I was working in New Haven. We were invited to a sales pitch in NYC where some ABC personalities would be in attendance. Spin City was in production and Michael J. Fox was there.
He was chatting, I think with Richard Kind, when I walked up, stuck out my hand and said, “Michael J. Fox, I’m Geoffrey J. Fox.”
He was not impressed.
I quickly walked away.
Not every story is a good story.
I once had the same problem with taking a picture of Peter Tork at a memorabilia show.
Had an extremely similar experience with the same man several years back. While I had enjoyed the show immensely I cannot say the same of the reception of the very few people who stuck around afterwards to have a brief word.
Never again.
They’re on a different wavelength once they are popular. They forget where they came from. I had an entirely different experience with Roy Clark after an Oakdale concert. He talked with us for 15 minutes about growing up and learning to play the guitar. Nice guy
