So my friend Natalie had a bit of a treat sort of.
So I take her to Gastown, a very major tourist area in Vancouver. All cobblestone and old looking and tons of souvenir stores and stuff.
Anyway, she decides she wants to take a look in the cowboy hat store just for fun. We were in there for a few minutes checking out stuff when in walks Jim Byrnes. The girl in there says offers assistance, the guy welcomes him... my friend walks by him....
Well not me... I look at him and say "wow, shopping with a famous tv and movie star and a great musician as well... this completes my day." and he smiled and put his hand on my shoulder and said "heh, thanks... how's it goin?" and I said "awesome, you?" and he said "great" and then he looked at hats and I walked out of the store.
As we left, Natalie looked at me like "wtf??" and I said "that was Jim Byrnes.... you know, the guy from the Highlander tv show?" and she went "oh yeah!!!! OMG!!"
It was pretty hilarious. She almost wanted to go back to talk to "the famous person" but knew better than to bug him. I just wanted to say hi to him, let him know I knew who he was but wasn't going to hound him while he was shopping. I think he appreciated that.
Anyway, for those of you going "uhm... Jim Byrnes??"... here's a list of his films/shows and a pic.
