So I go to school with a "famous person". Last year he taught, but this year he has decided to enter the Graduate Acting program and earn his MFA. I don't know exactly how to treat this fame. Everyone talks about this or that that he's done, but very few talk about it with him. It's odd. I was watching Die Hard the other day with Travis and he pointed out to me that this guy was in it. I'd had no idea. So jokingly I told Travis that I would ask him what happened to his character at the end of the movie since there seems to be no true resolution to his fate as compared to everyone else's. And yes it would be funny to go up to him and ask but I don't know if I should acknowledge his "fame". Right now I am costuming him in a production of The Snowmaiden at SMU, so I have pictures hanging up at my house of all of my actors. Over Christmas break, my sister was over with a friend of hers that lives here in Dallas. He was so excited when he saw the photos up of this famous person. He wanted his signature, but only if I could get it with him dressed up in his most famous role. I know that it is very unlikely that I'll ever be as publicly famous as he is, but I plan on becoming very good at what I do. The best. And in that sense, you all probably don't know who Rosemary Ingham, Ming Cho Lee, or Robert Wilson are but in the world of theatre they are very "famous". So to speak. So I don't know if I should ever acknowledge his fame, because my job is as important in the scheme of the production as his is. I would even venture to guess that in the hierarchy of production improtance, I'm above him. However, I'm not saying that I'm better than him. We're both students, it only happens that he's been in big movies and TV shows. How do you treat fame when it comes to colleagues. Especially when he's the nicest guy in the world personally. I don't want to come off as some annoying fanboy. I'll probably continue to treat it as I have been. I don't acknowledge him as a famous person because I didn't know him then, I only acknowledge him as a friend because that's who I know him as.
