See, that's the thing. I don't care what it's worth. I'm collecting personalized autographs from the cast/crew on my poster for my own private collections. Michaels autograph is worth a couple hundred, but if I ever got the chance to have him sign my poster, I would ask him to please personalize it.

Just like Max Baer Jr. should embrace his portrayal of Jethro Bodine, like Tina Louise should embrace Ginger Grant, and Paul Reubens should embrace Pee-Wee Herman. Sometimes an actor just gets tired of being remembered as one thing, which often leads to type-casting and messing up their careers. I think the best examples of actors whose careers were ruined by typecasting but were very good sports about it would be Adam West and Burt Ward. Their careers went belly-up after Batman. West was in a string of failed TV pilots and movies that bombed hard, almost like he was cursed, but he and Ward still embrace their personas of the Dynamic Duo. This doesn't apply to everyone however, and I'm willing to bet Thomas hears "what's up, butthead?" 50 times a day, after a while it's bound to get to him. Jack Haley was the same way with his role as The Tin Man, in interviews before he died, he talked about how it was a pain in the aluminum ass to wear the costume, and how he seemed to dislike only being remembered in that one role.

It is hard for human beings to put their lives into perspective. If they could put themselves in the shoes of the anonymous masses, they might be able to appreciate being remembered by so many for something. The vast majority of people will not be remembered by many for anything, so even being remembered for a role you no longer care for is something special.
