Martin Landau

Comments: I love Mr. Landau! He starred in one of my all-time favorite movies, "Ed Wood," and won an Academy Award for his portrayal of one my all-time favorite people, Bela Lugosi. He was also in "Mission: Impossible" and the first "The X-Files" movie. So when I met Mr. Landau, I told him how much I loved him in these roles and told him I thought he was amazing! He was so grateful. He grabbed my hand and told me "Thank you" a few times, and then we chatted some about our favorite scenes from "Ed Wood" - it's a movie he loves as well. I was holding up the line, so I didn't get to spend as much time chatting with him as I'd have liked, but I was so honored that he grabbed and held my hand -- not once but twice -- and kept telling me thank you! A truly dear man who I am grateful I had the chance to meet!

Comments: One thing I like about DragonCon is that you really have a chance to meet some big stars one on one, and I have been a fan of Eliza's for years - since she first starred on Buffy. She's a tough signer to get through the mail, so I went to her signing line first. She was so nice to everyone! Because her line was probably the longest there, I didn't get to talk to her much, but I did tell her that I loved her from "Tru Calling" and still miss that show, to which she replied, "At least we were able to keep it on for a little while." Then I told her that my niece was probably the biggest Buffy fan in the universe and that that same niece had also made me watch "Wrong Turn" (a movie Eliza stars in) more times than I personally cared for. She laughed and said, "Awesome!" She's guest starring on "White Collar" soon on the USA Network, and I'm looking forward to seeing her on screen again with her "Tru Calling" co-star Matt Bomer!


Sean Patrick Flanery

Comments: Wow, what can I say about this one? Sean Patrick Flanery has been one of my favorite actors since I was in high school. He has been in so many movies - many of them independent - and TV shows and is such a good, underrated actor! I've been trying to get his signed picture through the mail for a long time! Even better, I got to meet him! I was so nervous too. I mean, at his age, he is still a very hot man! I told him that I'd seen probably all of his movies and that my favorites were "Powder," "Lone Hero" and "Ten Inch Hero," but it's so hard to choose because he's made so many! He told me he was thrilled to meet such a fan and that he hoped he made lots more movies I would check out. You know I will, Mr. Flanery. You know I will. ;)


Joe Manganiello

Comments: I have a confession to make. I was never a fan of Joe's until recently. I HATED his character on "One Tree Hill" and disliked him as Flash in "Spider-Man" too. But when I started watching season 3 of "True Blood" last month and met Alcide for the first time, I quickly revised my opinion and jumped aboard the bandwagon of fans who totally love him. Plus, what can I say? He's extremely hot. I didn't really say much to him, in fact, because his hotness rendered me completely speechless. I could only stare. And I am being completely serious. Still, he was very nice and friendly, and I enjoyed his personality in the True Blood Q&A immensely!
