Actors and Me

Incomplete list of actors and celebrities i possibly and unknowingly interacted with since 1995 when i came in the US and before. I would try to avoid the real big names of important persons.

1995:

Ahmet Ertegun as pastor Aurel Popescu (there are other two Aurel Popescu in the US).

Van Morrison (i forgot the Romanian name, at Aurel Popescu's Church) Might have been my classmate in Romania at Tehnoton HS, 75-78 and as Mihai and in college as Mihai Ursachi. .

Malin Bergrren as Mălina Mladin

John F Kennedy Jr. as Tom Barwik (My boss at Sheridan Fruit September 1995 - January 1996)

Liviu Dragnea as Liviu Gorea also my boss at Sheridan (every body was my boss in there and any other job)

Robin Williams as Mircea (Adrian's father) at Sheridan

Mary Sladek from NASA, wife of Vladimir Tismăneanu, as the "tall californian blonde".

Dennis Weaver (Sherrif McCloud) as Sandy, the security guy at Sheridan

many others.

1997

Sinéad O'Connor as Holly at Epson Portland Incorporated (i might have met her in Romania at Tehnoton High Shcool in Iasi). Worked 5 months next to her on a printers' assembly line.
Tom Cruise as David Higgins at Beaverton Nazarene Church across the street from Sussex, Beaverton, my mechanic until 2002

Leslie Nielsen (Naked Gun) as Ron Boger, the church
Don S. Davies, (Lieutenant General George Hammond, Stargate Atlantis) at Les Schwab Aloha.
Van Morrison again as assistant manager McCracken.
Jason Donovan as Jason.
Still don't know who was Bill the manager but he was also looking like a classmate from Tehnoton, Viorel Rusu.
Iulian's father (still can't decide who Iulian is, possibly Bill Gates or a lookalike), Richard Rockefeller. I might have met him in Romania, at a wedding in 1980, in Roman, Romania, (with Monica Belluci and Joan Jett, my ex HS classmates) at the Liberal Party in Bacău as Popescu in early 90s, just before i left, when i got from him Iulian's address, and also here, once in Salem at Iulian's house and this year at the Exhaust Specialties & Brakes in Tualatin, together with David Bowie though in different days.

1998
Andy Carson, channel 12 anchor, as my manager at Softlink (Qaudramed).
Tina Fey, as one of the secretaries, the same job.
Cameron Diaz, yet another secretary.
Macy Gray, yet another secretary (she got the name of her hit Try from my first programs in Delphi and also me complaining of breathing problems).
Peter O'Tool as another manager, Tom Allen.

1999

Axl Rose, as my manager at AVX, Orvile Oster (note that Oster is an anagram of Roset)
Omar Sharif, as Pat Shaffer, another tech there.
A couple of guys from the military, now dead.
Don Henley, as tech Dan Lumbert.
Nino d'Angelo as Tudor Toader.

2002

Harrison Ford as dr.Kenneth Erickson (psychiatry) at Woodland Park Hospital. The hospital closed in

2004 for many years and reopened under different name and ownership

2003 Tudor Aaron Istodor as Cristi Aniței, in Portland and his apartment in Seattle.

2004

John Travolta? or a lookalike as Timotei Mitrofan, my ex HS class mate, now director of Bible League, on Luigi Cazzavillan str, Bucharest (not sure about the address).

Roger Vadim, as ing.geolog Emil Rusu, i knew him since Câmpulung.

Can't remember exactly when Christine McVie from Fleetwood Mac became manager at Sussex Village Apts @2000. Together with Carole King, both under their real name, Christine and Caroline, Caroline being there until i left in 2010. I was seing them almost daily from my kitchen window doing their job duties. Time period for both corresponds with their carriers' hiatuses.

Servando "La Tuta" Gomez, one of my neighbors. He had a red Toyota parked next to our place in the covered car ports.

Maya Morgenstern, as Cristina Botez. Probably my condo neighbor Violeta in Bacău, Romania. Met her on and off until i started to realize who she might be @2008.

Iceland born actor and producer Sigurjón Sighvatsson as dr.Sigurtson (psychiatry) at Providence St.Vincent.

2005 was the year she moved from next door at Sussex? Winona Rider, who is actually blonde.

It was around that time i met Cornelia, the new wife of Tudor Toader. I saw them both at both Romanian Churches in Portland, she might have been Angela Gheorghiu or Elena Udrea.

Richard Branson as Richard Breunissen, counselor at OVRS (Oregon Vocational Rehabilitation then located acrross the street from Harley Davidson dealership and Washington Square Mall in Tigard Oregon).

Jorge Mario Bergoglio aka Pope Francis as David Hitt, also a psychologist at OVRS. He once insisted we met in public in the newer library in Beaverton.

2010

Kelly Clarkson as Ana, my next door neighbor (Apt.9) at 47 Eagle Crest Lake Oswego, with sometimes doubles, until i left in 2015

Not sure yet who her boyfriend was, maybe David Lynch.

2013

Kanye West, my down stairs neighbor? Actually saw him once or twice.
T'Pau from Heart and Soul, my down stairs neighbor. Doubles, sometimes only one person was "manning either Apt.9 next door or six below).

Phil Knight as officer Norbert, at Lake Oswego Police department and different name at Multnomah County Sherif Department?

Nicușor Constantinescu, downstairs. He and others let the bathroom fan running for 2 years making me really sick from vibration and dust shaken from walls. There was a pipe leaking in one of the walls from my apartment and probably the one downstairs was stinking like mold. Vibration was making the leak worse, in a cycle.

2014, Petre Mircea, sound engineer, Mădălina Manole's husband? For a couple of years all the white guys living (coming and going downstairs) where using the same car and clothes, but probably totally different persons pretending to be the same.

2015.

While Angela was in Romania for a month in May-June one night i met with Taylor Swift and her really sick looking mother, not sicker than me that night, at the Walgreens store in Lake Oswego near I5. I also saw her before, sometime @ her album Red at Tryon in the parking lot and then on the trail. I also saw her mother on numerous occasions working at the self checking registers at Home Depot.

The more recent period is harder to remember as, especially at Eagle Crest, i was permanently under influence of intoxicants of all kind, starting with cat and dog poo, cantharide dust and all kinda of drugs under the form of smoke coming through walls from downstairs and next door. Sometimes to the point of passing out. There are also a lot of persons i hesitate to name because i have no choice but to interact with them.
