Ernie Sabella
New York, NY
This man has to be one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He's Ernie Sabella - the Nyquil guy, the voice of Pumbaa from The Lion King, and Seinfeld's naked subway guy. He's also appeared on numerous other sitcoms, including Cheers and Mad about You, and can be seen in several films, such as Quiz Show, In & Out, and Mouse Hunt. He's also a successful Broadway actor, and here I had just seen him perform the role of Lycus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
And he was always the last one to leave after Forum, because he took extra time to sign autographs for everyone and to pose for this picture with me. In fact, when I returned again two weeks later, he actually recognized me and stopped a moment to talk.
