A Unique encounter
When reading The Soloist a few months ago, the image of Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx portraying the main characters of Steve Lopez and Nathanial Anthony Ayers played throughout my mind while I progressed through the story. I am positive that a lot of people fabricate what a character in a story looks like as they read.
If not reading the movie adaptation of The Soloist I would have had to picture the chracters using my own imagination, something that is real easy to do once I really get into a story. I am happy that I was able to meet the actual Steve Lopez at a book signing at the Free Librairy of Philadelphia. Recently he paid a very special visit to Project HOME, wish I had attended now that I think about it.
I always wondered, like others, what the real Nathanial Anthony Ayers looked like. This video, which was sent to me by an employee from Project HOME from the original site, shows an interview with Steve Lopez and the actual Nathanial Anthony Ayers. I would advise all to read The Soloist and to find out more about Steve Lopez, the guy use to write for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
