When I had noticed his arrival, my brain had floated out
of the cracks in my skull. I was amazed that I could still stand
from the trembling that had besieged me. THIS IS LUTHER LEE BOGGS,
GRÍMA WORMTONGUE, BILLY BIBBIT, LON SUDER, AND FUCKING CHUCKY FOR
CHRIST’S SAKE. Jesus. Ah, but you could only imagine the idiocy
that ensued after the apology for being so nervous – the first words
that had tumbled out of my mouth, mind. Mr. Dourif was nothing less
of being the most gracious man on the planet. I pointed to the photograph
of Luther Lee Boggs on the table and proceeded to gush most excitedly
about how much I adored, FUCKING ADORED that episode and performance.
Mr. Dourif had said that it was quite a hard role to play, to which
my reply was further nattering of compliments. I asked about the
meaning of the tear at Orthanc in The Two Towers and he said it
was a 'Triumph of the Will' moment & asked whether or not I had
seen it. Yay for Nazi propaganda films. I had brought a Gríma bookmark
and my Return of the King book with me that I was fumbling whilst
trying to hold it in my hands during the duration of the meeting
and I completely forgot the existence of that stupid object. Of
course I had to go back a second time and feel like quite the idiot
doing so, apologizing about half a million times as I was shoving
more paper money at the man.
Ah, but he winked at me before I left!!! That makes everything
better; that and the knowledge that I gave sixty dollars to my favourite
actor on the planet directly. But seriously, I was pleased, so very
pleased. Still am pleased. Pleased I am. I need a job.
