Greg Evigan
Four years ago, my girlfriend bought me a “Hollywood is Calling” phone call from Greg Evigan for my birthday. She had to tell me about it ahead of time, to make sure I would answer the phone, but it was the coolest present I ever had!
So I get a call on my cell phone one Sunday evening about a week later. “Is this Bernadette?” (Yes). “Hi, this is Greg Evigan calling.” (Squeal – Oh my God this is so cool!) His voice is so sexy!! He said that someone wanted him to call me & wish me a Happy Birthday. I told him I loved him on BJ and the Bear & that it used to be my big Saturday night. I told him that ever since I knew that he was going to call me I had the theme song from BJ & the Bear stuck in my head. He said “Oh yeah, that was a great song.” Then he actually sang the theme song to me! SWOOON! He said his favorite part of the song was the line about not having to pay property tax.
He asked me where I was and I told him in Connecticut. I asked him if he’d be on TV anytime soon & he said he did something for the SciFi channel & had just finished a show for Lifetime called “Molding Clay” about a boy named Clay. He said, “You probably won’t like me in it because I’m a bad guy.” I told him I hated it when he played the bad guy & said, “You played a bad guy on Melrose Place didn’t you?” He said, “Yeah, but not as bad as some.” I said, “You were a bad guy AND gay – I couldn’t deal with that!” He said, “Yeah, what was I thinking when I took that part?” So we chatted a bit more. He asked me when my actual birthday was & how old I was. I told him it was the big 3-8. He said, “Ah, that’s nothing!” He wished me a happy birthday one more time. I thanked him for calling and we said goodbye.
I pretty much squealed like a 12 year old through the whole thing! I don’t know how many times I must’ve said “Oh my God, this is so cool!” He just chuckled.
Now, he called me on my cell phone and an actual number did show up. I figured he probably called from an office or some cell phone they gave him, but I saved it in my address book anyway as a “souvenir”.
Fast forward to about a year ago. I was having drinks with some girl friends & we were talking about crushes we had in the 80s & I mentioned Greg Evigan & my phone call. I said “look – I even have his phone number” & showed it to her on my cell phone. She asked me for my phone & said she wanted to call him. I gave it to her, thinking no way would she have the guts to call him and it’s probably not even his number anyway. But she DID call him and he answered!!! She said hello, introduced herself and explained how she got his number. She talked to him for a couple minutes, said she was calling from Connecticut & we were talking about people we loved back in the 80s & his name came up. She said he was cool about the whole thing! I was half-dying, half-wanting to grab the phone & start talking to him too – but now I didn’t have the guts. Well, now Greg Evigan has my cell phone number on his caller ID! He probably saved it & labeled it “Stalker!” All I can say is, “Dude! What were you thinking calling from your own phone?!” Doesn’t he know people are crazy?!
