Posted: 8/1/05 at 11:22amThere are many very lovely people I've had the chance to meet, but the experiences that truly meant the most are with Denis O'Hare, Matt McGrath, Kevin Cahoon, and yes, Raul Esparza. These men are unforgettable and so kind.

Veanne Cox is such a sweet and gracious person - possibly one of the nicest people I've met after a show. John Tartaglia is also a pleasure to meet as well. And it wouldn't be me if I didn't mention Kevin Earley - he's extremely nice, though he comes across as a little shy when you first meet him.
As for LA actors, Julie Dixon Jackson, Misty Cotton, Bets Malone, Nick DeGruccio, Damon Kirsche... the list goes on and on...

Akiva....I second that!
Jenna Leigh Green is tops the nicest person I ever, and WILL ever meet.
Derrick Williams is actually probably second (they both friggin remembered my name and held 10 minute conversations with me!! they rock)
Stephanie, Ana, Rondi Reed (she called me Glinda! she was sooo nice!), David Garrison, Gene W. (the Chicago Wizard), Kate Reinders, Sara Ramirez, Heidi Kettenring.... OH i remembered more! Cary Shields, Barret Foa, Karmine Alers....
when I met the DRS cast they were nice obviously, but they were busy so they didn't hold conversations with me:)
I think those are all the ones I met that I was surprised at their friendliness..all the people I've met have been nice, but these were exceptionally nice :)
and of course...JODI BENSON!!! omg, friggin love her, she talked to me a while and introduced me to her husband, and shook my hand and said "it was nice talking to you!" and I got a picture with her..my idol :) It's like talking to the little mermaid ahah!
and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

Kevin Cahoon was so sweet when I met him, the first time we talked about acting. The next time I saw him he remembered me and took me backstage.
Also Erin Dilly and Marc Kudisch were very sweet when I talked to them.

John Tartaglia, Stephanie D'abruzzo, John C. Reilly, Amy Ryan, Norbert Leo Butz, Sara Gettelfinger, Doug Sills, Hunter Foster, Sara Ramirez and David Hyde Pierce was a bit stiff, but still lovely. Oh and for how famous he is, John Lithgow was wonderful too. SOO sweet and lowkey!
Sills and Foster probably 'win' in my book because it was a matinee so there weren't that many people waiting, and they were just sooo nice and took pics and Foster commented on my LSOH HS shirt. But John C Reilly asked me how I was! *sigh* gotta love those brushes with fantasy

Posted: 8/1/05 at 2:06pmEden and Cleavant were very nice after Brooklyn.. Megan Hilty,Saycon, Scary Spice, Max Von Essen (he got me tickets!), Billy Porter is by far my favorite... we talked for a long time. Everyone says how mean Frenchie Davis is, but when I met her at Dream Girls in pgh she was pretty nice, she has that diva attitude, but she shook my hand and was pretty damn nice to me.

Mary Stuart Masterson was very nice at the stage door after "Nine - The Musical" and "National Anthems" in London.
I also want to add Chita Rivera. What a great lady! And Steven Weber is just the nicest guy.

Posted: 8/1/05 at 2:36pmUrgh, I feel terrible; I forgot Anthony Rapp - one of the nicest, most accomodating people I've ever met. He has so much invested in what he does, it blows my mind.
