As I mentioned elsewhere, I took my daughter on a day trip to FanExpo Boston to meet her favorite actor, Mads Mikkelsen, and other stars including Marisa Tomei and Vincent D\u2019Onofrio (boy did I love him on Law & Order: Criminal Intent). While we were waiting in line for Charlie Cox, my daughter noticed that Bryce Dallas Howard had a small line and since she\u2019s seen her movies and we\u2019re all redheads, she was interested in meeting her.<\/p>\n
Bryce Dallas Howard is Ron Howard\u2019s daughter. Yes, my daughter didn\u2019t know who Ron Howard was, but she knew Bryce. All I can say is that Bryce is probably one of the nicest people I\u2019ve met at an autograph signing, up there with Brandon Nimmo from the Mets. If you know the story about Ron and his wife, Bryce being a wonderful person is no surprise. My daughter went up again later to thank Bryce for being so nice and Bryce told my daughter that comment met my day.<\/p>\n
All of the stars we met at the show were very nice. Of course, I didn\u2019t pay to see Chevy Chase, he has a reputation for being not-so-nice at times. You need the right temperament to meet people publicly and charge for autographs and photo ops.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve met a lot of great people in the retirement plan industry. On a couple of hands, I\u2019ve met people who are not so nice. I\u2019ve felt it\u2019s easy to be nice, it takes effort to be mean. It takes a lot of work to just offend people. Being easy with people, and trying to develop relationships may seem like work, but being nice is just decent human behavior and I think negativity takes something out of you for showing it publicly.<\/p>\n
