So I finally saw my first celeb yesterday. It seems that everyone else here has at least seen someone and most people have seen multiple someones. Even visitors will occasionally run into a celeb. Me on the other end… nada. I saw that guy Daniel Vosovic from Project Runway at a bus stop once; but he can’t count as a celebrity.
Yesterday however, as Son and I were walking down Spring St. in Soho for lunch, I see this attractive blonde woman walking towards us. So of course, I check her out.
The first thought through my mind was… “Hmm, she looks familiar, I wonder where I’ve seen her before” (not as in TV show, but as in bar/subway/street)… And then of course it hits me… Ally McBeal/Alfie!! I didn’t know her name but I was sure it was the blonde secretary chick from Ally McBeal… (who also had a minor role in the movie Alfie). So after I get back to my desk, I look her up and sure enough, I walked by Jane Krakowski. I guess she’s now on a TV show called 30 Rock. I must say, she looks pretty good for 37-38.
It’s a weird sensation seeing someone who looks so familiar but that you obviously don’t know. It’s kinda like that cute girl in college who you had a crush on but you never had the nerve to talk to. In your head you kinda do know her, but in reality, she’s just a random stranger. The first time you do talk to her you get this strange awkward/surreal feeling.
I was never a big Ally McBeal fan or anything, so I wonder how I’d feel if I ran into Zach Braff or Courtney Cox or anyone from a show I watch(ed) more regularly. I can so see myself going up to Z.B and saying, “Hey man … Hooch is Crazy.”
