Celebrity Encounter: Tony Shalhoub

Our 18-yr-old daughter spotted Tony Shalhoub at the Agricultural Fair on Martha's Vineyard last night. Our daughter is a good critic of acting and is talented in that direction herself, and Shalhoub is towards the top of her list. She's admired his range, from Galaxy Quest to Big Night. She, her aunt and my wife approached him as he waited for his daughter to get off a ride.

They expected to gush for a moment and then to back away apologetically. But not only was he polite, he engaged them, and especially our daughter, in conversation. Where is she from? Where does she stay on the Island? When she told him that every drama class she's taken has shown the last scene from Big Night, he was impressed and asked about her interest in acting. They chatted about Monk, a program with silly mystery plots and some fetching acting by my daughter's dear friend, Tony Shalhoub.

And then he excused himself politely as his daughter approached.


BTW, I wasn't there because I was in Boston for a few days, doing my annual spell as a footloose bachelor. And you know what that means: eating out of the pot, smoking a cheap cigar just because I can, and watching something with Bruce Willis in it whether I want to or not.

I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting Tony and his lovely wife Brooke, and sister-in-law Lynne, at a reception they were hosting as well as a workshop the next day. Tony is so "un- celebrity" like its amazing. He clearly loves people. And I hope that quality in him never changes.

Tony Shalhoub actually inspired me to start getting involved in acting. It would be the coolest thing that ever happened to me if I actually met him. Living in New Jersey makes it seem like that's a pretty big stretch.lol. But, w/e, Thanks for the inspiration, Mr. Shalhoub!

Hello,

Does anyone have Tony's social security number? I would like to not steal his identity, acquire credit cards, and charge the Big Singing Bass thing on television.
