Was it for Crying Freeman? I really liked him and the storyline in that movie. I always thought it could be a truly kickass movie if it had a decent budget. IIRC he met his real life wife in that movie. Believe her name is/was Julie Condra. I've never seen her in anything else but I liked her too.
That's extremely cool you got to meet him. I'm glad to hear he's pretty cool IRL. He's on my short list of celebs I'd like to actually meet.
