Love and Appreciation of the "Arts"

[eumelia]

There are people you wish you knew long before you met them.

This is especially true of artists, authors, actors (of any gender) and other creative people, who you discover when they're already popular and you work backwards in time to realise that, fuck, they were amazing before you knew them.

That's how I feel about Scott Caan. Really. It's been a thing for months now, I'm not ashamed of this love that I have - I have spent good money on this man and it has been totally worth it.

Reading this article, Stay Gold, about Scott and how he has come to be who he is (which isn't all in there, but hey, not all of it is as pretty as the article makes it out to be) makes me wish I knew him when he was just starting out and seeing him evolve and develop.

Working my way backwards into his work has been super fun and really educational. Because at first I just knew him as James Caan's better looking doppelgänger son.

Now, well, yeah, he's golden.

I just finished reading that! And it makes me wish I could have the whole cast over for dinner or something, because they all sound like they'd be so interesting to talk with. :D

(OF COURSE: it would be difficult to talk. Because I'd be too busy looking. But maybe I would get over it?)

I'm really Scott's fan in this - the other are great actors and beautiful people, but Scott interests me as an artist. His writing makes go *wibble* and *grabby*

I, just, I wish I'd been cool enough to be his fan like this years ago, you know?

I'm not particularly fangirling of any one of them individually (I mean, I don't necessarily love one actor over another, on H5O), but I do get the impression I'd enjoy having a conversation with them.

I'm not familiar with Scott's earlier work--especially the stuff he's written--so I can't *wibble* with you (yet, heh), but I like how he comes across as self-aware and passionate.
