Rushian King Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Not me. A friend of mine did though. She was on a walk in a park around the Bloor Viaduct (those who know Toronto know where that is) on Saturday morning. She stopped to talk to some people who all had the same type of dog-- Yorkshire Terrier (she thinks it was that kind). After she walked away one of the guys ran after her and said, "you know who that was? Geddy Lee and his mom!" My friend's not a fan but does know what he looks like and believes it really was him. He was a skinny guy with long, dark hair in a ponytail, round-lensed sunglasses and a big nose. Oh well, someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I told my gf that I could get a long hair wig and some round sunglasses and a fake big nose and go to a Halloween party as Geddy Lee her comment was "oh, you wouldn't need the fake big nose". Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevorkazito Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 This thread gave me some "off-topic" deja-vu about walking a dog and meeting someone famous... I was walking my parents dog about 7 years ago and this dude walks up to me and asks what kind of dog it was. I told him I didn't know and then he mentioned a breed and I said "that's it". Then, I look at the guy and I recognize him... I say to him, "are you an actor?" He said "yes, we are filming a couple of blocks from here...". We trade pleasantries and part ways... curious? It was the guy who played the NBC president who fell in love with Elaine on Seinfeld. But meeting Geddy, that would be great. I think he's the coolest of the triumvirate when it comes to interfacing with the public/fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) That's the area that he lives in...amazing neighborhood. Considering they're in the middle of recording, I wonder if that means they're recording in Toronto. Edited November 11, 2011 by Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cool though. Not necessarily. Like I said she's not a fan and she was more interested in the dogs than the people. I don't think it's that easy recognizing someone you randomly see. Years ago a girlfriend of mine came to surprise me at work. I looked right at her but didn't recognize her until she took her sunglasses off. I wasn't expecting to see her and I'd never seen her wear sunglasses before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I call bullshit. no offense but I think your friend was mistaken. everyone with long hair and a big nose gets accused of looking like Geddy for some reason.. people with small dogs always look like celebrities. ...and besides, I was with Geddy's mom that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you have one Rushhead uber excited and geeking out about meeting Geddy Lee and in his excited tells the other individual who also talked to Geddy. Geddy Lee, doing some dog walking with his mom. It's cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be getting a little chubby, not that it would be noticed under warm clothes this time of the year in the great white north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty cool and knowledgeable about dogs; how weird to bump into him in a neighborhood in Winnipeg on a dark spring night... to this day I can't remember that dog's breed... some Asian word, but not Lhaso Apso LOL!

Not necessarily. Similar thing happened to me. I was walking my dog and ran into two guys who were walking their dogs. We stopped and talk about the dogs while they were getting acquainted (sniffing and stuff). Stood there for about five minutes. One of the guys was wearing a baseball hat and sun glasses. A few minutes after I walked away, I thought how the guy's voice sounded familiar and then realized it was Jim Parsons, Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory.
