For those who can't place the name, staring in American Beauty and Mister Deeds.
So this was like 2011 or 2012. I was in the Navy at the time and heading home on leave. I was wearing my uniform (Dress Whites) cause my family loved seeing me show up like that. So while waiting for my flight in JFK I went into the Delta lounge. They let uniformed members in there at the time.
So I'm sitting at the bar having a drink and chatting with the Bartender and people around me. I'm pretty extroverted. This guy comes up and orders something. I am staring as hard as I can at him sure I recognize him. It's driving me nuts. Finally I can't take it and say "I'm sorry, you look really familiar, have we met before?"
Without missing a beat he goes "I was your math teacher, and I'm very proud of you" and just walks away. Everyone at the bar laughs and im sitting there confused and embarrassed, finally asking "what?" The bartender then tells me that was Peter Gallager the actor. I was shook lol. Such a great burn lol.
The story has a happy ending too. Guy at the bar left me a 100 dollar tab and told me to stop drinking the cheap shit. So I got to try Johnny Walker Blue for the first time.
