House of Cards Event (supplemental post #2)

I totally forgot to post about this event when it happened a few weeks back. I went to a screening of the first episode of the newest season of Netflix's House of Cards (even though I had already finished the entire season).  Both director James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross) and actor Michael Kelly (who plays Doug Stamper on the show--my favorite character) were there and held a Q&A session after the screening. I got to meet them both, which was cool except that I am the most star struck person to ever live although I am trying to grow out of this (because it's as impractical as it is embarrassing).

(the most terrible selfie ever, I cringe)

Michael Kelly is nothing like his character, (not that I thought  he would be) but it got me thinking about how a lot of times it is difficult to extricate the person from the character they play or the persona they embody.
