I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting. I almost met David Tennant and Patrick Stewart, but it was not meant to be. Onodrim and I went to England to see the production of Hamlet they were both in at the Royal Shakespeare Company. There's a
small pub down the street that the actors are known to hang out at after performances and sometimes before, so of course we went there. Most of the rest of the cast did show up, but Tennant and Stewart were apparently taking the night off from public interaction. If we had gone one night earlier, they both would have been there! I'm
still bummed about that.
