Photo #2: John Travolta, Peter Arnel (1080 AM KRLD Dallas, Texas entertainment reporter), and of course, Ricky at the 2003 "Basic" press junket.
Photo #3: Ricky and actor de jour, Jon Voight ("Midnight Cowboy", "Deliverance", "The Champ", "Runaway Train", "Heat"), at the 1997 "Anaconda" press junket held at the AMC Glenn Lakes movie theatre in Dallas, Texas (notice the one sheet posters for "Rain Man" and "First Knight" in the background). Too bad, Jon wouldn't put in a good word for Ricky with his tomb raiding daughter, Angelina Jolie.

Photo #8: Ricky meets best selling author Nicholas Sparks ("A Walk to Remember", "Message in a Bottle", "The Notebook") May 2004 at a public library in Ricky's hometown of Plano, Texas. Sparks is about to autograph Ricky's "Message in a Bottle" DVD box art with one of Ricky's infamous black "Sharpie" waterproof markers. No wonder Ricky is smiling. But why is Sparks?
