Having some time to kill on Saturday night, I watched Martin Sheen’s interview on the Jonathan Ross show, via the BBC iPlayer. And being struck by just how darn nice he was, I promptly updated my Facebook status to read the following:
Because, truly, he was that nice. Anyway, here’s what ensued on my Facebook ‘Wall’ (new readers: 1. Arvind is a friend of a friend, and works as a film producer; 2. Richard Schiff played Toby Ziegler in The West Wing):

have you just met him? envious.

That was just a great interview, wasn’t it? Inspiring man.
Andrea Mann at 13:43 on 24 May
yes, Arvind, and he was the perfect gent.
wasn’t it just, Will? I mean, I knew I admired him, not just for TWW but for his politics. but I had no idea he was just so lovely, too. *sigh*.

where can I find that interview? Is he in town – I am actually working with Richard Schiff at the moment, we should organise a WW reunion dinner party… A

it was on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, I watched it on iPlayer… don’t know if it’s still on there? and Richard Schiff – how wonderful! is he nice too?
PS as long as Lemon Lyman is at the reunion, I’ll be happy 😉
Arvind at 13:03 on 25 May
ok, now i’m confused. I watched JR, and yes it was great. but I thought you met him – were you on JR and I missed it?
Yes, Bradley is a geek-god.

Arvind, I was joking :-). despite my being Japanese jazz famous, I have yet to make it to the ranks of a) meeting Martin Sheen or b) being on Jonathan Ross. 🙂 I forget that you might actually possibly meet Martin Sheen!
Arvind at 21:43 on 25 May
actually, it all gets worse… I spoke to Richard today to ask him to organise the dinner, throwing in that a friend of mine had met Martin on his trip and she was this singer chick and she should come also. And so he called Martin, but Martin had already left… FB misunderstanding gone hopelessly wrong….

I once met Charlie Sheen. Me and Trev were standing outside the toilets at Planet Hollywood. We were there for the premiere of Charlie Sheen’s greatest film, Terminal Velocity. Charlie came out of the toilets and looked at Trev, giving him a conspiratorial nod.
So, Trev met him really, but I was close.
Andrea says
Wow. How very cool. Although not as cool as if you’d met him at the premiere of his second greatest film, Major League (third greatest: Major League 2).
