Friendly Encounters: Matt Parker Meets Brian O'Halloran

This is a weekly series featuring friends who have met celebrities.

Matt Parker met actor Brian O'Halloran at Days of the Dead in Chicago last year.  Actually, Matt did more than just meet him, he interviewed O'Halloran.  That interview can be found at On the Beat with Brian O'Halloran.
O'Halloran is a regular in Kevin Smith films.  On a trivial note, in all of Smith's films, his character's last name has been Hicks.  Of course, O'Halloran has also done other work, too.
Matt gets kudos for pulling off this interview.  I believe it is his biggest name so far, at least outside of the sports world.

At Days of the Dead, JohngysBeat.com's Contributor Extraordinaire Matt Parker set his sights on an interview with Brian O'Halloran, perhaps best known for his role in Clerks.  I thought it was a lofty goal, especially without any pre-convention correspondence, but Matt gave it his best shot...and landed the big interview!
O'Halloran was extremely nice.  He gave Matt several minutes of his time and gave us an interesting interview.
O'Halloran obviously respects Kevin Smith, as he has done several films with the Smith crew.  It certainly is a winning formula.
One movie that has escaped me so far is Vulgar, in which O'Halloran plays a clown who is attacked and traumatized.  I need to see that movie, but I digress.
We really appreciate O'Halloran for doing the interview.  He was very busy at the convention, yet he made time for us and we could not be happier.
Great job, Matt!
