Supernatural – Jensen Ackles

I had a minute or less with Jensen getting the autograph signed, so I don't have much to say. He seemed like a nice guy and I would have loved to have had a chat but it wasn't to be. I only booked an auto signing, as his meet-&-greet/ autograph/ photo-op package cost the price of a small car – I say in jest! His VIP meet-&-greet is 30 minutes long – if I got his times right – and that's a hell of a long time for a meet-&-greet. I mean what do you do? Hang out and listen to some music together? Ask about family? I mean bloody hell, 30 minutes?








Arrow – Stephen Amell

Stephen Amell, wow, charisma, charisma. He's basically Oliver Queen, the same dude you see on the telly – same mannerisms, personality – COOLNESS! Yeah, shivers, one sexy man! And very friendly, warm, warm, warm. The man is a male version of Medusa. One look at him, and he'll make your heart ache. Well, if you are partial to sexy men. Also, the print his autograph is on, is one of my favourite images in my collection. I think it's so cool. It really captures the atmosphere of the show IMO. And his autograph is fabulous as well, with him adding an arrow going through it! I got quite a bit of time with Stephen despite what I said about Jensen's 30-minute meet-&-greet. I actually pined for him the day after comic con, as crazy as that sounds. I had to un-pine myself watching a Blu-ray Arrow box set.

Same for Ian Somerhalder. He's a bloody heartbreaker as well. Thank goodness for box sets Lol. It took me three days just to stop smelling Ian's scent after comic con. Although watching Vampire Dairies during that time was pretty trippy. Shakes head.








Fear The Walking Dead – Garret Dillahunt

Quiet guy! Nice guy but quiet guy. I enjoyed meeting him, I did, but he's kind of a serene guy and not one for being overly affectionate with fans. It was still a worthwhile signing. I did like him. And he played my favourite character in FTWD, John Dorie. I was pleased to get his autograph. I'd been after it for ages after seeing him on FTWD, and I was so happy to see him finally join the comic con circuit. I also love the print he signed. I think it's a fabulous memento of the show now that it has ended.








Blade Trinity - Dominic Purcell

Dom gave me the crappiest looking autograph in my entire collection and yet it's still one of my favourites. He also gave me plenty of his time and I found out he was born not a million miles away from me. My wife has a habit of looking up actors on her laptop when we're watching films, and I'm sat there watching something, and she perks up and says 'Oh you know he was born just down the road?' And I think what??? Cheers for ruining my suspension of disbelief!! She does it all the time. I was watching one of the newer Star Wars films recently, I forgot which, and I was really into it, about halfway through, and she goes loudly – 'THIS SCENE WAS SHOT IN SCOTLAND!!!' Fucking hell . . . .. !!!! Pulls me right out of the fantasy of 'in a galaxy far, far away!' Anyway, Dracula, the ancient vampire from Sumeria or wherever it was, is actually a Scouser from Liverpool, so you know if you want to stay in the fantasy, stay away from the internet.
