April Amber Telek (Sighting in West Vancouver)

Hi Everyone,

Just a few days ago, I was working my day-shift in my store at Kin's Farm Market (Park Royal - South)...& there she was. With her tiny adorable daughter in-tow, was APRIL AMBER TELEK (of "SG-1", "The Immortal" & "Highlander: The Series", among others.)

I approached her & asked "Just out of curiosity, are you the lady from Highlander & The Immortal?" She blushed, smiled ,& said "Yes. I'm her. I'm surprised you remember that!"

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!! I tried to get her autograph in one of my boss's notebooks.

She offered to back to her truck & get a signed headshot. I got about ten minutes of chances to check her out as she was shopping. H-O-T!!!!!

In the meantime, I'm telling my buddies who she is & slightly freaking. They're not long-time locals, so they have no idea who she is & just happy for me.

Before leaving to head back to her truck, April mentioned she was in West Vancouver because her house was being shot for "MTV: Cribs".

A few minutes later, right in front of my philipino buddy Isagami, our cashier...she came back & handed me the signed headshot.

(This is the exact headshot, by the way.)

She wrote & I quote:

"To Jason. Thank You For Being So Sweet. (Heart) April Amber Telek."

She took her time shopping for a few more minutes & my buddy Isagami nodded outside & there she was. As I'm mopping & sweeping the floor, I'm chatting socially with my buddy as he notices her again. With her door closed, on the driver's side, She was standing next to her truck & staring at us. She waved at me & smiled at my buddy & I, before opening the door & getting into her truck.
 
She seems like a very nice lady, as well as quite attractive, from your story.
 
I had to imdb her to figure out who she was in SG1.

Definitely not someone I would have ever recognized.
 
I don't get 'starstruck' by actual big name stars, so I can't even begin to fathom being starstruck by someone who is not quite A-list to put it nicely.
 
She played the woman from the Ori Galaxy in the beginning Season 9, the woman that Vala's consciousness got transferred into when she and Daniel hooked themselves up to that machine.
