So it's always funny to be recognized for a part you've done. I would say just be as excited to see them as they are to see you. Like, it's fun. Like, how cool is that? And there's nothing worse than, like, a two-bit actor that's, like, I don't know, like, full of themselves or ungrateful. Like, it's cool. Like, um, just, just be, yeah, just be, uh, be there. Be present when someone recognizes you and, um, enjoy it. That's cool.
This thing happened to me when a movie that I was in called Minor Details came out. I was 15 years old. I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, but really in a small suburb of San Antonio called Converse, Texas. There was a Walgreens close to my house that I grew up going to all the time with my family. After this movie came out, I was shopping at Walgreens with my mom, and this girl, who's also like my age, maybe a couple years younger, recognized me in the Walgreens of Converse, Texas. And I was like, of all the places, this is crazy. And she's like, I watch you in Minor Details. You're Abby. I've seen it a million times. It's my favorite movie. And it just like blew my mind that that happened in that small, tiny town. And it still happened other places in my life, which is always really fun. I do Muay Thai here in LA, and my front desk girl was like, it's been bugging me where I know you from. And then finally, I realized you're in that movie, Minor Details, and I grew up watching it. It happens from time to time. People are like, oh my gosh, that movie. I love having little encounters like that, because it just reminds me the power of storytelling and the power of film, even all these years later.
