"It was never the fame or fortune that drove me to act. It was something I love and enjoy doing it. A lot of people identify who they are by what they do and that's not me. It's what I do but not who I am. Who I am is a parent. I'm a family man." -------Adam Baldwin

Adam is an awesome actor and I was lucky enough to meet him last weekend. He's a really nice guy.. even though there was a huuuuge queue of people queuing for his autograph he still took the time to talk to everyone and shake their hands and everything. He didn't even have time to go for a meal, people had to bring one to him. He was really funny aswell, he was lovely.
