Michael Rosenbaum AKA Lex Luthor of the WB/CW’s Smallville. I knit him a hat many many moons ago, and gave it to him during one of his appearances at the yearly Ronald McDonald House Charities Microsoft Hockey Challenge here in Seattle.
I gave the bag with the hat and a couple of other things in it to one of the helpful staff people during the break between 2nd & 3rd periods, went to the bathroom and when I got back to my seat, he burst out of the locker room and onto the ice wearing the hat and making very excited gestures. It was hilarious, especially as the person I was with started WHOOPING with glee and pointing at me (I was doing my best to become invisible) and waving her arms and we had a strange and bizarre exchange that was funny and, well, funny and I’m glad he liked it. Or at least acted like he liked it. :D
I thought it’d be hard for a guy with no hair to shoot eps in Vancouver, BC during the winter, so I made him a very woolly hat and hope it helped during those hours he wasn’t on set.
Why yes, I AM a total dork. :D
I should mention that this was like the second or third thing I think I ever really knit. It’s not the most fabulous hat ever, but I enjoyed working with the handspun I believe I bought off of eBay from someone in either Michigan or Wisconsin.
