Hmmm !

This is a tricky one,

Nick Brendon (Xander) - This was disappointing, he looked bored with the whole thing and although he had no queue didn't want to chat or pose for photos

Anthony Head (Rupert Giles) - Pleasant and professional

Eliza Dushku (Faith)- A real sweetie both times, chatted, posed for photos, seemed genuinely natural and friendly

Amber Benson (Tara) - Pleasant, friendly and chatty.

Tom Lenk (Andrew) - very shy

Adam Busch (Warren)- pleasant, but didn't say much

Danny Strong (Jonathan) - very friendly and chatty

Julie Benz (Darla) - pleasant and professional

Robia La Morte (Jenny Calendar) - pleasant and professional

DB Woodside (Principal Wood) - shy

Mark Metcalfe (The Master) - pleasant and chatted

Brian Thompson (The Judge and Luke) - Very friendly and chatted both times

Scott Schwartz (Vampire Biker) - Chatted away for ages and was happy to pose for photos , a fan of the series himself

Andy Hallett (The Host)- Just like the Host !

Amy Acker (Fred) - sweetness and light personified

Summer Glau (Prima Ballerina) - sweetness and light personifed 2

Mercedes McNab (Harmony) - a real sweetie

Nathan Fillion (Caleb) - a joker, but friendly

J August Richards (Gunn) - pleasant and professional

Jonathan Woodward (Knox) - mad as a hatter

David Denman (Skip) - pleasant and professional

He might just be shy when talking to fans. Maybe he's more comfortable on a stage being an entertainer than talking one-on-one with somebody.

[red8886]

Mayber your right i know tht Alexis Denisof was pleasnat at all times but he has said in the past that when he does talks etc. he acts at being Alexis and it makes it easer maybe Nic was the same

From my (and my friends) experience of meeting Julie Benz the words 'pleasant and professional' would be the last that come to mind.  Shes my biggest disappointment by far

Nick Brendon was ok.  I met him at a non Showmasters event and he seemed nice.  He was smiley and friendly during the photo session and shook hands.  He was nice during the autograph session too.  He didn't look up much but he did smile and say hi

Having been going to Whedon related cons for some 3 years now I have managed to meet quite a few of the Buffy cast, all the main Angel cast except Charisma and most of the Firefly cast.  I feel lucky, priviliged and awed by the fact that I have managed to meet so many of my the people I respect and admire.

Through all the people that I have met, cast and crew, there has only been one that has dissapointed by which is Tom Lenk, sorry Tom and his fans, I'm sure he's a really nice guy but meeting him in person I just find him to be so different from the person he has appeared to be in interviews.  The first time I met him I thought he must just be having a bad day, but when he was the same the second time I realised it was just him.  Maybe he is just shy, I dunno, he didn't seem to have any interest in what anyone said to him. Or it was  me, I know some people who have had a completely different experience with him.

I'm really surprised at the comments about Julie Benz, she was one of the first people I met, and I have met her a few times and she has always been really sweet and as passionate about the shows as we are.

It's so hard to have favourites but two recent meetings that have been very memorable for me are J. August Richards cos he remembered me and I got hugs (mmmm - goes off into dream world) and Summer Glau cos I must have spent a good half hour chatting with her and she is such a genuine and nice person.  While I was with her she remembered loads of people and was giving hugs out to everyone.  All of the Firefly cast that I have met are really cool and at a recent con hung out drinking with us all till the wee small hours.

[rickyparty]

My favourite Buffy person I've met has to be Amber Benson, I had heard she was accomodating towards fans but now I've seen it for myself I would put her at the top of my Buffy list.

If we're going purely from SM events I'd say Kali Rocha at C7 without a doubt. I only got to meet her and Alexis and got rushed through Alexis' queue (although he seemed pretty cool). Kali was really nice and polite and very attractive in person too.

Special mention to Eliza Dusku (although quite a rushed one again), Mercedes McNab (Absolutely stunning ) and Juliet Landau (who wasn't as busy as I thought she'd be as it was a in-store signing rather than an event).

I cannot agree more with you about the first two !  

I wouldn't want to choose between Amber and Amy.  The nightmare would be two events at the same time, one with Amber and the other with Amy  

I can't wait to meet Summer in november  

[red8886]

is that at an event in Heathrow.

cause i wanted to go to that but i didn't know anyone on the boards and i'm the only one of my friends who likes Firefly (i know htey are all insane)

[lams9999]

If you speak about Amy (or Summer), yes I've met her (I will meet her) at en event located in Heathrow.  Feel free to join, the atmosphere is very relaxed and it's easy to make friends.

I found Kristine Sutherland to be the nicest person I have ever met she chatted away to me which was very nice I also thought Juliet Landau was very nice and I was very pleased when I got to meet Charisma Carpenter at LFACC 3 which she seemed really pleasent smilling away but my Sister and myself were sixth in the line id not really get to talk to her because she was relly busy but as I say she is my favourate character so that made it more special.
