I think I've posted this somewhere on these forums before or maybe it was during the ReRolled fuckery... Anyway...
I know Julie Benz in real life. The then wife and I would have lunches with her over the course of 10+ years. Met her at a comic con in Salt Lake City she was sitting alone, no one in her line. She looked bored out of her mind. The then wife recognized her from Buffy but I recognized her from Saw, Dexter and Rambo. While the wife was getting her autograph I asked Julie about her role in Rambo. Specifically the scene where she walks out of the hut with the kids are getting aid and the hut behind her explodes and the village is attacked. I asked her about that specific scene immediately when that hut explodes. The look on her face in the movie looks like genuine horror. I asked her if she acting or genuinely scared.
This tiny woman says " oh my god, let me tell you I've never been so fucking scared in my life. The only direction I got from Stallone was; " if your hair catches on fire run to those two guys over there" and that's all he gave me."
She goes on to explain the scene and how she ran directly to those guys anyway and started crying when they caught her. We chatted with her for nearly 2 hours. No one else came up to her table. She told us her shift was over and if we would like to go to lunch. So, we ended up having lunch with her and talked with her about all sorts of things from movies to projects she's working on to her personal life.
She asked for our numbers after the meal and we went our separate ways. For nearly 10 years now when Julie is in town she calls to have lunch or dinner depending on what time she gets in. She's a very nice, very short, very mouthy woman. Lol
TL;DR: I know Julie Benz in real life and have for over 10 years.
