Once, I was in the same room as Paris Hilton, and I’ve shaken hands with Jessica Simpson and some other A to C list celebs for beauty events when I used to be a beauty editor. But while I was waiting for the phone call from the PR person for this Bon Appetit interview, I was actually pretty nervous. At that point, I hadn’t gotten around to seeing “Julie & Julia,” and only knew that he was the trusty sidekicks in movies I’d care not to see but came across on HBO anyway, like “The Devil Wears Prada,” though his acting CV is much broader than what’s covered by my narrow perception. I still have yet to see “Big Night,” but it is on my Netflix queue, but not before my Mad Mens. (This must tell you what a terrific journalist/interviewer I am.) He was perfectly pleasant and knew a lot about Italian food, and when we were done with the interview, he said, “Nice talking to you.” I don’t hear that everyday.
