Actor, Writer, Director, Vincent Gallo waved at us!
A week ago on Thursday Dee Dee and I went to an art opening at the Gagosian. The show was JEAN PROUVĂ / CHARLOTTE PERRIAND : 20th Century Furniture & Architecture. Held on a Thursday night the usual eccentric crowd filled up the building. As we left the show, I noticed Actor/Director Peter Berg enter the Gallery. I remember him best from his days on Chicago Hope.
My Dad and his wife Lucille drove down for the weekend for a visit and some early B-Day celebrating for me. They took Dee Dee and I to the Palm restaurant for dinner on Friday and we hoped that they would be able to spot someone with us as well. No such luck. But on Sunday they took us to see Mama Mia at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. Sitting in front of us was a character actor that both my dad and I recognized, but neither of us could remember what we had seen him in, or for that matter his name. Dee Dee heard his wife call him Sam. I will figure it out someday... As we exited the play we were milling around the front of the building and my Dad recognized an older gentleman who he thought was Actor/Singer Ed Ames and I agreed that I thought it was him, but then my Dad hit the nail on the head and exclaimed that it was none other than ex Football Quarterback and Oakland Raiders Coach Tom Flores. He was right!
A couple of days ago Dee Dee and I were running around town doing errands. We were caught in traffic on Beverly Blvd near the Beverly Center. Dee Dee decided to let a guy in a nice looking Volvo-like station wagon pull into traffic in front of her. The driver waved and Dee Dee said that he looked like Vincent Gallo . I noticed that it was really him and stated, " it really is Vincent Gallo ". Too cool. I am a big fan of his work and music and Dee Dee thinks he is a cool Artist and sexy to boot...
And last Star Sighting but not least... I was shopping at 99 Cents Only and I noticed thisfamiliarr looking guy checking out coffee mugs. I had only a side few shot of him, but he turned my way and knew right away that it was one of my favorite actors of the70'ss and 80's, Steve Railsback. This guy played one of thecreepiestt version of Charlie Manson in a Mini Series entitled Helter Skelter. He was amazing along side of Peter O'toole in the Cult Film, The Stunt Man. And he played one of my all time favorite Guest characters on the X-Files, Duane Barry. Very cool Star Sighting and in a 99 Cents Only store no less...
that's all for now... Dick Out!
