Billy and John help an injured woman and Doctor Who
April 17, 2010
BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist
A tale of two great actors, the human factor, and a humdinger twist.
Case in point: An incident at Trattoria Gianni in Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre district Wednesday night involving actors William "CSI" Petersen and John Malkovich.
• The scene: A young woman in a red hat quietly walks into the Trattoria bar for a nightcap and spots a table occupied by Petersen, who's appearing in Steppenwolf's "Endgame," and Malkovich, a Petersen pal who is a leading member of the august Steppenwolf ensemble.
• The script: The petite blond walks over to the table and tells the men, "I am a huge fan," thanks them for chatting with her, says good night, leaves the restaurant, crosses the street, where a cab hailed by her husband is waiting, and gets hit by a car.
Actors to rescue: The 'CSI' guy :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Michael Sneed
On another note: Watched Doctor Who and I liked this episode far better than...
...the other Dalek episodes.
*The Doctor holds off the Daleks with a cookie, a Jammy Dodger to be exact. I love those cookies.
*The Doctor to a Dalek: "Don't mess with me, sweetheart." *gigglesnort*
*The new Daleks in rainbow colors. We started singing: "Go, go Dalek Rangers!" Mini-me wondered if they all connected would they form a larger Dalek?
*I wonder why Amy doesn't remember the Dalek invasion and moving the planet.
*Next week: RIVER! WOOT! Weeping Angels! WOOT!
More to come...
EDIT: The Hitcher with Neal comes on at 9:00pmEST tonight on the Syfy Channel.
