1. He ought to be thankful someone wants his autograph, as for not getting anything in return how much money has he made in the past year off of people that actually give a damn whether he lives or dies....I'm so tired of stars egos being bigger than their I.Q.'s. Get a friggin' clue.

2. Taye who????

He's a B-lister. He should think twice before refusing to sign an autograph.

3. He had already signed 2! How many was he supposed to stand there and sign for one guy who wasn't even a fan but autograph hound? Maybe if the guy bothered to get an education and a real job like the rest of us he wouldn't be standing out in cold like an idiot-a parasitic idiot. I don't really like Taye but he was totally in the right this time.

5. well if it was just for a fan..thats crazy. your fans are the reason why you still have a job. if its for an autograph seeker who is just going to turn around and sell the signature (although i dont know how much you could really get for it) I could see why he would get offended.
i mean if you are a collector of autographs, then this guy should either contact Taye Diggs agent for autographs instead of hounding him for them outside a club.

6. If Taye Diggs feels he's too good to choose to sign autographs for fans who support him and his lifestyle, that is totally his right. It is also everyone's right to choose not to pay their hardearned $$ to see any of his pathetic attempts at acting.

9. First of all, like alot of you said, Taye should be grateful that there are those that want his autograph. Second, for an actor like Taye (who isn't a notable as some others) he should want the paparazzi to pay attention to him. If they don't, then no one will.

11. Come on people, Im sure he has been signing autographs for his entire career. The video shows that he had already signed autographs for fans, he was refusing to sign autographs for a professional autograph seeker who would have simply sold them on his web site and/or ebay. Like so many other celebrities, if you are asked to sign autographs every day for years, you start to recognise the same people asking over and over again. Even if you dont recognise them personally, Im sure you eventually recognise their behavior. When he answered the autograph hounds question about charity, saying he gets something out of that, Im sure he meant he felt he was giving something back to society. He was equating that with signing autographs for fans (an example of giving back to his fans) versus signing autographs for the professional autograph hound which will be used to fatten the guys bank account (something Taye gets nothing from).

12. i guess having your show cancelled after the commercial was on for literally a month promoting the show will put you in a bad mood.

13. Parasite??!! LMAO

14. Every moment you leave your house, someone is there. Every time you go to the store, someone is there. Every time you want to get a bite to eat, someone is there. It has nothing to do with ego, it's more about wanting to be left alone.

We walk the streets everyday without being harassed. We don't understand the CONSTANT begging, and hounding for a picture, or autograph that celebrities get. They can never have a moment to themselves.

It also has nothing to do with being ungrateful. I'm sure he loves his fans when he's at press openings, galas, and other "work related" ventures. But, if the guy is just going for a walk... give the man some peace, for crying out loud!

As for people who say that, "celebrities should stop complaining about being so famous, it comes with the territory..." they need to think again. An actor signs up to WORK. That's it. It's everyone else that makes a big scene. Don't get mad at the celebrity who can't even get to their car without being attacked. Blame all those people who have nothing better to do with their time then bother others for their own selfish wants.
