As has been well documented in the pages of this blog, I have a gift for spotting celebrities on my trains. In fact, as many of you know, I am the self-proclaimed "Conductor to the Stars."
Tonight, I must admit, I even surprised myself. Meet John Gilchrist (photo below.) John is an Advertising Executive with the ESPN Network in Manhattan, and he was a passenger on my 6:07 train home tonight. Because I am gifted in the art of star spotting, I immediately recognized John as his alter-ego.
Can you?
If you can guess where you've seen John before, you just might have what it takes to be the next "________to the Stars!"
Need a hint?
John was a child actor.
Got it now?
Here are a few more hints:
- Urban legend claims that John died from mixing Pop Rocks and Coca Cola. (Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.)
- He starred in a TV commercial (with his brothers) in which he didn't even have a speaking part.
- He likes "life."
Sorry, but if you don't have the answer by now, you're just not worthy of the "To the stars" title.
Answer:
"He likes it!...Hey Mikey!"
Thanks to John Gilchrist for giving me permission to use his name and likeness in this post.
