
Nice guy. 👍

(18,482 posts)I recognized him instantly. He sat at the bar with a plate of food and a drink.
I excused myself and said that he looks just like Dean Norris. He said, "I feel like Dean Norris."
I said that I was fan of his work. He said thanks then I had to leave.
Apparently he is working in Massachusetts on a movie called The Parenting.

(14,857 posts)... her brother, a reverend named Charles, years ago at a conference about a rare genetic condition called PXE.
Jessica despised George Dumbya Bush, who was President back then, so that was nice. Lol.
Her brother seemed like more of a natural-born entertainer between the two of them, though! Very sharp wit and so funny! Jessica was frequently thwarted by him whenever she tried to get the spotlight on her again, which was like a sibling rivalry between them it seemed.

They're both legally blind from PXE now, whereas I'm still only blind in one eye.

(102,361 posts)Years ago, I skied Aspen a LOT before it became prohibitively expensive and always enjoyed seeing who I could see there. It is a very uncool major faux pas to approach them in Aspen (or it was then in a more civil time) but you could always smile and nod. Some were good skiers. Others just liked to have their photos taken apres ski in Aspen. But I saw everyone from George Hamilton, to Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, several tv actors on major shows at the time (Ken Olin) but who are not so much a big deal now, and when I was very very young kid just starting out, I saw a healthy, younger pre-Parkinsons Katherine Hepburn on the slopes. Others too, but these come to mind.
It is fun--especially when you don't expect it.
