Hugh’s Escort
A great article popped up online. It’s an interview with a gentleman who covered security for the Patriots/NY Giants game last Sunday (I’m still a bit miffed the Pats lost…dammit). The security guard, 58 year old Bill Hurrelbrink, used to be a firefighter and decided that he’d answer an ad to be security for the big game. After some training, he took his spot in the building as security.
He says that he saw lots of celebrities, but got up close and personal with one celebrity:
“One guy I really liked was Hugh Laurie (star of the TV doctor-drama, ‘House’),� Hurrelbrink added. “I was at the 108 section of the stands, watching the last three, four minutes of the game and then the presentation of the (Lombardi) trophy, and people started coming up the steps leaving.
“I looked up and it was him, and he had a ball cap on. The guy with him asked me to escort them out to Gate 3, so we took him out. He pulled his ball cap down but, just like Willie Nelson, he stopped to autograph something for a few people that recognized him.
“I took them out where all the limousines were parked and said, ‘Your show’s my favorite; you’re so witty,’ and he said, ‘Thank you.’ I asked if he’d mind if we would take a picture, and (his friend) took our picture together. I sure hope it comes out OK.�
I’m so glad that Bill did the interview to give people a little taste of what Hugh’s like when he’s out and about. And Bill, if you read this, we’d love to see a photo you took!

You mean to tell me that a big star like Hugh Laurie wasn’t in the lauxury box with all the other “big” stars?

Hugh seems to be just a nice ordinary guy whose job happended to be “an actor”. He’s not happy with ’side-effects’ of the job. He’s been doing the job for years and suddenly all this fame and popularity came… and lack of time and privacy…
I can imagine he might be stressed sometimes.
He is extra if ordinary and deserves respect and wise love.
