In the midst of our conversation, I see this guy walk in and he looked soooo familiar that I just mentally said to myself that I knew him from somewhere. I couldn't quite put my finger on where and when we had met, but I KNEW that we had met before.
Katya and I kept talking and eventually he made his way around the room right to where I was sitting and he basically sat right next to me, said hi, said his name, Will, and proceeded to talk and ask lots of questions about my accent, what I did, etc. The whole time I was thinking, oh well, I guess he doesn't remember meeting me before, but he seemed really nice and the conversation was good so I didn't say anything.
I'd have to say a good 15 minutes passed before it finally dawned on me that I DID NOT know him, at least not personally anyway. He said something about liking chocolate as he reached for a piece of this chocolate brownie/cake thing. For some reason that jarred my memory and I remembered where and how I knew him. I'm a pretty avid The Real World on MTV fan(ok, lame I know) most seasons and I definitely watched The Real World Hollywood last season. He was Will Gilbert. The cute guy with the dreads.
In one of the episodes he had talked a whole lot about liking chocolate. Immediately, I started laughing and so he asked me what was so funny. I told him and he said he thought that I had been looking at him kinda weird. I told him that I was just about to ask him why he was acting like he didn't know me, lol!!! Oh well, at least we had a good laugh. I guess I need to do a better job separating reality tv from reality!!
You know what's the worst? I did the exact same thing, with another Real World cast member several years ago at a New Year's Eve party after a glass or two of champagne...didn't know that guy either, lol!!

I'm also a RW fan and would have been excited to meet him! Funny! The closest I've come to meeting a RW roomie is that dountry guy from one of the very early seasons... Jon. He lived with Beth and Dominic and Tami and what's his name (the pulling the blanket off incident... what was his name??)...

Will was the coolest cat on that season of RW (whatever season it was); he was a real character. That's kinda cool, you meeting him and all.
Only you Jack
lol
That's too funny!
That was hilarious!!
I can kinda relate. People are always mistaking me for either Shemar Moore or Flava Flav. Cursed good looks!
I just did that with Vincent Young from 90210 (he played Noah Hunter) at a bar in Philly last week. I said Hi to him cuz I thought I knew him. I said "I know you from somewhere." He smiled and when he did I realized. I said "Ooohhh from TV." We exchanged pleasantries and chatted for awhile. He's still fine!
To my mind everyone may read it.
