So Many Actors, So Little Time

I’ve been traveling today and have landed in the great state of Texas.  And although I believe a certain Mr. Matthew McConnaghey is more likely to be spotted in Austin as opposed to the Dallas/Fort Worth area where I’m currently located, I’d be a big, fat, honking liar.  I mean, I’d love to have a cocktail or two with Mr. McConna-heeeeyyy.  (*Wipes drool from chin.*)  But, I’m not sure how much we’d talk about.  I’d probably spend the whole evening listening to that pure Texas drawl and hoping he’d spontaneously remove his shirt.

If I were to hang with someone more cerebral, but equally charm-worthy, I’d have to go with Matt Damon.  (Hmm, I’m sensing a trend with these names.  Matthew…Matt)  I love how he appears to be so down to earth.  How can he not be?  His mom is/was a teacher.  He’s got an Oscar for screenwriting with his bud Ben Affleck for “Good Will Hunting.”  And the thing is, I’m not a psycho-delusional “number one fan” and know everything about him, so I could actually have a conversation with the guy.

Speaking of Oscar winners, let’s hear it for my gal and fellow East Carolina University alum, Sandra Bullock.  My current work-in-not-nearly-as-much-progress-as-I’d-like is along the lines of “Miss Congeniality” meets “Mean Girls.”  I can watch “Miss Congeniality” all day long.  I can do the same with “The Blind Side” for which she won an Oscar, but I’d need a Costco-sized box of tissues.  We could chat about our ECU days in the theater and dance department (which weren’t at the same time).  I have touched the same ballet bars she has.  I kind of hope they didn’t Lysol her mojo off of them.

I wish I could say there was just one famous actor or actress I could hang out with, but I’m afraid if I ever found that genie bottle, I’d totally mess it up and end up with someone who has completely commandeered the crazy train.

What actor/actress would you want to meet?  Do shots with at your local bar?  Mud wrestle?  Go on!  Be daring!
