My negative experience has to be Lou Ferrigno. I genuinely was a fan growing up hearing stories from my older brother. Seeing him in a hulk film made me want to meet him more.

$80 for an autograph and he couldn't be bother to look at me. Just said "oh one of these" signed my item, tossed it back at me on to the table and says "next!"

Wish I never met the dude.

I don’t know him and I can’t really defend him but I do know a lot of deaf people and they are just different. They tend to be blunt and direct in ways that the rest of us don’t understand. It may just be that.

I get that. I have a deaf uncle and I know what it's like to speak to someone with a hearing impairment. I spoke clearly and carefully making sure he could see me (but he never looked). I get what you are saying but it just wasn't the vibe I was getting.
