http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=T8K04ejpL_0here is a link to part of Connor's talk altho I asked the first question - it has obviously been edited fromthe vid (or the guy came in late); when he begins to answer the 'stupid' question (what's your fav character?), he is pointing to me, and asking me to wait.
But being so close to Connor, my friends and I didnt really need the mic so if he looks front and down and starts answering a question - that's me he's talking to.
here is part 2, and it is me telling Connor at the end that NZ is stillw tchign repeats and only up to season 2 - he is just about to say "Trip died! You knew that, right? I said, "No", then he made a face (which got everyone laughing and said, "well Trip died!"

All guests (well Peter Woodward and Joe Flanigan were missing as they had to leave due to work/Malibu fires) http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=b8FjYpUzRWk
Here is a link to see Connor with some expo guests. http://nzphotographic.exposuremanager.com/g/guest_photos_saturday
I dont think this link has Connor, but photo #22 (lanscape) is me, Joe Flanigan, Kath and Bex. I guess the camera really does add 10lbs as I am not that big in real life, but decided it was about time to diet 
the JoeF photos were taken at 10.30 so we could get them signed as he was leaving early, so Connor maybe on another page for sunday

My first impression of Connor was how slim he is - photos and tv shows I have seen him in make him look so much bigger. He had the habit (a nice but naughty one) of rubbing his hand along his thigh. 
Anyhoo, my first question to him was, "How different is it to playing Michael as to having played Trip? Do you have to do anything different to get into character?"
His answer, No not really, as by the time the makeup is on, he has usually 'found' Michael" He then went on to tell how long and involved the process is of putting on his makeup and latex face peices, the teeth - which were not required so much anymore as Michael was becoming more 'humanised' and how difficult it is to do anything when not filming as he has to wear contacts whcih means he can only see straight ahead.
Someone else asked if he was able to pronounce Maori place names or was he a complete tourist?
He replied - complete tourist and tried to pronounce a few place names, but totally screwed up. He mentioned that this was quite embarrasing for him as he and his wife had attended a previous expo "back when she was as pregnant as she could be and still be allowed to fly" and that they had driven from Wellington to Auckland through the North Island for a holiday. They had stopped in Rotorua, and he had been given some language help, but still completely messed things ups, so didnt bother.
Later, when I was waiting for my friends to get their JoeF autorgraphs on Sat, I was standing on some stairs overlooking the autograph/photo op area and noticed Connor, Chris Judge and Peter Woodward get up and walk out the door. I wasnt sure what they were doing, until I noticed Connor get out a packet of cigarettes and pass them around!! (Smoking inside public buildings is now against the law here in NZ)
Sadly, I dint hve neough money for a photo op with Connor and I do have photos I took, but I have left them on the table, so will come back on Monday. Sorry. Had to duck out to take my youngest niece to the movies and took her home befor ecoming in here and forgot to pick them up. 
ps how do I upload photos to here??
