I mentioned in passing playing ping pong with Seth Green, but the outing deserves a bit more expansion.
Kath and I wound up getting friendly with Seth and the Robot Chicken guys while hanging out in the convention green room (how appropriate). Consequently we were invited to hang out with them that evening at a nearby pub that had ping pong tables and pool tables in the lower floor.
We took them up on it, and for a while the group of us hung out, drank, played ping pong and were undisturbed. Then I heard a couple of guys at the pool table saying, “Is that Scott Evil?” I wasn’t the only one; Matt Senreich, Seth’s “Robot Chicken” co-creator, muttered, “We’ve been made.”
Over the next few minutes, word spread, and girls started leaving their dates to come over to Seth to talk to him or have their pictures taken with him. A guy sidled over to me while several girls were posing with Seth and he said, with obvious contempt for the girls’ brainpower, “They think he’s Seth Green.”
“Yeah, he gets that all the time,” I said.
The guy nodded, glad to have a voice of reason to talk to. “They don’t realize he’s just a lookalike.”
“Personally, I don’t see that much of a resemblance,” I said.
“Me neither.”
Tends to make one value one’s anonymity.
