Re: Dragon Con 2016
Wow! There are several actors and actresses being interesting for me. I'm jealous.
Have a lot of fun, tonnaree.

Re: Dragon Con 2016
Karl Urban was suppose to be there!! But it looks like he's had to cancel.
I am certainly heartbroken.

Re: Dragon Con 2016
Oh dear...
gently, Solar and me had the chance to see him in May and he certainly upped the coolness.
But I'm sure you will have a great time anyway! Looking forward to reports and pics again!

Re: Dragon Con 2016
Oh tonnaree, that's too bad...! mrshouse is right, it was very cool to see him in May, although he seemed a little tired during his panel... and apart from seeing him in May, gently and I also saw him two years ago at another convention... and I even asked him a question at his panel back then.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll get another chance. It seems that he's doing conventions on a more or less regular basis.

Re: Dragon Con 2016

Re: Dragon Con 2016
Yes, I'm really looking forward to your report, too.
Edit: And only now I read about Karl Urban. SolarSystem asked him something about Khan in such a good way that Karl mentioned what a brilliant actor Benedict is. Of his own accord. Noone mentioned Benedict before.

Re: Dragon Con 2016
Some of the people I got to see:
Gillian Anderson - X-Files
Alan Tudyk and Alan Baldwin - Firefly
Jason Isaacs - Harry Potter
The staring voice cast from the cartoon Invader Zim!!
There is also a big burlesque show on Saturday night at Dragon Con. But not just any burlesque! These burlesque performers specialize in Geeky/Nerdy acts! For example, one fellow dressed as Two-Face from Batman and did a dance with two women dressed as Sugar and Spice! I have a bunch of friends in the Atlanta burlesque community and many of them were performing. I will post pictures!!!

Re: Dragon Con 2016
Yes! He invented the whole look for Malfoy, the wig, the voice, etc. apparently.

He was wonderful. Handsome and charming. Funny and friendly.
Just as he was starting to talk to us his phone rang. He looked at it and said, Oh, it's my youngest daughter. He ask us if he should answer and we said yes! He had us all yell hello to her.
When he started taking questions I ask him if any of his children were Harry Potter fans and if so, had any of them given him any advice or criticism on his portrayal of Lucious! He responded that his kids are not very impressed with what dad does for a living. However, they had a lot of fun visiting the Harry Potter sets because there was always lots of chocolate and things to play with.
He told some lovely little stories. I'll have to try and write a couple out.
