Corresponding with Actors on Facebook

Recently I left a message with former child actor Johnny Whitaker, who is the same age as me, and I told him that I enjoyed watching him in various shows and movies as a child.  He was nice enough to respond and we talked a bit.  It turns out he has relatives who grew up close to Columbus.

Bill Mumy was a more famous actor as a child and as an adult.  He played in multiple science fiction shows both as a child and as an adult.  I left him a comment on Facebook which read....

"I just want to say thanks for making my world a little brighter. I'm a big sci-fi fan."

... which he gave a thumbs up to.  It is nice for him to give feedback.  Although this might not have been him personally, I think that it probably was.  It looks like he manages his own Facebook page, and not some publicist.

George Lucas likes to say that actors and directors are just ordinary people who happen to be good at one thing.
