Patrick Stewart

“My sister was waiting tables in NYC and ended up serving Patrick Stewart. She didn’t want to bother him, so she just did her job, but at the end of the night, she told him how much she had enjoyed seeing him in a production of Hamlet that year (2008) and that she hoped he was planning to do more theater in the US.

My sister was prepared to leave it at that. Still, apparently, he was so thrilled at someone who wanted to talk about his theater work (as opposed to Star Trek) that he ended up talking to my sister for a while about his experiences on stage. Just a really nice guy who loves acting.”

Robin Williams

“When I was younger, my grandmother and I ran into Robin Williams eating alone in a Whole Foods. We approached him and introduced ourselves, and he immediately cleared a space for us to sit and chat with him. I was pretty young then, so he spent most of the time trying to make me laugh by doing voices.

I may have been too young to truly appreciate it at the time. Still, looking back, I can easily say it’s one of the greatest moments of my life, and Robin has always had a particular spot in my heart because of it.”
