Really Nice Actors — Page 8

I forgot some people/ have some to add:

Kelly Karbacz: Just an all around wonderful, sweet person.

Sutton Foster: Hysterical, and so nice. At the LW stage door, I mentioned sending her a quesiton on the website, and she was like "Ohhh yeah! I remember you!" and just started chattering away

Will Chase: One of the sweetest guys ever. Seriously.

Mandy Gonzalez: When I stagedoored Lennon the first time I saw the show, Mandy just came over and went "Ooh, what book are you reading?" and started talking to me. When I went back after I saw the show again, she chatted away. Seemed kind of surprised when I asked her for a picture. Then, I ran into her one day as I was on my way home, and she was headed towards the theater. I waved as I was passing, and she stopped me to chat for a while (I had no intention of stopping, because I didn't want to be a bother). She asked me if I was coming to the final show, which I wasn't (And I wasn't happy about that), so we ended up talking about marching band.

Anthony Rapp was just wonderful, he was very nice to me, even though I was terrified when I met him.
Ditto for Adam Pascal. He could tell I was shy, and just shot me a huge smile while I was waiting on line at the CD signing.

David Turner (from the ill-fated "In My Life") is a doll. My friends and I were talking to him at the stage door after we saw the show, and he told us how nice it was to see us in the front row, and was genuinely interested in chatting with us.

Rebecca Pitcher. Even when her parents were up to see her after the show, she took the time to look at my pictures from my high school musical I was in at the time. Such a gracious woman./

Nikki M. James, who was in All Shook Up. She took a picture with us and we had a great conversation. then, a couple of blocks down the road we see her walking back to the theatre and she gives us an enthusiastic "HEY, I remember you!" It was great. lol

Jenna Leigh Green seriously is the nicest person ever. She stayed with about 5 people in the freezing cold (after thanking us for waiting for her), signed every single thing pushed at her (even my shirt), took tons of pictures, and then gave us the backstage story. All while her friend was on the phone saying she was going to be late, rabid fans (5 people standing very calmly about 10 feet away from the door) were attacking her.

Gregory Jbara, though I didn't stage door him.. is so nice, the Greg thread has been done THRICE!

Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

Honorable mention: Derrick Williams

Hands down Greg Jbara; because of him I was also able to meet Norbert Leo Butz and John Lithgow, who are also extremely nice.

*Forgot to add Josh Kobak and Matt Caplan, really sweet guys.

Definitely John Lithgow and Norbert Leo Butz (I could barely get any words out to talk to him in San Diego but he was so nice! He shook my hand and signed my "Wicked" cd jacket.) I was too nervous to even attempt to speak to Joanna Gleason.

I didn't get to meet Hugh Jackman because he was surrounded by fans, but it was nice of him to go out and sign as many autographs as he did. He also waved to people from his car as he drove off. :)

Not so much a broadway actress, but Jane Curtin often shops in my bookstore and she is likely the nicest celeb I have ever encountered. She is a delight - so friendly, smart and sassy!

I have to update my list to add Gregory Jbara too. After seeing him and speaking with him at the stage door at "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" a couple of weeks ago, I truly understand why everyone says he's one of the nicest broadway performers. He was just SO personable!

Jenna Leigh Green, Hank Azaria, Matt Caplan, Will Chase, Antonique Smith.

I couldn't speak when I first saw Will Chase...he was my first stagedoor experience, so I just sort of gaped at him, and my friend was the one to ask if he could sign something. But then her pen wouldn't work, so while he was trying to get it to work by running it over his hand, I managed to find my voice (and my pen), and we had a psuedo-conversation. He was kind of in a hurry, but *very* sweet.

Matt Caplan came out last, and ended up talking to my friend and I for over 5 minutes. I may not like his portrayl of Mark, but he seems to be a great guy.
