Another story that was originally posted on the old closed-down site “Alex O’Loughlin Rocks” (AOLR)
by Mizzoh on 19 December 2008
Posted on Mike Marques’s blog earlier this month is the tale of how he and his wife, Sabine, who is a fan of Moonlight and of course of Mr O’s (or would “Mr Oh” be more fitting? :-)) very unexpectedly met Alex (sporting a short ‘do!) at the Urth Caffé on Melrose Avenue on December 4, 2008.
Mike on this surprise encounter:
“Small world indeed and what a major coincidence…from all stars in LA, we bumped into the number #1 in Sabine’s list. Very cool. Sabine can still not believe it”.
Mizzoh originally found the whole story on Mike’s blog, but unfortunately I could no longer find the link to his blog 😦

I remember reading the blog at the time. It was so cute! Sabine was a superfan of Moonlight and the couple was from Germany on vacation. I recall that Sabine was absolutely starstruck when she saw Alex so Mike had to ask him if they could get a picture of him. Alex was gracious as always.
Mike had a later blog entry that referred to this one when they announced the birth of their first child – a son named “Mick”.

I also remember this. It was the first time since ML that anyone had seen or heard anything about Alex, though we waited. It was during Xmas time. I remember wondering how she recognized him because that was the first tine we had ever seen Alex with short hair. We only knew him from being Mick and from The Shield, but most only knew him as Mick.
