Right, heh. Anthony will look at someone and go, "we've met before," on his own accord. Adam will respond yes when he's asked, but probably about 99% of the time, simply because he knows how to make people happy and tell them what they want to hear. He's not as likely, with fans, to jump out and say it on his own; that happened for me, but it was a completely unusual set of circumstances, and he was prompted by a formal introduction. Like skittles said, it's nothing bad to his credit -- it'd be crazy to expect him to remember people he's only met a few times with the numbers of fans he meets -- and he's simply very good at being charming and working a crowd. He knows how to give people what they want. And when so much of your success is dependent on having a supportive fanbase, that's very important. This is certainly not to say he's not a genuine person or anything of the sort -- I hope everyone knows that I think otherwise, but it's the reality of his position.
I agree, Jenna -- seeing him on stage is one of the things that makes me happiest, but I often do have this fear of sort of burning it out, because there IS such a thing as too much of something good. I don't think it'll happen any time soon, especially if I work not to let it, but at the same time, it's a catch-22, because you want to continue to do things that make you happy, and sometimes you don't realize you're losing steam until it's too late. The process of sort of going back, taking a break, and undoing "damage," so to speak, is painful, because you stop knowing how you're going to react, and it's sad to react negatively to things that made you happy. I'm afraid of that happening with a lot of theater things, though.
