Don Cheadle is a Badass
I flew into LAX this morning for work. I was casually strolling along and as I looked up, there's Don Cheadle! He's chilling in the corner, trying not to be noticed.
He sees me spot him, as I argue internally with myself about whether it's really him or some sort of clone. Celebs must find this sort of stumble to be hilarious. I know I would.
I quickly recovered from my stumble, smiled, and said "what's up, Don?" He nodded and I went about my business as if we did this on a daily basis.
I was very tempted to ask for a photo with him. Don Cheadle is a badass and I'm a big fan. I even had my point-n-shoot in my pocket but I just couldn't bring myself to bother him.
I noticed, as he grabbed his luggage, that Bruce Greenwood was also there. There were a few others with them that I didn't recognize. I'm pretty sure they were there for the movie, Flight. It looks like a good show and has a pretty amazing cast.

Darn it Dan! You missed a chance in a lifetime :( That would have been an awesome pic to have!

I think you made the right choice by respecting his privacy. Cool that you saw him though. I agree with you that he is a pretty awesome actor. Bruce Greenwood is a pretty cool actor as well.

That’s pretty cool. And I’m sure that he was grateful that you didn’t start shouting “hey man, are you Don Cheadle?” :)
