the closest I ever came to stalking an actor was when 4 friends and I saw the Scarlet Pimpernel tour 4 times in a week and, on the 4th day, brought signs we had made that spelled out "We Love Doug" (Sills, of course). Sills, being the amazing guy he is, seemed really flattered and insisted on taking a picture with us and bragged loudly to Amy Bodnar that he had his "fan club" there!
I did manage to piss off a Broadway star at stage door once, and it wasn't even her show! After seeing Sweeney Todd at the Kennedy Center (Brian Stokes Mitchell, Christine Baranski, Hugh Panaro), I was waiting at stage door for Christine Baranski who was taking her time getting out. I spotted a woman and a man chatting familiarly with Stokes (who I had already talked to) and I assumed the woman must be Baranski. I ran up and was like "Ms. Baranski you were amazing, could I have your autograph!" or something similar. Turned out to be Marin Mazzie, who looked at me funny and replied somewhat irritated "I wasn't in the show. But I've been in a few shows with Brian." It took me a second before I realized that I had failed to recognize two of my favorite performers (the man was of course Jason Danieley). I apologized repeatedly then had them both sign my Sweeney Todd poster. I felt horrible afterward, but I figure, I may have the world's only Sweeney Todd poster signed by Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley.
