| In Defense of Keanu Reeves Im personally acquainted with Keanu Reeves, having worked with him in "Speed"; I was the third SWAT team cop in the subway during the final chase scene. In all my time of working with Keanu Ive always been extremely impressed with his fitness routine, his fashion sense, and his dedication to craft. I remember bumping into Keanu outside Panna Szazza in Hollywood, about two months after wed shot "Speed." Id just stopped at Larrys World of Protein Shakes, to pick up a Soy-Guava Muscle Builder. Keanu and I were both trying to park our cars in the same spot along Sunset Boulevard. He started to inch his Mercedes in front of my Hyundai. I leaned my head out the window. "Hey KeanuIm parking here." "Dude, I was here first." "No you werent." "Yes I was." I took a sip of my protein shake and climbed out of my car. "Look, you know Ive always respected you, baby. I mean, damn, Point Break is, like, one of my favorite movies. But lookit: I was already backing into that spot." "No you werent, dude." "Yes, I was. I had my reverse light on." "But you didnt have your signal on." "Doesnt matter." I paused and took a sip of my protein shake. Keanu looked at the shake. He pointed to it. "Dude, is that a Larrys shake?" "Yup." "Thats good stuff." "Yeah." Keanu smiled. "Anyone whos into protein shakes is all right with me." He gave me a funny look and repeated himself: "Anyone whos into protein shakes is all right with me." Suddenly I felt light-headed. I tried to look at Keanu, but he was gesturing with his hand. He smiled at me. "Youre about to drive away." "Im about to drive away," I repeated. "This isnt the parking spot youre looking for." I nodded. "This isnt the parking spot Im looking for " "Keanu Reeves is a great actor." "Keanu Reeves is a great actor " "Just go about your business." "Ill just go about my business " "Move along." "Yes..." I smiled, got in my car, and drove away. Anyway, its important for people to realize what a brilliant actor Keanu Reeves is, and what an important contribution hes making to cinema. Films like "Johnny Mnemonic" and "Sweet November" prove that he is the most important actor in Hollywood.
