I had to share this story, since you spoke of The Soloist, in which Robert Downey Jr. plays journalist named Steve Lopez. One summer, when I was about 11/12 years old, friends and I would walk to a spot at the Delaware River to go fishing. One day, I’m on the dock and a guy approaches me and asks me how the fish were biting (of course, in today’s climate this isn’t something that would go over so well). Anyway, the guy asks if I would mind if he took some notes for an article he was writing…not knowing any better, nor caring, I said sure. It turns out it was Steve Lopez, and he published an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer about me fishing at Penn Treaty Park. It was pretty cool seeing Robert Downey Jr. portray a guy that I’d met and that wrote my article.
Great story, neat to have something related to your childhood show up in a movie, especially if it’s someone that you met once.
