"The label you give yourself cannot impact external forces that are not motivated by your own psychology or influenced by a third party's pre-existing consciousness of you. We are all presented with reasons to struggle which come from completely external forces; to pretend that one is not struggling is either arrogance or an admission of defeat. To admit that one is struggling is a sign and a source of strength." - Evan A. Baker

I'm Famous in Japan

A while back, I got an email from someone asking me for some personal information like my birthday and what schools I went to so that he could create a wiki page for me because he was shocked I didn't have one.

I was shocked he thought I needed one.

After some off sounding emails, I did some digging and realized oh! He's not trying to steal my identity! He's just European!

I'm kinda big there. My huge television debut, "What Should You Do?" (not a game show, despite Leeza Gibbons hosting) sold overseas, and god knows how many other recreated events shows I did ended up across the pond as well.

And all the way over to the Land of the Rising Sun!

Someone in Nippon loves me. See?

Yeah. I'm kind of baffled too. But appreciative, none the less!

  1. Too funny. We are trained to think identity theft, instead of...wtf? I am famous in another country. Who knew?

  2. Yeh but does that translate into any money or just a free cup of tea when you travel Asia?

  4. Whoa. Firstly, Awesome! Secondly ... I don't mean to be indiscreet, but...were you really born in 1983? Mind you, you don't look a day over 22, but as I look like I'm 40, and I was born in 1982 ... I just thought I'd ask.

    Secondly, I love that your bio includes directing Skip Beals. 3 degrees of Chapman grads. Too bad I wasn't one. (kind of) ;)

  5. Rad Brad! An Actress never tells! Okay fine. I'll tell. Because there was a possibility that the guy wanting to write a wiki entry for me could be just trying to steal my identity, I gave him my sister's birthday.

    I was born in 1986. ;)
