invasion of the skiffy people

[sergebroom]

Susan de Guardiola recently posted a column on Rixosous ( http://www.rixosous.com/2008/04/patrick-stewart.html#comments ) about Patrick Stewart, or rather about how he handled the interviewer who referred to Star Trek fans as weird. His defense of fans led me to do some research, during which I found that le Capitaine is a fan of Doctor Who and of Red Dwarf. I don't know if he reads SF, but he obviously gets pleasure out of some of its other forms. Is it me deluding myself, or does it seem like more and more one sees filmed SF that involves people who enjoy the genre and who aren't ashamed of it, even if it's... shudder... comic-books? One example? Heck, Edward Norton is a respected actor and yet what is he working on? He's starring in The Incredible Hulk, which he also wrote.

Ed Norton

[(Anonymous)]

In the Very Small World department, I actually worked with Ed Norton on a show at Yale back when he was acting in and I was costuming undergraduate productions. He was one of the mechanicals in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I don't actually remember him, and he probably doesn't remember me.

I seem to remember your saying something about Norton last year. People on Making Light were doing a 6-degrees-of-separation game involving actors other than Kevin Bacon and, when we did Brian Blessed, you wound up with a "2" to him because you'd worked on a play with a very young Robert Sean Leonard. That's when you mentionned Norton.
