The permanent A list television actor/astronaut was not a favorite among drivers. He was known to be prickly, and God forbid anyone mention the iconic television show the actor was famous for. Many drivers who were huge fans were always in for a big letdown when meeting the actor in person. The stretch limos were stocked with soft drinks, ice, beer, bourbon and scotch. 90 percent of the passengers never touched that stuff, but the actor/astronaut never missed an opportunity to guzzle free alcoholic beverages.
