Midtowngym: It is not reasonable to expect that a theater will usher small groups of people in to see an actor for an audience.
I know from your post that you consider this part of their job but it is not and people in NYC may be spoiled by having this access. But, signing at the stage door is not something that every actor does.
They are paid to perform and if they do that well, that's the extent of their obligation to the audience. If they CHOOSE to sign...so be it.
As for actor's expectations in restaurants etc...these perks are given by society and by virtue of the fact that they have become famous and recognizable in some way...that doesn't mean that in return we get an access pass to their lives. I've seen people walk up to a celeb at dinner and interrupt a conversation to get an autograph and/or picture. It does get tiresome.
