Marissa- same
Stephanie D'Abruzzo- During the summer.
John Tags- At a concert he is very sweet
Margo Martindale- On Broadway and she is a doll.
Jeff Marx- At the show- He is a nice guy and easy on the eyes!

The changing of my icon is a part of my "backing down" deal for you honey :)

Take care

Bleh. Not a fan of facial hair. But I do want him to grow out the rest of his hair... I miss the curls.

After a conversation about how difficult it is for her to get a cab on Friday & Saturday nights, and me saying cabs NEVER wanna stop for wheelchairs, Mary Bond Davis literally walked out onto the street and stood in front of a cab to try and get it to stop for me. It was classic.

That is impressive Mistress.
I APPLAUD HER! Oh and i forgot there is an actress Mrs.Cohen who is the housekeeper on Sex and the City i met her on the bus and she was a doll. She was also at the Drama Desk awards and we chatted on the bus.
You would be surprised how many celebs take mass transit.

Sutton Foster definately tops my list...she has been so nice to my friends and I. Also...Spencer Kayden is great...she is hilarious. John Collum was nice as well- he offered to take a picture for my Dad and me. Kerry Butler is always a sweetheart.
Dequina Moore
Rob Bartlett (hilarious man)
Carolee Carmello
These are just the people who I have had conversations with who really struck me as people who really care about their fans and those who look up to them.

Without a doubt, Sebastian Arcelus from RENT. I had HIM coming up to ME during a performance of the poetry musical 'Subway Train' to thank me for the letter I wrote him.
Also, Daphne Rubin Vega. She saw how shy I was and demanded a hug, and was very sweet.
Michelle Federer was a doll as well.

Posted: 2/8/04 at 1:26pmI always enjoy going to the Broadway Flea Market, most of the actors come out and are very gracious with their time.

That's not the purpose of this thread, and I think you meant to write "Who ARE the most shallow people on Broadway" or "Who is the most shallow PERSON on Broadway"
And if you are ever in midtown, my vote is for you....

Some might respect other people's privacy when living their normal everyday lives. I know there are some people out there that just have to say "hi" to someone they recognize as famous. It's unfortunate.
And lo and behold... "CELEBS" are PEOPLE - they take mass transit, they eat in restaurants, they go to the bathroom, they buy postage, they walk their dogs. AMAZING and AWESOME.

BRIAN STOKES MITCHELL ALL THE WAY!! Such a humble and genuine individual! He was always extremely generous with his time at the MoLM stage door (even on the rainiest of nights!)

I met Dick Scanlan walking his adorable dogs. I did not know it was him as i went over to pet the cutest dogs i have ever seen.
When i looked up to tell him how adorable they were he said don't i know you.
It was funny. He is a very nice man.

I have to agree. I think 'putting on the face' and signing the playbills is just a really big part of the job. I'm not saying that some of these people aren't genuinely nice, but sometimes it's hard to tell, because if they're smart, they're going to treat their fans well and meeting and greeting at the stage door comes as part of the territory, really. I mean, it's clearly not required, but as I said, sometimes it's hard to differentiate whether it's sincere or a big act.
Master, I'm with you there. How many have invited you to spend the night? (Or how many of you hope and pray everytime you see Marc Kudisch that he'll invite you over? Or am I alone on that one? Heh.)
Which ones have done something for you other than sign a playbill and chat for a moment? ...Something out of the ordinary that they didn't need to do? I think those are the ones who deserve mention.

Posted: 2/8/04 at 4:33pmI agree. Henry Winkler is an incredibly sweet guy. I was at the closing night of a show and was backstage when I saw Henry Winkler there on his way out. I told him how much I enjoyed his performance in The Dinner Party and he thanked me and gave me a kiss on the cheek *blush*

Not a broadway star but when I went to Seths Chatterbox, Seth was pretty cool and wanted to make sure I got help down the steps into the place.

There are a TON of nice actors (which most of you have listed), but seriously, as I say "Acting is politics." Most actors know that they have to play nice and all to every single person who comes up for them. Putting on a face.
And I know THOSE, and a couple of truly nice actors.
But you can never be too sure with people who portray other people and pretend on stage 24/7.
