Dave Roberts goes Hollywood

The weatherman's come in from the cold. And as the snow was falling in Philadelphia and its suburbs Tuesday night, retired "Action News" forecaster Dave Roberts was enjoying himself at a Fox network party in Pasadena, Calif., with his son, "Bones" star David Boreanaz. And in some quarters, the father was as big a draw as the son.

The weatherman's come in from the cold.

And as the snow was falling in Philadelphia and its suburbs Tuesday night, retired "Action News" forecaster Dave Roberts was enjoying himself at a Fox network party in Pasadena, Calif., with his son, "Bones" star David Boreanaz.

And in some quarters, the father was as big a draw as the son.

Not only were a couple of Canadian TV critics scouring the crowd, hoping to meet Roberts -- they'd apparently grown up watching Roberts when he worked in Buffalo -- but "Bones" co-star Michaela Conlin, who's from Allentown, confessed that she was "starstruck" when she first met him.

"It was just that moment where it's, 'Oh my God, you're real,'" Conlin said. "He's so lovely to be around. But when I met him…I was a little nervous."

Roberts only laughed when I repeated Conlin's comment.

These days, he's relishing the time he gets to spend watching his son work.
