Spotted - Bryan Batt in Atlanta this past Sunday
Greetings fellow Maddicts.
I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to Bryan Batt yet AGAIN here in the ATL.
I have been working as a temporary market associate in the Atlanta Gift Mart for the big July Gift Show. I was assisting a buyer who was from Thibodaux,Louisiana. We started talking about New Orleans and I asked him if he'd been to the shop Hazelnut on Magazine Street.It's the shop that Bryan owns with a partner,He said that he went to school with Bryan and that he was going to be coming to the show and the showroom I was working in to buy.
Later in the day I walked across the hall and there was Bryan with his partner and another Hazelnut buyer. I went over and introduced myself and said I met you in New York @ P.J. Clarke's when we were having our Maddicts party. He was so kind and gracious and said he remembered me.(he was probably being polite,but I've got the photo's to verify).He said they had just finished shooting Episode 8 and that he was headed back to L.A. on Monday to resume filming.He told me he couldn't say anything thing but that we are all going to be in for a fantastic season.I guess Matt doesn't give them a lot of details,so they don't the eventual outcome.
He told me to tell y'all Thank You for watching Mad Men and being loyal.
What a sweet and gracious man ! He was wearing pale pink Bermuda's and a white polo shirt,looking very casual cool.
I hope Mad Men cleans up with the Emmy nominations. It's going to be a great season and it will be sort of a reunion for me since I haven't been active on the site.I'm sure I'll be watching the Episode over and over looking for subtle clues and just plain quenching my thirst for some Mad Men.
Good for you! Thanks for the info. I feel like one of the "In" crowd!!!
Wow! I'm green green green, you lucky dog!....thanks for the post!
I've been to Bryan's Hazelnut website...cool little shop, unique & eclectic items, a great mix.
We appreciate him as much as he appreciates us!
.....How crazy - I was researching the Hazelnut website for a school project today.
Bryan really is a gentlemanly gentleman, isn't he?
What a nice recount.
Love ya, Bryan!!!
One of the Maddicts who attended the NYC/P.J.Clark's party last December (December before that? ~~ I forget) posted about him stopping and chatting either before or after the get together and said he was sweet and very much a gentleman.
That, of course, comes across wonderfully in his portrayal of Sal. What a classy fellow.
How cool is that!!?!?!??! I'm in Atlanta too... I'll have to keep my eyes open.
MM got 16 - count 'em - 16 Emmy nominations (see thread above.)
What a nice man. I will be watching for him at the Emmys along with the rest of the Mad Men folks. It must be such a pleasure for him to be on such a highly praised, award winning TV series. I hope he knows how much we are all eagerly anticipating Season 3.
Mr. Batt, if you read this, you do a terrific job as Sal, and I hope we get to see more of him this season.
DITTO what everyone else has said. The website for Hazelnut is as classy as he is! I think Mr. Batt deserves an emmy nomination, too!
.....Like many of the cast members, he has a very solid and accomplished resume.
He sure does, Dry...I just hope he gets to add Emmys and Golden Globes and all that sort of goodies to it!
(other than those ensemble ones they all have already....)
I want him to win as supporting...he really does deserve to!
.....Sal is the role-model I trot out whenever I want to make a point.
Could there be a better friend, where the two of them are concerned???
Let's face it - a "marriage" is made of many and sundry things.
I read a bit on IMDB that he missed his audition for Sal because he and his life partner, Tom had a prior commitment to their goddaughter to take her to Paris to repay her for a lot of things she did for them after Hurricane Katrina (including evacuating Bryan's mother) and that the MM folk called him back to do the audition and he still got the part of Sal.
Sounds like a great guy all around. He sure seems to have his priorities straight.
