It was during a pledge drive at my local PBS station that they had a 'Meet Mr Inman' thing. He seemed like the sort that would be fun to talk to at length. You're quite lucky you got the chance :)
I had noticed how he was flamier than on TV and that amused me to no end. *g*
It always interests me to see what an actor brings to a character and after seeing how he acted IRL it was quite interesting to see what was elements were him and what elements were the character. (if that makes sense).
