History Buff
by Bryan ReesmanAnd do you like that? I love it.
Where else would you recommend? Illiano's
Pizza. They make great pizza. I like it a lot. That's in
Conshohocken. It's a great little stop-in place in the center of a
shopping mall, so to speak. It really reflects
Philadelphia. I
don't go to South Street or downtown too much, because I'm a
suburbanite.
It seems like you enjoy being surrounded by
everyday people. Am I right? I like light-hearted
individuals. I like trivial things. I like scatterbrained people. I
like people who will be in the middle of talking to you and realize
that they left a pot on the stove and will ask you to come in and
have some barbecue with them and you barely even know them. It
really is like that in Philadelphia. People will see you a couple
of times, and after a minute, they really begin to care, and they
ask about you. Before the fame happened, I would come home and find
notes on my door: "Haven't seen you in a while; just checking up on
you." They didn't know I was an actor.
Are there any cool bars and nightclubs where you
hang out in Philadelphia? No, I've never been good there. I
get uncomfortable around a whole lot of people now.
Are there some quiet nightspots where you like to
chill out and just be yourself? No. I mean, I've got three
babies, man. The only quiet time is when they're asleep. I don't
date, and I don't go out.
So where would you take the family to in
Philadelphia? The museum, the Franklin Mint, the Liberty
Bell - all the places that have significance. The best is Valley
Forge. Let them see what actually took place there. Take them to
Fairmount Park. All these places are where the battle for
independence took place. That's where I take my kids. I just like
the natural areas. I don't take them to restaurants. I'm not big on
that. I take them to the places that will always be there.
