One of my closest friends, Sam, was visiting me today from the east coast. He wanted to go to a place to see some Hollywood stars. I said, “Dude, it’s the Monday after the Emmys. It’s gonna be slim pickins…But, let’s go to The Grove and see whom we can find. You know, The Grove, the place you always hear about on TMZ, ‘Today, at The Grove….'”

So, after a couple of hours of finding no one, except lonely and bored Paparazzi with cameras in tow, Sam asks me,  “Hey isn’t that Dr. Lars from Funny People?”

Sure enough, Sam had spotted Torsten Voges who in addition to his role on Funny People also played Fidel on Eastwick and has appeared on such other shows as Malcolm in the Middle and Seinfeld. He also played the “tall woman whose face you never see” in Deuce Bigalow.

Torsten was cool – he took a couple of pics with us when he found out about CelebMagnet.

Torsten has said about his role on Funny People and working with Adam Sandler: “If you work with somebody like Adam, it is delightful, he is a wonderful actor, he listens really well and I love improvising; it’s my favorite thing to do.”

As we we were saying bye, Sam tells him, “Keep up the good work.”  For the next 30 minutes, Sam kept kicking himself, “Keep up the good work? WHO says that?” Uhm, you do Sam.  Here is Sam with Torsten:

Here is a cool video clip with Tortsen, where Torsten speaks about his acting experience:
