Short, but good, and I think all of you will love how it just fits right in.

This must have happened about six months ago now. Chicago. In one corner you have a B list actor. Married. For now. A list name recognition. How about A+ name recognition. Anyway, our actor was in town doing some press, making some friends, drinking a little bit. Hey just because it is a kindness doesn't mean that it is going to be lovely dovey. He shouldn't, but he does. So, our actor befriended a few of the waitresses at this particular establishment. One of them came up to him and was talking about how some guy had ordered Cristal or something for his girlfriend for their six month anniversary or something and he then realized he had left his wallet at home. Our actor told the waitress to say that the manager had picked up the bill and our actor paid it. Our actor had such a good time doing that nice thing that he decided to pick up every tab in the place that night. He didn't announce it or scream it because then everyone would have just ordered and ordered. Instead, he spoke with the manager and as each person settled their bill they were told it was on the house and thanks for being such a good customer when instead each tab was actually paid for by the actor. Final bill? About $10,000. Plus tip. He is always a good tipper.

Affleck=married for now.Shouldn't be drinking,but was.In October he was promoting Gone Baby Gone in Chicago..

Yeah, I'd agree this sounds like Ben Affleck.

**LynnieD** · June 24th, 2008, 05:00 PM

Just curious, but where does it say he shouldn't be drinking??

Though I agree it is probably Ben Affleck....

**mrs.v** · June 24th, 2008, 05:05 PM

"He shouldn't, but he does" I thought that's what it meant? But what do I know?

**LynnieD** · June 24th, 2008, 05:07 PM

^^Ok, gotcha! Maybe I just took it a different way! Thanks Mrs V!

I totally think this is Affleck then. He's been to rehab, married for now......it all fits.

Affleck...loving these easier blinds as of late....

ahh i knid of hope it is Affleck, for a long time now ive always picked up an asshole vibe from him, so it would be nice to know im wrong!

**SweetPea** · June 25th, 2008, 11:51 AM

It all fits. Affleck.

ITA that it's Affleck. Not long ago, there was a BI revealed about how he went out of his way to help someone whose car had broken down.

Despite his rep (with the women and booze), I get the feeling that he's a just a regular guy who enjoys helping people, especially when he thinks no one will know.

I heard it was Dustin Hoffman---it was in the news there in Chicago. Though I don't think he's been in rehab.....

For reals.

**Sialia** · June 26th, 2008, 01:31 PM

^^^Wow, really? I never would've guessed him from the clues in the BI. I guess that really shows how wacky EL's lettering system is since I never in a million years would refer to Dustin Hoffman as only B-list.

**Lily** · June 26th, 2008, 01:38 PM

^That's what I heard from someone in Chicago. He's been married for a while now, but recently said something about monogamy not being natural or something. I don't know.

Either way, I LOOOOOVE Dustin Hoffman to absolute smithereens, whether this is him or not.
