Diedrich Bader shares his 'strange' experience in Richmond

Posted

RICHMOND, Va. -- Actor and comedian Diedrich Bader had a "strange" experience while visiting Richmond this weekend.

Bader, 56, may be best known for his scene-stealing roles in movies like "Office Space" and "Napoleon Dynamite," his voice work on dozens of cartoons, and his starring role as Oswald on "The Drew Carey Show." It was that role that led to the strange experience he highlighted on social media.

Bader was in Richmond to attend Saturday's VCU basketball game with friends he explained.

The Northern Virginia native was waiting at the Staples Mill Road train station on Sunday for a train back to see his family in Northern Virginia when he looked up.

"I’m at the Richmond train station," he tweeted. "Life’s strange sometimes."

The video he tweeted showed an episode of "The Drew Carey Show" show playing overhead.

As people responded to Bader's tweet, he said he had fun at the game, despite the VCU loss.
