Gabriel Basso plays Laura Linney's son on The Big C and he does a great job. He was once standing next to me at the Apple store at The Grove, but I couldn't figure out who he was in time to ask him for a picture. My friend Mikey met Gabriel when he was promoting Super 8 and said he was super nice, so I was sad I hadn't asked him at the Apple store.
Which is why it surprised me when we met that he tried to "Not right now" me. In case you're not familiar with that reference, it means I asked him for a picture and he attempted to say, "Not right now, I'm in a hurry." Um, what was that? It was the middle of the day, no one was around, he was walking down the street in a leisurely fashion, and no one knew who he was, so I thought he could take the two seconds to take the picture. Not right now....are you kidding me? To make things worse, a day or two later he and his friend decided to waltz up and down Main Street for the entire afternoon wearing head to toe fur coats like pimps. Yep, nothing like keeping a low profile, guy. Even after all that "look at me" bravada, I still had to tell the paparazzi who he was. They had no idea. Not right now me......come on.
