I have met actor Michael Gross several times. Each time, it seems like I come back with an interesting tidbit.
The first time I met Gross was at Motor City Comic Con. I was in the men's room using the urinal, when Gross went to the next one. There's always a bit of discomfort at urinals. I smiled and said I planned to meet him, but I would wait to do so at his table later. He got a big laugh out of that.
The second time I met Gross was also at Motor City Comic Con. As we talked, I asked about his sister Mary. He paused for a second and as he began to speak, he was choked up a bit. He thanked me for asking about her and gave me a quick update. He was genuinely touched that I asked.
One other meeting was at the ill-fated ReWind Con. This was in 2016 and my selfie game was not good. As I looked for help, Gross took my camera and snapped this selfie. He commented he had gotten good at it through these such situations.
Gross has a reputation for being incredibly nice. He is an excellent actor, as well. While his work on Family Ties was great, he showed his versatility in many other perhaps less-known roles.
