EDWARD JAMES OLMOS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF

During the 80's I truly felt I was the number one fan of the hit TV show MIAMI VICE that stared DON JOHNSON, PHILLIP MICHAEL THOMAS and EDWARD JAMES OLMOS. I never missed one show as it aired on Friday Night and the one character I enjoyed was LT Castille played by Olmos.He has been a regular every year narratoring DISNEY' S CANDLELIGHT PROCESSIONAL and someone who I have met in the past. As the years have gone by instead of mellowing his personality has become more sour and it showed a downward spiral that I am sharing it for the world. After hearing his narration which he splits between English and Spanish there was 6 of us that had seen him at his hotel earlier where we had a bit to eat but did the courtesy of not bothering him prior to his time at the EPCOT series. Now recently we have met AMERICA FERRERA ,MEREDITH VERIRA and JOE MORTON who all were wonderful and appreciative to a request for a picture and an autograph. So we patiently waited for Olmos and he arrived wearing an arm sling and an appearance that made him look like he was a 100 years old. Rocket Man had the presence of noticing him and went up to him as he was entering the elevator.He stepped inside with Olmos and his company and politely asked if he would sign his photo.He was rude and curt and said" Going to sell that on EBAY' and when Rocket tried to explain that he was only a fan and that his friends were hoping to meet him also, all Olmos could say " Yeah Sure" , When he asked if he could take a photo with him , Olmos quickly snapped at him" You already got an autograph and I am tired so the answer is NO". Rocket man tried to explain to him that he and all of us were just fans and just fell on deaf ears . When the autograph was shown to a hand writing expert he showed his disdain and arrogance to the request and a better than thou attitude. I remember listening to a talk he gave at the FLORIDA FILM FESTIVAL where he spoke of an incident where he made it sound that DON JOHNSON was disrespectful to a part when he enters his office and did not close the door. Olmos made it sound like Johnson was problem especially when he walked off the set due to this position Olmos took. He mentioned that he did not look into Johnson's eyes for most of the season because of stance he took at that time. I now know that Johnson may not have been at fault as he was portrayed by Olmos.It took him a year to forgive and what does that tell you . So we all reflected on how Olmos must believe if anyone has a photo, album or what ever they could not be fans that ONCE admired his skill but that everyone is selling on EBAY. Has he fallen off the earth and lost all reality and common sense. Did he not listen to the words that he spoke at the Christmas Processional or was he just playing a role and only acting and not believing in the words that all people should follow. I was planning to give his autographed picture to a special friend but now I will explain that what you see in his movies is not the same when You meet him. SO SAD. What has made him turn so bitter that he can not recognize a fan. Yes maybe he has been approached by autograph dealers who have sold his autograph but so what. He is paid well for his movies, royalties and even his narration at the Processional. I only hope that he or one of his advisors may read this blog and have the decency to contact me and try to explain his attitude and actions.The 6 of us who were honest and truly fans have only become a memory. Shame on You Mr. Olmos.
