In the early 90's I worked in SoHo (485 Broadway to be exact). It was (probably still is) an super eclectic neighborhood. It's got the foodies on West Broadway. Little Italy by Grand and Lafayette. The Villiage is a five minute walk North and the outskirts of Chinatown south of Canal. These enclaves attract bohemian spirits.
So... The list;
The regulars were....
Geoffrey Holder
Willem Dafoe
Danny Aiello
Bjork
Winona Ryder
Robert De Niro
Cindy Crawford (Ford Agency was in the area)
The scene where Mel Gibson's character in "Ransom" decides to not pay the ransom and go on the offensive was filmed across the street ( Corner of Broadway and Broome). It was a very unproductive couple of days...seeng that the window of the area I worked in was right there.
Met OJ in Laguardia (before... You know), James Earl Jones, Larry Holms and Geraldo Rivera (individually) in Newark.
Don't know if this counts but.. in the 80's while working as a security guard, Robert Goulet's wife pinched my a$$ while he was performing at of all places Brighton Beach Baths.
@Mitch will know where/what that was. Oh, I met him too.
But of all the people I've met, the most memorable was Dennis Weaver. Being a 8 year old boy who religiously watched McCloud and all..... Having him mess with my cowboy hat while on a studio tour at Universal was friggen Awsome!
Oh yeah, two years ago I met Danny Trejo and Adam West. They were at a convention in the same hotel our swim team stayed at for Sunkissed Nationals in Charlotte NC. My wife and I spent a good 15 min just talking to Mr. West. ..... She was a little afraid of Trejo doe.
