I can’t BELIEVE I met Julianne Moore!!!

She visited Washington, DC this weekend as part of her leadership of the Red Nose Day charity telecast.  She is an absolutely lovely human being in addition to being a lovely woman — and she’s warm and downright genteel with her fans.  I also traded hellos with Olivia Wilde and Julianne’s husband, director Bart Freundlich.

Thanks to my great friend Pete Harrison for snapping the picture!!

[EDIT, 5/26/15:  Okay — maybe this  joke has gone far enough … I see this post has gotten a record number of hits, and 56 Facebook shares.  I have never met Julianne Moore; the man depicted is renowned actor James Woods.  It’s been a running joke among a lot of people that I look like Woods — I have been hearing it since I was 16 years old.  Hence the picture of “me” and Moore.  I love it when people are kind enough to share my blog posts — I’m sorry if anyone passed this along unaware that it was a joke!  :-)]

I am NOT James Woods.

As much as I would like to succeed as a writer, my primary existential goal in life is to finally inform everyone that I am not, in fact, actor James Woods.

I’ve heard about the likeness since I was 16 or so, and even I can admit that the resemblance is quite strong.  It is incredibly cool watching John Carpenter’s “Vampires” and seeing … myself fight the title monsters.

But I’m not him.  Really.

Anyway, I do have Facebook friends who love to exacerbate my neuroses — here is a “separated at birth” -type comparison of me and the actor.  My MOM initially couldn’t tell the difference, and asked why I “looked so funny in the second picture.”

Thanks, Mom.

Sigh.
