When You See a Celebrity. . .

What is proper behavior when you spot a famous person who, for example, is waiting for a seat at the same restaurant as you? My instinct is to walk up to them, say, "I know you." Of course, then, I would expect him or her to say, "Hey, good to see you, again!"

I saw Sam Waterston (Law and Order) tonight. He was eating at the same restaurant -- walked in right behind us. I looked at him, immediately recognized him, and smiled at him like, "Hey, good to see you again." He glanced at me then stared straight ahead as if he'd never seen me watching him on TV all these years. Go figure.

Can you believe I have seen only two celebrities since moving here, and both of them have been of Law and Order fame? Weird.
