Total Jerk

Waited with my son at the St. Louis Zoo to see Kevin James and the guy was a total jerk. There was not that many people there maybe 150 and he arrived on the zoo train-maybe that's what pissed him off. He didn't look up, didn't smile and only signed autographs for people in the front row. He acted like the whole thing was total waste of his time. My son and I were in the second row I could have touched him if I wanted to and he couldn't sign a piece of paper?? My son was totally disappointed in someone he thought was going to be at least half way decent. Kevin James is a total waste of time. Perhaps it's the fact that he has to make stupid movies now that King Of Queens is over that makes him unhappy.

I'm sorry to hear that. He may have been kind of tired? He's been doing promo non stop for this movie (appearances, radio interviews, podcasts, etc.). I know we all have expectations, but still have to realize that even celebrities are human and have bad days, get tired, you know. He seems like a pretty genuine decent guy. Anyway, sorry that your Son was disappointed. I know it's kind of a big deal for kids. I met Adam West when I was very young and he was really cool. Made my day.

I was looking at some footage. He seems to be signing a lot of stuff for people and smiling, talking. Was this the same day?

Yep that was the same day. I don't know what to say because we were by the train when he first started signing. He just wasn't happy. I get people are tired and etc but it was weird. I met Kirk Gibson and Lance Parrish when I was younger and they were awesome. Seeing Kevin James was so exciting for my son and it just bummed him out.

It is part of their jobs to go out on the publicity tours. Any professional knows that you play your part, leave your own baggage at the door. So, as we know, James is hardly what one would call professional, given his ability to act, I guess he figures he can do whatever he wants.

You probably shouldn't encourage your child to see his movies, they are tacky and stupid.

The help can't speak to him, they can only speak through his assistant. Sends in his people into the store and tells everyone not to make eye contact with him or even look at him. I wish I was shopping in that store and would love to see someone tell me to look down. Bullets would be flying everywhere. Security is to protect, not to bully the general population because Kevin James says you can't look at him. He's an *beep* you would expect him to be nice playing a funny guy, but he's a dick playing a funny guy.

I've always wondered about that. What's gonna happen of I DO look him in the eyes? They can't arrest me. And they don't own the joint so they can't throw me out. What would he do?

Well on the production set, he might get you fired. You can't do much about it either since it's probably in your contract.

Don't get hurt kid. I'm not your daddy, I'll beat you senseless.
