Ed Harris USA Film Festival 2014

I’ve always had a thing for quirky movies. They don’t need to be box office smashes for me to like them.  One of the first movies I remember being captivated by was Knight Riders.  It’s a Romero movie but not a horror movie.  Ed Harris was the star of that film and I’ve been a fan of his since. 

He arrived looking casual in a sports coat, blue jeans, and worn cowboy boots.  He signed for everyone all the while insisting he need needed to leave.  As a young boy, maybe 8 years old came up, he bent over. The little one only had a program of the film festival.  Ed asked the boy his name.  Then he signed the program.  He personalized it.  He wrote an inscription as he repeated to the kid.  It basically said, be a good boy, but not so good that you don’t have some fun too.

A nice quirky inscription from a favorite actor.
