Spotted

This "Spotted" actually has a funny story to it! This character actor above is Jeff Garlin. Jeff has been in many television shows and movies. I know him best from the HBO series, Curb Your Enthusiasm. He plays Larry David's agent and friend on the show. I know that he was also in the movie, Daddy Day Care.

So while we were in Hollywood waiting for the Wicked drawing (see post below), we decided to look around the Hollywood Farmer's Market. We are walking around and I see Jeff sitting at a table eating. CJ, Chris and I were a good distance away from him. I have them look over at him and confirm that it was Jeff Garlin. They both recognize him, but we couldn't think of his name at the time.

As we are walking away, a woman walks by and says, "His name is Jeff. I overheard you talking about it... and I'm his wife!" She kept walking as if it was no big deal. For a second I felt embarrassed. Then I remember seeing that he was wearing a Cubs hat, so I said, "That's awesome that he's a Cub's fan!" Apparently, that got her attention. She abruptly stopped and asked if we were from Chicago. I said no, but we are from Indiana. She said that they are from Chicago and that her parents now live in La Porte, Indiana. So we had a quick chat about Indiana and that was it. It was just a funny little occurence that I didn't expect.
