I can't see a thread on him yet. So i'm sorry if their is one and i've not spotted it. Now I just have to say. What an awesome guy he is. I'm not a Lost fan. But my mate is, she's obsessed. And he's her favourite Character. And we randomly ended up meeting him about 4 or 5 times. And by Sunday, he ended up recognising us. But we were forever having long conversations with him. And he tried to calm down somebody that was with us too.
I'll still probably never be a big Lost fan. But it was a nice experience to meet him.

Oh he was just awesome! Really friendly and appreciatively attentive.
My son is a mega Lost fan, and he was over the moon to meet him, and even though William was not known to me previously, it was impossible not to feel his charismatic warmth.

I met him on Saturday and thought he was a fantastic guests. Seemed genuinely happy to be there, was chatty and really enthusiastic.

Went to my first london comic con on saturday and the first guest i met was William Mapother he was such a nice guy. He chatted to me and my girlfriend about the photo he was signing and told us that it was cut from the episode in the end. He asked my girlfriend if she was scared of him! (embarrassingly 
she said yes) but he just laughed his head off! I went up later to get another lost group photo signed and he drew himself on there with the sun looking down on him! great guest!

I didn't meet him but when I was in the Robert Englund queue on Saturday, William looked REALLY friendly. At one point he jumped up and kissed one of the attendees on the cheek.

Get William to Lockdown!!! He's a great guest. I always get nervous before I met the guests but he made me feel relaxed and was really chatty and friendly and I love the personalisation he gave me.
LOST & Game of Thrones Guests Please! Especially Emilia Clarke!

We loved William, he was the first guest we met on the saturday and he was lovely!
He was so friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there!
On my Lost book he drew a picture of himself on it and signed it as there wasnt already a picture of him on there, he was so funny! What a great guy!

I was sat with William on Saturday and because we had such a great time he asked for me back the next day too. I can quite honestly say that he's absolutely my favourite guest of those I've been lucky enough to work with over the last few years and he was certainly one of the most genuine with his fans (not that the others aren't, but you know what I mean).
He really made an effort to remember the names of those people who came to see him more than once and really enjoyed meeting everyone - especially those who knew him from his lesser known work. At the end of the weekend he said he'd love to come back to the UK for another show because everyone had made him feel so welcome... even if most of you did accuse Ethan of being evil
On a more personal note, I adored him. During breaks and on quiet periods, among the other things we talked about, he was giving me relationship advice and trying to psyche me up for my first Thanksgiving (I'm meeting the Yank boyfriend's parents for the first time in November) and even offered to call me with a refresher closer to the time. He's a complete star in every possible way

Please help me out and include an event name and order number in the email (pref the subject line), I'm good at ticket-detective work, but it isn't fun trying to guess which event you're going to ;o)
Just assume that I've already called "SHOTGUN!!!" on all hot men attending SM/ME events as guests, crew, attendees or otherwise cuz it's so much easier that way and will lead to fewer fights.

He was awesome! I also had never been to a convention before and he was the first guest I met and he was so friendly and nice. I'm glad he was there and the first guest I met as it made me more relaxed about meeting other people as well as he was so lovely.

William was lovely. Definitely my favourite guest I met over the weekend, and one of the best guests I've ever met. I'd really love for William to come back, and I would most definitely see him again
Could we have guests from...
Fringe, V, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Smallville, Lost, BSG, Caprica, and Stargate pretty please.

Met him on the Sunday and he was a quality guest. He asked why I picked the photo I did (the Claire shot) and even asked permission to draw a target on Claires bump (and he says he's not evil!). He was very friendly and seemed happy to be there.
One of the many who accused him of being "Evil"!

Jack [to Boone]: Stop! Her head's not tilted far back enough. You're blowing air into her stomach.
Boone: You sure? [watches Jack do CPR] That's exactly what I was doing. I'm a lifeguard; I'm licensed
Jack: Yeah, well you need to seriously think about giving that license back
Boone: Maybe we should do one of those hole things? You know, stick that pen in the throat?
Jack [incredulously]: Yeah, good idea, you go get me a pen
............ (half hour later)
Boone: I didn't know which one would work best

William was my favourite guest at the show. As someone has said already, you just felt really relaxed talking to him.
It was also nice to meet Yvie with her knowledge of archaic laws in York! You certainly added to the fun experience

i met him as soon as i got there! I picked out the photo with locke as i said he scared the hell out of me in that episode! I really wanted to see dom, and william was the person i would see funds pending! Im so glad i did see him, as he made my year! I didnt get a "great" experience with dom, so william made up for that in many ways. He chatted with me for about 10 minutes and recorded a message on my dictaphone!
Im just gutted i didnt have enough cash to have my pic taken with him. I have even thought about writing to him, he had that such effect on me. Im a true fan of his now!
what more can i say, apart from that i LOVE HIM!
