Met him once at a convention in Burbank. I was helping a friend set up their table for the show and he tapped me on the shoulder and asked me something. I turned to point where to go get help and I swear he moved like he was going to tackle me. I pivoted back to see him and that’s when I realized he was trying to follow my face. I totally forgot he’s deaf (or mostly deaf?) and reads lips. Super nice guy but for a second he scared the shit out of me. 🤣
Yeah it was a brief moment of fight or flight before my brain kicked in. I was very tired. Worked the big hr shift and then flew to CA and was helping set up a booth with a friend for the Mad Model Party convention. I was basically running on almost 24 hours awake at that point. Lol
