It Is kind of funny the more I think about it, but I got on the elevator This morning, with a guy who looked and acted exactly like Anthony Hopkins. I asked him do people ever Mistake you for Anthony Hopkins and he laughed and said no. But the more I pressed him, the more he sort of gave answers that in retrospect I would guess it was him.

I would say there's a good chance he was staying here to avoid the publicity. His looks, mannerisms and responses just were to exact. E.g. he said things like doesn't he have a British accent, and isn't he dead, and his wife downstairs said I wish you made his money.

Anyway good for him, I told him I would just leave him alone. I remember once I was on the North Slope flying from one small village to another and the actor klaus maria brandauer got on the plane in the back and was sitting on the floor. I could see he was tired and wanted to be left alone.

He looked at me and noticed that I recognized him and I gave him a slight nod and then closed my eyes letting him know I would not bother him.
