James Gandolfini seemed like a nice enough guy, but after several seasons of “The Sopranos,” you can’t help but feel like he might slug you if you ask him the wrong question.
Larry David was extremely approachable…so approachable, in fact, that he was constantly surrounded by reporters with tape recorders, trying to get a good sound bite out of him.
For the boys back home: I had a nice “Entourage” moment with Kevin Dillon, who was a very cool guy, but, sorry, I had to yank the pic because I didn’t realize it’s frowned upon for TCA members to take shots with the celebs. It’s probably something to do with maintaining distance between professional writer and professional fanboy, and I get that. But, anyway, a shout-out to my new friend, Steven Chupnick, managing editor of JewReview.net; he and I stood around and talked w/ Kevin about the show, how it’s progressed, and what it’s like with Matt Dillon as your brother. (No way I’m transcribing that now. You’ll have to wait ’til I’m back and can get more caught up!)
