| "We don't use the 'B' word in our house. We say 'The Top is Down'" -- Tony's response to my remark about 'bald men' during his panel |
||||||||||||||||
| Bra'tac is THE MAN! Or more accurately, THE JAFFA! Now that I've said that, it follows that I was definitely grateful for the chance to meet Tony Amendola. What I remeber most from meeting Tony is him telling me that I had a beautiful smile during our photo session, and his response to my comment about bald men. If you haven't heard about this particular comment during one of the Gatecon 2001 panels, let me enlighten you. Tony Amendola, Don Davis and Eric Avari were on stage. I originally was going to ask Don to tell that golf joke he started to tell me at the banquet the previous night but looking at all three of them on stage made a realization hit me. All three of them were bald. I have a serious weakness for bald men. And even with Chris Judge not up there with them it still turned me on. So to make a long story short (or even longer), I got a mic and told all three of them that 'I have a serious weakness for bald men and with the three of you up there..." The crowd jumped onto my train of thought and laughed accordingly. Eric kind of protested that he wasn't bald, Don just chuckled and looked sly while Tony answered with the quote up at the top of the page. Tony definitely has a lot of interesting stories about the acting profession, his life as an actor, and his impressions of his character. Just remember if you ask him about 'baldness', remember to refer to it as the 'top being down' :-) |
