Sometimes I can place the face but don’t know the name. In this case, I really didn’t remember the face, but I let his name and list of credits speak for themselves. He had been in 18 episodes of Cagney & Lacey as the recurring character Detective Jonah Newman. He’d been Billy the Kid in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. He’d even had a small role as one of the deputies in Red Rock West. But it was on the strength of his Disney connection that I opted to pick up a signed photo of him. He had been the character RAM in Disney’s Tron – but without the blue glowing attire and dog bowl helmet, I’d have trouble placing him on the street. But rest assured, it was Dan Shor. Yes, I’m sure.
Our time together at the Chiller Show in Parsippany, New Jersey, on April 28, 2012 didn’t amount to much, but I recall that he was a very nice guy. He posed for a free picture and I walked away with a nice memory and a nice piece to slip into my collection of Disney-related autographs.
My friends, my fellow conscripts, I have scored. I feel so much better.
Celebrity encounters from the Fall 2012 Chiller Theatre show will continue…
