'Spotted Scott shopping for toys on Hollywood Blvd this afternoon (yeah, just 2 days before Christmas). I'm not sure what he bought, but he had a couple of large bags - full of goodies. Then he came into one of the memorabilia shops to use his cell phone. Seems like a really nice guy!'
maybe, but how would you know?
Due to the fact that he went xmas shoppng and used your cell phone? Is that all it takes, or all it takes for movie stars? -

He didn't use "my" cellphone. I don't even have a cellphone - lol. He used his own. Also, he was extremely friendly towards everyone who approached him. Don't know where you live, but here in L.A. it is pretty well-known which "stars" are nice and which aren't. The majority that I've met over the years have been gracious and approachable. As for Scott he has a well-known reputation here in L.A. for being one of Hollywood's "nicest" stars. There are others as well that share that same reputation, but some who definitely don't.
Oh, and by the way, it is unfair to judge anyone based on what profession they are in. There are "nice" and "not so nice" people in every profession. I have family members, neighbors and friends who work in the entertainment profession so my perspective is going to be different. Are there "jerks" in the industry? Of course there arebut there are also a lot of very nice people too. -

Mr Tanna
You're not getting what I'm saying.
If a seral killer came into you store and charmed everybody,is that a test of his niceness?
So, are we speaking about social niceties, or the real deal? Until you lived with,married,or really know a given person, you don't know how "nice" they are or not. Is that not common sense? Now, if I questioned a regular person(non-actor)would you rush to their defense?
All we can go on is our perception, and perhaps our perception is right more often than not,but we cannot be certain.
Scott may the next to God for all we know, but you cannot ascertain that by what you described.
Do you know how many people I have met in life who are so sweet and friendly on the surface,until you see them for their real colors? It's a fact of life.
..now I'm not even getting into judging people by their profession. -

" met him in london and to be honest i thought he was a jumped up little fool, loved himself and strolled round with bouncers and when he went for a cigarette he would not go out inless there were no people, sorry but a plonker if i ever met one"
I can't judge Scott personally,but why should people be surprised if it's true, because you like his performing?
Look at the profession he's in. -

Scott is one of the nicest people you could ever wa5b4nt to meet. I worked with him as an intern for Universal on Quantum Leap back in 1992-93 when I was a student at CSUN. He was very down to earth and never put on a front. He made everyone feel like they were an intricate part of the show, even an intern. He would include me like one of the crew when he didn't have to. I interned on the show for the last season and it was one of the best times of my life. What an experience with wonderful people and true professionals! I saw Scott a few years later when he appeared on the Rosie O'Donnell show. I was in the audience attending the taping. I was in the second row from the front and during a commercial break, I told someone on the main floor that I had worked with Scott. They went up and told him and after he was done with his next segment, he came up to me and gave me a hug calling me by my name! I was floored he remembered me, let alone my name! I will always be thankful for knowing him and wish him success always!

That's awesome Jellybean. Lucky you, for sure.
Wondered then, if you could put my mind at ease, given the OP's recounting: does Mr Bakula smoke?
Lunabean wrote not, but didn't give any background for validation.
Thanks in advance.
and my brain makes such pretty pictures -

He's a singer and smoking effects your voice cords. The numerous times I met him, I didn't smell cigarette smoke on him or his clothing. I would know I'm allergic to cigarette smoke cause it would cause an asthma attack. He also didn't have any cologne on either, or I would have had another asthma attack. He may not smoke full time, just now and then like some of my friends used to do.

Jennybean171, thanks for sharing, that was great little story, your lucky and I envy you!!
I have been projectionist all my life and as a side job have a friend who works as a gaffer on various movies and TV commercials and I often work with him to help out to just perform general-duties/odd-jobs/runner on the sets/locations.
Now when it comes to doing the movies/ads the stars are normally ok, (directors are another matter, strangely movie ones are nicer than TV ad ones!) it's the actors with minor parts and even extra's that are most likely to be w/\nkers that think their sh!t don't stink.
On the projection side I work at an 'upmarket' cinema and from time to time we have the red carpet opening of new movies.
I always get to meet the director and usually the main star because they want to explain how they want things set up for the pre/post show audience participation chat and to explain to me how high they want the volume, ask which sound format we will be running his/their movie in, Dolby Digital-EX, DTS-ES, SDDS etc and they are always quite nice unless unless we get dropouts from digital back to analog during the movie - which is rare anyway, but they get beep if it happens and they notice.
Which reminds when it comes to 70mm (very, very rare these days) the sound track is DTS only111c so we have two DTS players for double redundancy because if the Digital drops out on 70mm you've got no sound at all, now when that happens they get really pissed, because Murphy's Law says it will always happen on a very BIG film at the most important part!
I wish Scott would make a movie that we get to Red Carpet Premier, I'd love to meet him as he has to be one of my favourate actors, if not the favourite! From what I've seen of him in interviews and stuff he seems like he'd be a nice enough guy.
But as for meeting 'stars' in street, well I just don't approach them at all because I know that they are ALWAYS being approached by random people and that would drive me nuts too. I think if I was a 'movie star' and every-other person that I walked pass in public wanted a chat and hand shake, I think it would drive me, you, anyone to become a rude a-hole after a while. So I'm bit lucky that I get to meet them in a more or less professional manner.
The scariest part is IF at the end of a movie the boss gets on the two-way and says, 'Bill the director is coming up to the projection room to see you', I think holy crap what went wrong!! But luckily most time times it's to thank us for a great presentation, it's only when they want to see you DURING the movie that you might be in for some grief!!
Anyway that's just my humble you know what. Sorry for the novel, which most likely bored you to death!

I've met him on a number of occasions, he did a few charity performances over the years since QL ended and I attended one of the conventions, its was pretty cool, you got to talk with the writers, directors, guest stars, etc but was disappointed that Donald chose not to attend, he was going through the divorce from Deborah Pratt and she attended so he didn't show up.
One to the Charity events, we met Scott who was always very nice, extremely polite, very down to earth and he had his parents with him and they were just a personable, friendly and talked to everyone. I think this explains who he is as a person. His parents taught him well. I had on new shoes that were killing me, so I stepped back and found a place to sit and took them off for a few minutes. Then, his wife Chelsy, who was very pregnant at the time, came down and sat next to me and said, you're d5b4oing actually what I want to do, do you mine. No, sit down. She was just as nice, she asked me some questions and my friends were getting ready to leave so I told her it was a pleasure to meet her. Another event was for the school his daughter attended in Santa Monica for performance art and Mary Steenburgen two children attended the same school, Malcolm McDowell and Ted Danson were all there. That was another fun night.
On the Rosie O'Donnell Show was that for the film Major League Back to the Minors. Because I was there in the audience with a bunch of friends, we were from all over the Country, CA, NC, OR, PA, NY, NJ. We were the ones that were brought up on stage to take a photo with him. It was funny Jennifer Aniston was the lead interview and she also appeared in a QL episode. -

He is in London at the moment in a play and is being horrible to people waiting at the stage door to get their programmes signed, mostly refusing to do it. That is part of the job, so if he doesn't like it, he should get another job. The sooner he goes back to his homeland the better, he is not welcome here.

Hmmmm, well seeing as I saw him at the stage door Saturday night, and he spent ten minutes chatting with me and my friends, happily signing programmes and posing for pictures with us, I think you'll find you're very much mistaken.
