The subject of actors appearing (or not appearing) at the stage door comes up a lot on these boards. In response to the post about Lane disliking the stage door and his fans is really unfair. It is important to remember that NO ACTOR is obligated to do the stage door and that many actors a) are not as outgoing as you might like and find the stage door awkward and b) are tired after a performance and want to eat or go home and rest. The only thing an actor is obligated to do is to deliver a full on performance. While we may all want to meet them and spend time with them, it isn't in their contract. As for whether this actor likes his fans, I would hazard a guess that he has never confided his hatred to you so perhaps this is your opinion but it is only an assumption. I have actually seen this actor sign and take pictures and have also seen other actors do the same (many who people say are distant and aloof). So, it does depend on the show, the day, their health, their schedule etc.
