This section has some pictures
and stories about some of the things I've encountered. I travel a bit for
work, and I've managed to run into some cool people. So, here's some of my
favorite pictures and stories.
|
 Luke Skywalker. Me. My 1st E3.
'Nuff said.
|
 The Champ. Muhamed Ali. That's
me smiling all wide -- probably one of the coolest moments of my life. True
story: I walked up to him and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you,
CHAMP." and he said, "Did you say CHAMP or CHUMP?" Man -- I
thought he was going to beat the crap out of me right there (don't be
fooled by how he appears on TV -- he's still a pretty spry guy). Then the
guy took the picture. The reason I'm smiling so wide is because I thought
this would be the last opportunity to get a picture of all my teeth.

 Here
I am with Michelle Yeoh at a cover shoot for my upcoming PlayStation game Tomorrow Never Dies. Many of
you may recognize her from the Tomorrow Never Dies film as Chinese secret
agent "Wai Lin". Those more movie-savvy viewers will know her
from her Hong
Kong
martial-arts films Police Story 3: Supercop with Jackie Chan, Supercop 2
and Wing Chun. She is also one of the most beautiful women I have seen in
person, and she's super cool!

 A few years after meeting
Luke, here I am with a whole BATCH of Star Wars actors! Clockwise from top:
Me. David Prowse (Darth Vader), Kenny Baker (R2-D2),
Maria (Greedo), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett). I was at a convention and
became friends with the lady running the Men Behind the Masks tour.
She arranged for this photo right as the show ended, and I was the only one
allowed to do it. There were a couple dozen people taking pictures because
it was the only time they were together in a group. I know there are a
bunch of people with pictures like this wondering what friggen' Star Wars
character I played...

 Here I am on the set of the PlayStation video game NUCLEAR STRIKE. The
Tiger - real. No cage. Untied. The leash you see was not attached to
anything, but the trainer was just outside the shot. If you've ever heard
the purr of a house cat (and I assume everyone has), the purr of a tiger is
very similar. Except it's louder. And deeper. And this cat could kill you.

 Here I am dressed as
"Carl" from the movie "Sling Blade". If you haven't
seen the movie, you probably won't appreciate the costume. Evidently,
nobody at the party saw the movie because everyone thought I was Forest
Gump.

 Here I am with Jimmy Eat
World, who were in concert with Tenacious D on November
15th, 2001 – the same day the Xbox launched. Working for
Xbox, we delivered the band one of the first consoles along with a bunch of
games and controllers. They were super cool guys and excited about getting
the games! For me the best part…

 Was meeting Tenacious D. We got to hang in
their trailers before the show, and then afterward went to get some
autographs. Super cool guys!
