Thus supporting my long-held belief...
...that there ARE cooler things to do besides seizing an opportunity to meet a celebrity in person.It always helps to remember that an actor is basically no different from anyone else -- he's just a guy who happens to have a cooler job than most other people happen to have. :)-- Nanaea

Well, you can always ask me. I'm the celebrity meter. I mean meeter.

I've personally met enough of 'em, too, not to be impressed by 'em, as John has been a frequent guest at sci-fi conventions where they've also invited actors from teeevee and movies. One, though, impressed me: Mark Goddard, who played the role of Major Don West in the original *Lost in Space* teevee series. Mark switched careers later in life and got his degree in education, and then went on to teach troubled teens. Mark Goddard not only had a few cool jobs in his life, he's also a cool person.And then there are the celebs I've met at literary "do's", who have been absolutely fascinating. Joseph Heller (may he rest in peace) was one of the most intriguing and charming.-- Nanaea
