He was walking around the convention center floor looking at displays and taking notes on a voice recorder. I walked up and chatted with him and he posed for a pic with me. Very cool guy! Got to attend the swearing-in cermony for Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante a few years back - shared an elevator with Carlos Santana and Edward James Olmos who were also attending the ceremony. In my college days, Donald Sutherland came to Fresno to shoot a horrible science fiction movie. I was the assistant to the assisant casting director. There was a scene where he was supposed to step off camera then go back in. I was daydreaming or something and stepped right in his way off camera - but he never missed a beat and kept delivering his dialogue while gently pushing me aside and walking back in front of the camera. I thought I was going to be thrown off the set - but nobody said a thing! He had this beautiful white dog with him that I petted a few time -while nobody was looking. Almost forgot - was introduced to comedian Margaret Cho. My roommate was part of this local Asian group that was screening her film "I'm the One That I Want." I really didn't know much about her at the time but she was really nice and posed for a pic. [ Edited by: Fres-tiki 2009-09-25 17:07 ] [ Edited by: Fres-tiki 2009-09-25 17:37 ]
