Great celebrity story.

Living outside of Los Angeles we have more than our fair share of celebrity sightings.  And anyone who has been with me on a trip around LA knows I have an uncanny ability of spotting celebs in all sort of places.  So you would think this story would be from me, but no it comes from Doug.

During a recent trip to Las Vegas, Nevada for a guys weekend Doug noticed a familiar face waiting with him in the Burbank Airport.  Michael Clarke Duncan from movies such as "The Green Mile" was also headed to Las Vegas.  He created a small stir in the waiting area with some excited fans, and Doug said he was pleasant, cordial and overall seemed like a good guy.  Once they landed in Las Vegas and headed to the baggage carousel an excited fan practically skipped over to meet the star.  Their exchange went just like this:

Excited female fan: "Hi, are you Ving Rhames?"

Michael Clarke Duncan: "No, no I am not.  My name is Michael Clarke Duncan."

Less excited female fan: "Oh, well, you look just like him"

Michael Clarke Duncan: "No, no I do not"



As you can see from below he is absolutely correct.  Poor guy must get that a lot.  Anyway, it provided some comedy for us.
