He's filming a movie near my office complex. I didn't want to be That Guy who spouts movie titles at him, so I just told him I was a great admirer of his work and left it at that. He thanked me with a big smile, and even put his hand on my shoulder when we shook hands. Seemed very pleased to talk with everyone. I heard Katie Holmes was filming there too, but I didn't see her nor did I look very hard.

Very cool :thumbsup:
I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Metropolitan Museum of Art one time. We were both looking at the same painting. Like you, I told him I was a great fan of his work. He thanked me and was very humble about it. Talked about art and movies for a few minutes before he was whisked away by a lady friend.
One of the nicer celebrities I've met.

That very cool, I'm glad he's nice in real life. I hate it when celebrities are assholes (unless they are provoked), it ruins it for me when I watch them in a movie.

He put his hand on my shoulder once too... but I was in the mens room facing the urinal.

I'd like to ask him about The Big Chill.
Funny you always hear people describe him as a bit out there.
Good that he was nice to you.

Oh, I forgot to mention that he was naked from the waist down and eating handfuls of dandelions.

I would've sucker-punched him...for stealing a well-deserved Oscar from Harrison Ford from the Academy Awards for the year 1985.

He's got a cool voice. I saw him in A History of Violence today, one of his not so stellar roles.

That's nice to hear, because he has a reputation of being not-so-nice. But that's probably because he avoids the press like the plague. It's always nice to meet or talk to an actor who has a "reputation" and then you find them to be friendly and charming. Of course, they ARE actors - so you're never quite sure. ;)

Glad to hear he was a class act. Out of curiosity, how tall would you say he is? The reason I ask is that I met Kevin Kline over the summer and he was probably 6'5" (much to my surprise) -- William Hurt seems like he could be surprisingly tall as well.

Not really a jab, but meeting Katie Holmes isn't exactly a dream of mine.

Is it because she got fat?

Is it because she's with Tom?
Is it because you don't like women?

If you meet him again... See, I have this script...
