Type-casting

Living in the ciudad de Los Angeles means that celebrity sightings are not a rare occurence. Although it's been a dry star-spotting spell for me lately, I did get treated to a glimpse of my other comedy crush, Mr. Wallace Langham (Arrested Development's Will Arnett being the latter to his former), at a comedy show.

Actually, I didn't even know that Wallace Langham was his name until I looked him up on IMDB after my sighting. I've been watching old episodes of The Larry Sanders Show lately and admiring W.L.'s comic chops as the bitter writer Phil. And then there was his hilarious turn as Carrie's sty-eyed simu-date on Sex and the City.

Fortunately, I didn't get within fawning distance of him or there could have been an I'm-not-worthy kowtow a la Wayne's World if I had. Not knowing his actual name probably would've made a poor impression anyway: "I love your work...you."

Now that I think about it, Wallace and Will look a lot alike and have played very similar acridly funny asses. And here I thought I was over that type.
