This was at the press junket for "Austin Powers in Goldmember."

I had just seen "Undercover Brother," in which Doogie Howser has a strangely similar role to Fred's role in "Austin." IE: Both former child stars playing goofy sidekick roles in spy spoof movies.

So I begin my question by asking, "So Fred, have you seen 'Undercover Brother'?"

Before I even make the comparison, he knew exactly what I was going to get at, and replied with something like, "Oh, I haven't seen it, but Neil (Patrick Harris) is a good friend of mine, and we were joking around about how similar the roles were."

I was caught off-guard, because he answered my question before I could even ask it, so I just sort of muttered, "Well, you... should see it. It's a good movie. Good role.... [trailing off]"

There were a few other journalists there and we all sat in silence for a few seconds.

Then Fred says, "Oooohhkay... moving on....."

D'oh!

I've played golf with Payne Stewart, David Toms, Mike Weir, Archie Manning, Chris Dimarco, Sandy Lyle, ....and the CEO of Fleet Financial (though I can't recall his name)- Huge Red Sox fan.

The only two I know are people you either don't remember or havn't heard of. Chuck Carr former outfielder for the Florida Marlins and Miwaukee Brewers, John Hope former pitcher for the Pirates, he actually had a no hitter going against the Marlins one day but cramped up and had to pull himself out of the game. The reason he cramped up was because he was with me until 5am getting loaded at a titty bar.

I have met a lot of famous athletes but the two above are the only ones I can say I could call and or hung out with regularly.
