FYI, Celebrity Stalkers...

My lab-mate Omar and his roommate were hanging out this week-end at the Ginger Man (one of my fave bars in Austin that is being pushed out of its current location to make room for, guess what, MORE condos - blech!). This guy comes up to them and asks if he and his buddies could sit down at their table. Sure! Of course! They get to chatting. Omar asks So what do you do? The guy says I'm an actor.

Oh, really? Would I have seen you in anything?

Well, have you seen Band of Brothers on HBO?

Yeah.

I played Captain Spears in the miniseries.

Omar looks at him for a second and suddenly recognizes his face. Yeah, you did, didn't you!

Turns out Matthew Settle is in town for a month shooting a new movie called Ex-Terminators with Heather Graham. According to Omar, Matt's quite a nice bloke. (Omar's a Brit, in case that wasn't completely obvious). They ended up hanging out and bar-hopping a bit. Later the party went back to the Driskill, where they read lines in practice for his shoot the next day. Earlier that day, Omar had just been telling his roommate that they should go out rather than staying in and playing beer-pong in the garage. Because you never know who you'll meet...

So true, Omar, so true...

I will refrain from commenting on this picture, but hello!

(love you, Greg...)
