To call Adrian Grenier a friend would be a lie. To call him an acquaintance would be a gross overstatement.
But back in 2000, I actually kinda sorta knew him. Adrian was dating the beautiful and super talented roommate of my boyfriend (now husband), Sean, so our paths crossed all the time.
In 2001, he attended my wedding at the Hillside Manor as a guest but pitched in to help his then-girlfriend, our photographer. That's right, Adrian took pictures of me.
Sean and I were part of a short film Adrian directed that involved us getting on a subway train and acting like tourists.
He even invited us to the Tribeca Film Festival screening of his documentary, "Shot in the Dark" in 2002.
Haven't spoken to Adrian since we moved from New York, but I did get a chance to watch the deeply personal documentary again on HBO last night. In it he questions the necessity of fatherhood as he confronts his estranged dad. The two hadn't seen each other in 18 years.
Although he attended Bard College, Adrian wears a Vassar T-shirt for much of the film.
Check out "Shot in the Dark" if you can. You will get a glimpse of the life of the down-to-earth star before Vincent Chase was even a concept.
