My experience with Tom Sizemore was positive.  In fact my interaction with him was probably the best experience over the course of the weekend for me.  He made me laugh.  I've summed up my experience with Tom in another thread, but cut and pasted here:

Everybody's photos have been great - keep 'em coming.

Here's mine:



Funny story:

- Brought a boarding pass that was used by Tom Sizemore

- I was in two minds whether to get it signed or not, so gone for broke

- When I gave him the ticket, he thought it was a cheque and wanted to pocket it

- When he realised it was a boarding pass, he was shocked.  He was saying "You $hitting me!"

- He signed it

- He then showed it to Christopher Lloyd

Thanks Showmaster for the memories

mine was good too, chatted, made jokes, he even said to take a second pic together as he moved on first one (turns out the first one didn't even work so woldn't have had any if he hadn't stopped me from walking off & take the second) was really playfull too, said he wasn't propared for the man love (arm arounf shoulder) then HE wrapped both his arms around me.

[timelord81r]

I saw him in the photo shoot on sunday, he was really cool, saying hi to everyone, he was visibly tired and hot, as were we all, but he was always trying to make sure ppl got a decent pic with him, seemed like a cool guy, I heard his talk was really good, I wanted to go to it but had too many shoots.

You 'brought' a boarding pass used by him? How did you acquire that???

For real? A German goes up to him at the desk, asks for a pic and he responds liek that? What happened next?

From a world famous auction website

He did confirm it was his.

i remember that, the photographer was pretty patient too...

[Manbeast]

Sounds hard to believe. I thought he was great.

[80sactionfan]

During Tom Sizemore's Saturday talk he said he was going to be the lead villian in Expendables 2. Did anyone else catch that?

no way?!!

i was gonna get a signature but he looked miserable signing so i didn't want to give him £20 of my money for no interaction.

[SpaceAce]

i thought he was a great guest, very friendly and chatty, talked about Black hawk down and Expendables 2,
saw him trying to kiss a male fan who was at his table, hehe
he seemed to be having a good time, his final words to me were ''f*ck, big hand'' hehe
maybe the finger gesture was taken the wrong way? i dont know, but i was happy to meet him and he was one of the best guests ive met at any con,

I was Tom's assistant on Sunday, I'm fairly sure the "finger" incident was quickly followed by a no I'm kidding comment from Tom.  Having  spent the day with him I know he has a raucous sense of humour and he'd be horrified to think he'd caused offense to anyone. Tom posed for pictures for anyone who had paid for an autograph , admittedly for a while choosing to do them either sitting at the desk or just looking up so people could take a nice head shot. He had a sore back for a while and keep getting up and down was bothering him.

I'm fairly sure LFCC was Tom's first show and to be honest he was more than a little nervous at the prospect. Even though he normally plays tough guys, he's anything but. A gentle, thoughtful man, totally genuine and brutally honest about himself and his life, as anyone who attended his talk would of heard. He was more than happy to give quite detailed, candid answers to anyone's questions and was amazed at some of the things people bought in to be signed. He thought the fans were great, had bought some fantastic unusual things to get signed(he couldn't get over the plane ticket:)  and really enjoyed meeting everyone.

I know that a few attendee waited for a while to see Tom. Please be assured we were not ignoring you, and please believe any private conversation we were having was with regard to Tom's day at the show and because of a personal matter that needed addressing. I apologize if we didn't either see or hear you approach because of the noise of the bands etc. We had to asked several people to speak up as we couldn't hear what they were saying over the noise. If you felt you were being ignored please accept my apologies it was certainly the last thing we would of wanted.
I hope the majority of you had as pleasant experience meeting Tom as he did meeting you and that you are pleased with your autographs and photo's.

Yes Tom is doing Expendables 2 and also he's going to be starting shooting soon on some episodes of Hawaii five O

@genesgal - Am interested to hear what more Tom had said after I had left.

I had asked him to sign this:

Awww, poor guy.  He got up for a stretch while I was one back in the queue and seemed a bit uncomfortable and twitchy (and I think he may have been feeling the heat a bit too), but I was too nervous to ask.  He was perfectly polite with me, smiled and made eye contact during the auto even if we didn't talk much and was so nice in my photoshoot (and no, I'm not a young attractive female!))  I don't know if he'd been asked for a hug pose in a photoshoot by anyone before me; it struck me afterwards that he thought I was just asking for a hug, full stop, as instead of posing and facing the camera, he actually turned full on to me and enveloped me in this wonderful embrace before seeming to realize and assuming a more customary pose.  (Not that I'm complaining.  At all. )  I was able to attend his Saturday talk and found it fascinating.  Great to meet him.

[lams9999]

Tom did an event in Germany about 6-7 weeks ago. Nothing compared to LFFC though, neither in terms of busy-ness nor in terms of quality of organisation. So in a sense, that was maybe his first signing event of that calibre indeed.

A bit gutted he was doing photos on Sunday after all, there was a "no posed photos" sign in front of you on the desk so I didn't ask for one.

[Big_Pants]

As his assistant said he replied that he was joking.  Everytime I looked up he seemed to be having a great time with the fans.

What did people ask and what did he say? Did he talk about the trouble he's famously been in?

[Ven Halcyon]

I was disappointed he didn't pose on Saturday, he looked completely knackered when i met him and so I chose not to get a photo with him on Sunday on that  basis.  I thought he did a couple of excellent and frank talk's though.
