Maybe it was the guy from the TV show, but he wasn't dead, so now I'm confused - I'll get back to you on this.kenobi65 said:

Yeah, I stopped by the table last year and game him crap about his "absence"Fiery James said:He should have known it was dangerous to leave me with paper, a marker, and a camera.
I almost got a free piece of artwork out of him by not speaking so loud.

Sean Holland is the guy - played Sean Holiday on the series (a large step up from his role in the movie as Lawrence /bit part/) Unfortunately, IMDB has no current photos.
I remember now that he said that the writers came up with his name simply by canabilizing his own name. Orginally they were trying to cast similar actors in similar roles, but there was no one that they like for the role that Paul Rudd played in the movie (I think thats right its been forever.) So they 'promoted' the character Lawrence, but then realized that there wasn't a good explaination for the sudden jump from left over to right hand man. In pre-production they started calling him 'other popular guy' and then put in 'Holiday' as a place holder, by the time they started shooting, they just kept it.
Edit - Found a photo - that's him on the right with the big goofy smile.

You are a bad man. Pictures are proof..... We should run the ad campaign "What happens at Gen Con stays in Indy. Unless you go the red garter. Then you're screwed."

First Post
Hmm Jeez – well New Zealand is rather small.
I’ve had Anna Pacquin (Won Oscar for role in The Piano & plays Rogue in X-men flicks) come into my supermarket when I worked as a duty manager – practically had to beat the butchery boys away. I mean c’mon the poor girls home to her home town and want’s to buy some food – leave her alone.
I’ve sat next to Liv Tyler in a Supergrass Concert in Wellington, one of the guys I went to school with dated Sir Ian McKellan for a while (I’m only 26, you do the math)…
And then, as a Kiwi there’s the standard rugby people I’ve seen/met. Jonah Lomu at my supermarket (helped him find something) who is MUCH bigger that he seems (if that’s possible). Umm I also used to work in a wine shop attached to a bar that is owned by ex-all blacks so saw quite a few of the lads in there as well.
Umm I’m, by some sketchy way relate to Jimmy Hill the English footballer. Been to his place for a BBQ a couple of times. And for those who’ve seen his show on TV (in the UK), his chin really is that big
That’s about it really, one of my ex’s didn’t’ realise that she was having a smoke beside the bosy from Ash and asked them if they were going to the concert that night (Ash & Garbage). She felt really embarrassed when they said “yeah, we’re playing in it.”

In order...
Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates in Psycho) at the New Orleans airport. He's very tall. I was very young, I don't remember much about him.
Frank Zappa at Bush Gardens florida. Was kind of odd, all I did was ask him "Are you Frank Zappa?", he nodded and I walked away. This was in 83, and I was 11 at the time.
William Christopher (Father Mulcahy from Mash) lived one neighborhood over. Seemed to enjoy mowing his lawn.
Steve Jackson (of Steve Jackson Games), at a con where I did was with a group testing out a victorian space-age RPG he was working on. His "book" was a giant binder filled with hand-written notes. In his haste to leave the South, he left it behind. I fed-exed it back to him, without so much as a thanks, letter, or anything. Bastard.
Shaquille O'Neal was a regular customer at the pharmacy I worked at while I was in college. I had no idea who he was until after I left that job. He'd take up the entire isle, he's a Large sized creature. Very soft spoken and shy guy.
Harry Connick Jr., oddly enough I met him at an adult store the wife of a friend worked at. Bit of a jerk.
Dr. John (the blues/rock musician) was a regular customer when I worked at Kinkos a decade ago. Bat sh*t crazy, I can't stress that enough. Totally insane and not in a cooky funny way.
Johnnie Cochran, I did some work for him, also at Kinkos. Nice guy, too bad he died.
John Glenn was stuck at my desk for over an hour. I work for an "american space agency that shall remain unnamed" so having an astronaut at my desk is not totally unheard of. A bit stand-offish... smells old.
