Louis Gosset, Jr. today

Gonna be shooting the actor Louis Gosset, Jr. at Book Soup in West Hollywood this evening. Should be a short and sweet shoot, as is usual for Book Soup. I've actually encountered Mr. Gosset before, a long time ago. It was in either 1992 or 1993, when I was working on the Cable Ace Awards for Dick Clark Productions as a P.A. It was the day before the show, actually, during the rehearsal. What usually happens at these sort of things is that the celebrity presenters show up at the venue, get up on the stage, read their presenting bit, and then leave without paying any attention to the production people milling around them. However, Mr. Gosset didn't do this. Rather, while waiting for his turn to do his thing, he went out of his way to introduce himself to just about every member of the crew that he could find. I was deeply impressed...that's when I understood what class among actors is. Hopefully I'll get the chance to tell him that story tonight.
