While attending a Martin Luther King Jr Day Parade in Los Angeles, I met Theo Hugstable while talking to someone.
He said, “If I gave you an autograph, I would have to do the same thing for everybody else here" and he walked away.
I told a lady friend of mine this story and added, "He's THEO. Nobody is going to know him for anything other than that".
I later thought to myself, that guy owes his career to people like me who watched him on Bill Cosby's dumbass show in the 80's.
And what is Theo Hugstable doing now? Nothing noteworthy, I can tell you that.
To me, he's just another in a long line of human beings who think they're something just because they play a fictional human being on television.
It's very sad, just like Theo Hugstable.
