Some Celebrities Are Just Jerks...

This is sort of part two of my famous people story that takes place in Vancouver. I don't really want to name names of famous people who were less than friendly, so if you can figure it out from all the subtle hints I'm leaving, that would be great.

There was a television series that was filmed in Vancouver in the 90’s called the X-files. One of the series stars shopped in our location on Robson Street on a regular basis, usually on Sundays. He was rather infamous for knocking the filming of the series in Vancouver because he felt it rained too much. I helped him many times find a lot of music he was looking for. He was always surly and uncommunicative and wore big sunglasses and his pants hiked up to his nipples, which I think he believed was a disguise and no one would recognize him!!! Sunglasses in the pouring rain were a bit of a giveaway. Whenever he cashed out some star struck female employee would say they knew who he was and loved the show and he would literally just grunt. One Sunday I asked him if he would like to autograph our wall of fame in the back room and his response was more like wall of shame and no thanks. I would also see him around the city, especially walking the seawall with two of the other male stars and they were nice and greeted people, however, him...still surly!!!

On another note about this actor, his new television series , Californication, is one of my all time favourite shows and I can’t get enough of Hank Moody and his Moodyisms.
