Overheard at Comic Con 2010

Fan: "I read that you were a vocal coach and an acting coach. Does the cast ever come to you for advice?" John Noble: "Hahaha! No." Not only does John get no respect from his castmates, he gets no respect from said castmates' significant others. When John made a particularly off face while he contemplated a question, actress Diane Kruger (Joshua Jackson's girlfriend) was overheard saying "He looks like he's having a difficult bowel movement." Poor John. He's the Rodney Dangerfield of Fringe!
