Posted: 1/17/08 at 5:14pmThe question is your "good friend" a stalker too?

My friend went to school with him, and there's no obsession. Hanging out doesn't mean that I've only seen him like 3 times.
Just drop it. I'm gonna delete this thread in a minute.

Posted: 1/17/08 at 5:42pmIf you really have "mutual friends", why aren't you asking them instead of asking on this board? Sounds all too weird to me.

Posted: 1/17/08 at 5:45pmI would ask those who introduced you to him. Plus, is it his birthday coming up? I don't normally buy my friends gifts on random occasions that I've hung out with a few times.

Posted: 1/17/08 at 7:57pmSounds like the best possible gift would be a restraining order in your name.

Posted: 1/17/08 at 9:45pmOh and before you go? Usually, when you want to buy a present for your friend, you don't have to poll total strangers for suggestions? K?

Really though, I think that you guys should have at least tried to give geebee ideas.
He didn't ask "Should I send a gift to this one actor I know?", he asked what he should send. He obviously wanted to send them a gift, so you should have just told him what to send. Maybe his money would be wasted, but at least you would have helped him by doing what he originally asked.

It's his friend (apparently). How would we know what he likes or what he should get for him?
The gift that would best be used would be to BCEFA donated in his (the actors) name.

It is an instinct to want to give a performer who had a profound effect upon Your life something... ANYTHING.
We have an instinct to share with the people who matter to us.
But in this case common sense and restraint would be prudent.
I am as guilty as anyone of this, I once (late last year) found a new-ish Movie, a comedy and recommended it to an actress who I do expect would appreciate it.
Then while rummaging through the Previously Viewed disk section of My local video store I found a second copy of the Movie.
Without thinking I found Myself buying it on the odd chance She might want it.
I sent Her a message telling Her I had it for Her, if She wanted it all I would require was a delivery address- it did not have to be a home address just a place where it could be sent.
That was about a month ago and I have got no response, it sits in an unmarked mailer, it may go one day but it may very well not go either.
It was up to Her to decide if She wanted it or not, by doing it the way I did it was simple, no pressure for Her to take it unless She wanted it that She would have felt if I gave it to Her directly.
I wholeheartedly agree about not giving food, I am a pretty good cook and would be tempted to try that but how can He/She be certain that it is not laced with something? that is common sense.
Buying a gift can put a performer on the spot, You should consider that when thinking about what You would get Them.

Posted: 1/18/08 at 12:32pmIf you don't know someone well enough to have a few ideas of what to give them, you don't know them, period. People should realize that although actors and their performances can bring great joy and happiness, it doesn't mean that you have a right to infringe on their personal lives -- which includes the act of gift-giving. Beyond a request for an autograph, people should respect the fact that an actor's private life is exactly that -- his PRIVATE life.

Posted: 1/18/08 at 12:41pmAnd Poto2, I think what most people here are trying to say is that he shouldn't give a gift for all of the previously-mentioned reasons. People won't support buying a gift or give ideas for a gift if they think it is something that wouldn't be appropriate given the circumstances.
