Can't wait to see him with a beard (on face, that is

Yeah I saw this on Reddit earlier. People are out of their minds. A ticket to a play does not include a meet-and-greet with actors, just because fans swarm stage doors like assholes and it's hard to prevent.
I'm a performer as well and it is expected. Fans wait at the stage entrance every night, and while you don't have to acknowledge them all individually, he shouldn't ignore them.Yeah I saw this on Reddit earlier. People are out of their minds.

Joe's very kind for even bothering to reply to this nonsense. Or his PR team asked him to, since the reality for celebs these days is that a non-issue can turn into a dumb controversy if people on X decide to have a tantrum.
Much respect to you and your profession!I'm a performer as well and it is expected. Fans wait at the stage entrance every night, and while you don't have to acknowledge them all individually, he shouldn't ignore them.
Amen. This entitlement from "fans" both in entertainment and the porn audience is out of control quite frankly.Much respect to you and your profession!
You're right that he shouldn't ignore them, but maybe we have a societal issue with fans expecting too much from entertainers. It's very hard for me to sympathize with them.
If you have the energy to do this after an exhausting performance every night (idk if yours involves singing/dancing), then I admire that. But it seems really wrong to expect every performer to have the mental energy to do that, and act like that's an inherent part of the job.
It's SUCH a competitive atmosphere as-is - will casting start to take into account whether a potential choice will also be able to interact with fans after the shows, on top of their actual abilities to perform? Maybe they already do! That must narrow casting choices down even more.
But dude, I just don't think you are a monkey or a pet for the fans to fawn over. I think you're a person. I wish things were different.
It’s not like he’s ignoring them. He smiles, waves, says hi. What else do you expect from him?I'm a performer as well and it is expected. Fans wait at the stage entrance every night, and while you don't have to acknowledge them all individually, he shouldn't ignore them.
Your right, it's definitely not fair and I have come off stage exhausted, disappointed etc. But it doesn't change the fact that it is expected. In a lot of the Productions I've been part of I've been a supporting cast member so I'm often not absolutely swarmed by fans. I have watched the old pros do their thing however and often time a group acknowledgement and an explanation can really calm the waters. "Thank you all for coming, I really appreciate it. Forgive me I have another show tomorrow and I'm exhausted so I won't be hanging around."Much respect to you and your profession!

Entitlement is the key word.Amen. This entitlement from "fans" both in entertainment and the porn audience is out of control quite frankly.
Having other work is apparently "working very hard to get away from" in your parasocial relationship with Joe. Please get over yourselfEntitlement is the key word.
It perfectly covers the fans and creators of a show he's currently working very hard to break away from![]()
