| Having just read all the posts on this thread i was wondering if CT was the kind of person that does not mind being asked for a photo [with who ever is asking].
He sounds a lovely chap and i can not wait to meet him, but getting a photo would be a bonus. My sister will be snapping away with her camera while i splutter and mumble at him , but is there any chance that he would pose with ........me.....? [living in hope].

| | It all depends on where you are when you ask if you can have your picture taken with him. Someone asked him while he was in the hallway going from one spot to another and he only had time to smile and keep going. At the dinner with the stars he happily posed for pictures with everyone who came up to him and talked awhile. He showed my husband and I pictures of his son and I even got a hug. Of course, I'm probably older than his mother. LOL. |

| | You need to realize that it greatly depends on the event itself if actors are allowed to take their pictures with guests. Sometimes when there are large queues the event organizations stop people posing and picturing simply because it takes up too much time. I myself distinguish between an actor's professional time and his or her personal time. If an actor is sitting at a table selling stuff I will not hesitate to ask him or her if it's OK that I take a picture with me. But if they are just walking around somewhere, sitting at a bar or having lunch, I will absolutely not make a pest of myself, just say hello and let them do their thing. That's their personal time and I think they are entitled to it just as anyone else. More often than not acknowledgeing this leads to at least a smile of gratitude. I recall a horror story from an actor who desperately needed to go to the bathroom at one time and almost did not make it because he was stopped all the time for chats and pictures. I am sorry, but I find that a wee bit inappropriate.

Good luck for the next couple of days. |

If they are all like you in the Netherlands - I am coming over. Hence, no pun on the word 'wee' (thats a British expression for urine!) I once knew a Dutch girl Her face was all a powder She brought me back some Edam cheese And half a pound of Gouder

| | I guess we are a bit of a down-to-earth lot around here, although I must admit that that down-to-earthness sometimes drives me nuts (which is British for...let's not go there ;-)). Anyways, I met Connor again last weekend and that was a lot of fun and a really good experience. And, what's even better: I really behaved around him this time. No stupid remarks, no questions that came out all wrong, no funny costumes. We even helped him out with some info bits and pieces during his Q&A since we were sitting right up front and were able to communicate with him while he was on stage. Except for one instance. For Saturday night my husband and I dressed up as Dark Jedis, complete with lightsabres (the good ones that light up and make sounds. You can actually fight with them, carefully, and since we know how to sword fight, that's a lot of fun). So, dressed like that and with our light sabres ablaze, we decide to make an entrance. So I came out of the elevator, completely in my role as Emperor Palpatine (even yelling something like: "Come to the Dark Side, all of you" in what supposedly resembled Ian McDiarmid's voice) to find Connor standing there waiting to get in.  .Boy, was I grateful for the giant hood over my head! He looked highly amused, though, but never recognized me....

| Oh....that would have been highly embarrassing.
I have gone to cons dressed up before but am a bit to old for it now, and if i get a chance to have a photo with Mr Trinneer i would rather be in normal clothes. |
