My first celebrity sighting in NYC: David Cross
I was waiting for a table at Decibel with a friend in East Village last Saturday when in walked a guy that looked just like Tobias from Arrested Development (played by David Cross). He has a pretty distinctive look:
but I wasn’t exactly sure it was him. Then I saw that he was with a really beautiful brunette and figured it either had to be David Cross or a rich guy that looked like him. They ended up sitting right next to us and were really into each other so I didn’t want to bother him. I waited until he was about to leave and then told him that Tobias was my favorite character on Arrested Development and that the show should have never gotten canceled.
The funny thing is, had this been most celebrities I probably wouldn’t have cared. Although I am still hoping to run into Larry David one day, or even be involved in some sort of humorous situation with him.

haha. At least you didn’t make a total fool of yourself and gush on and on about how much you love his work.
LUCKY! and patty hit it on the head – i was going to advise you to check gawker stalker and see if anyone else saw him.
there seems to be a lot of sighting sites for NY. Maybe you could verify he was there…
@Natalia - I actually emailed Gawker Stalker, they didn’t put up my report though. I suppose it’s possible he was a fake.
@vikas - i can’t believe there’s a david cross doppelganger running around the east village!
i confess that I have never actually watched that show
@Natalia - if he was the doppelganger he must have been pretty good at it to convince the brunette he was with
@eadie - neither did i until about a month ago, but now i’m hooked!
@patrick - i will definitely check the tattoo next time
@vikas - then perhaps poor publicity was a key factor in leading to the show’s discontinuation
what if that guy gets offended, that you have mistaken him for some bald, weird-looking guy?
I ran into Stephen King up at Cornell once. He told me my shoe was untied.
That was about it. I don’t have a terribly fascinating story. Perhaps my shoe was untied by THE DEMONS OF THE CRIMSON KING’S NINTH CIRCLE…but I didn’t notice.
My third son’s name is Tobias… haha
I met Jason Bateman last september – he’s really nice!
Thanks for subbing!
Take care,

@Drakonskyr - I AM SO JEALOUS. I would LOVE for Stephen King to tell me my shoe was untied.
This is a good sighting. It’s funny living in NYC… you’d think we’d see celebrities all the time, but many of us never do. I didn’t for a long time, then I saw the guy who played the brother from the wonder years walking up Times Square with a friend. He was very short.
im actually hopping to run into putin …lol
i kinda did…only that he was in his limo surrounded by all those police dudes in uniforms riding outrageously ugly motorbikes..hehe
I quite like your profile picture. Usually I dont like setting my profile picture as myself, but I recently took some good pictures as a “Xangsta” (dunno if you’ve kept up with that). I’ll just have to see. If I get too sick of the panda icon, I’ve always got a folder dedicated to pictures of inanimate objects with faces painted on them.
Like I said, it’s some hypnotic shit.
And the History Channel could run that picture over the credits!
MY TV DEBUT
nah, i’m not slovak, i was just making a funny
@eadie - no worries, i figured that. if i actually thought you were the person searching for ‘gorilla prostitutes’ i probably wouldn’t be interacting with you =). not that there’s anything wrong with that.
lol
