I saw Damon Wayans again at school today. My buddy, Atoki, was talking to him, so I planned to just casually walk by and be incorporated into their conversation. But I ended up missing them talking. A friend and I were talking about how sad we were that we missed our opportunity to talk to him, when Atoki offered to introduce us. What?! We were so excited! I actually skipped over there. Atoki introduced Jimmy and then walked off. I commented on that by saying, "thanks for introducing me." That's when Damon looked at me and said, "what's your name?" He shook my hand, and then asked me if I was in the acting program. We talked for a couple of minutes, and then he had to return to class.
I walked back into my classroom telling my classmates that they could shake the same hand that touched Damon Wayans'. My teacher then said, "Edrei, am I going to get complaints about you talking to celebrities?" I responded, "I only speak to people who want to be spoken to." Haha! I love that he is doing the 8 week program. When Shaq came to my school in August, he did a private program where he didn't interact with any of the students. Dam0n is in a regular classroom with other students.
Well, I don't have class again until October, 24th, because we're filming. I'll let you know how it goes!
