vonmar Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Again, can't say thank you enough to those who have shared their adventures...Jim on Broadway, talk shows, Inside The Actors Studio, etc...this what just makes hiatus fun for me. Welcome Bluestarlight...your English is wonderful, where are you from?...I so admire fans on this forum and others who tell us that English is not their native language, every single time I amazed by fans that are so expressive, while using a language that is secondary to them and have had a desire to learn and use English, which is (in my opinion) a very difficult language to learn.. I (pathetically), only speak a little New Yawk (from there), a little midwest (live there), a smattering of pig-latin, some ASL and a tiny bit of German and Spanish (thank you grandma and my son who is a teacher).

rachelshamyfan Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've noticed a few of the tennis players doing their initials as a loop and if I was just getting a JP I would be so darn happy about it, they have loads to sign so it shouldn't be a problem to have loops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a non-native speaker, thank you for saying that! English is my third language (Czech is my native and German is my second) and although I feel more and more sure with my English skills as time goes by, it's still quite hard sometimes to find the right words, haha. So it's nice to know that native speakers don't mind our mistakes that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, you do better than many native speakers quite often. Welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantagrae Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So, every couple of days or so, I go through the #anactofgod postings on IG, and I always wonder about a couple of things... Why does Jim have those bodyguards? Does he feel threatened or has he been threatened in the past? Do you think it's his idea, or maybe someone else's idea (his agent, manager, the theater people, WB?) Is it normal for stars on Broadway to have escorts like that? What is it with the "Trees are stupid" quote that people often put in their hashtags? In regard to the bodyguards, I remember going to an event with Patrick Stewart when he was still in STTNG. It was a small official fan club function and we had brunch together. At one point he went from table to table to speak to each of us, but he had a guy shadowing him. Good thing he did, because at one point the guy whispered something in his ear and Patrick quickly yanked the hem of his sweater down. Turns out his fly was open...

kerrycec03 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Phanta, there are a ton of one liners like that in the play. Its great. My keychain says "I AM GOD, if you want anything, you ask.....politely". All the merch says the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegcarr Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) He has so many one liners it's hard to out some of it into context. My mug says "I work in mysterious ways. When I even bother to show up for work." I wanted a mug but when I went to buy one at my last show they were sold out and waiting for more stock. Just goes to show you should buy something the first time you see it. So, every couple of days or so, I go through the #anactofgod postings on IG, and I always wonder about a couple of things... Why does Jim have those bodyguards? Does he feel threatened or has he been threatened in the past?

Good thing he did, because at one point the guy whispered something in his ear and Patrick quickly yanked the hem of his sweater down. Turns out his fly was open... I wondered about the bodyguard I didn't see anyone else with one just the security at the door at the shows I went to and the fans seem well behaved. Did he have one previously at other shows? I think Darren Criss might have one as well. Edited June 11, 2015 by pegcarr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantagrae Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Does he ever have a bodyguard when he's at functions in LA? I think when he would do the LA talk shows or functions, he would have his manager or someone like that with him, but I don't remember seeing anyone that looked like a bodyguard in LA. Maybe because they know there's a waiting audience and they don't want things getting out of hand. Dunno. I wonder how Jim feels about it. It doesn't seem to bother him, but I wonder how he feels--like a rock star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonmar Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Except for the plays, I've never seen pictures of him with with personal security, only security provided by the venue he is at (security guards, local police etc). When he does talk shows and other events it seems that he is usually only accompanied by his publicist. My guess would be that he is too darn nice for his own good and if he didn't have someone there to move him along at the AAOG stage door he would be out there all night posing for selfies and signing stuff for people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Theaters production companies are going to protect their primary talent. Jim is the reason people show up to this play to be honest...so of course they are going to make sure he is well protected. They provide the body guards, just like they did when he was in Harvey. They need to make sure that their talent are healthy and in good shape because they loose a lot of money if something happens to their talent.

I always travel with a jacket and an umbrella regardless of season or forcast on the assumption that if I bring them I won't need them (hopefully) but if I leave them at home I will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
