2009 was a good year for celebrity sightings, and it looks like this year will be no different. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy Smits after his performance in the Broadway hit, “God of Carnage.”
It was my second encounter with the tall and charming actor -- the first being almost fifteen years ago on the set of “NYPD Blue.”
At the time, we chatted about Jimmy’s lingering affection for his hometown of Brooklyn and I was impressed by how soft spoken and down to earth he was. He smiled today when I mentioned meeting him then, instantly recalling that particular shoot at the borough’s legendary River CafĂ©.
“You haven’t aged a bit,” I told him.
“I don’t know about that,” he said graciously. “Nice to see you again, thanks for coming out.”
Sigh. A decade and a half later, Mr. Smits is still a charmer.
Up next… a review of “God Of Carnage.”
