Hello everyone
Unfortunately Yaphet Kotto will now no longer be able to make the event.

This is the first time that a guest cancellation has affected me so profoundly, absolutely gutted, particularly with no mention of being rescheduled for another event

Yeah that was what got to me as well

[showmasters]

Hi Guys
Of course we will try and get him rescheduled for another event but that takes time so will keep you updated if we are successful.
Meanwhile we have just added one of the best guests you are likely to see at Autographica.

Unfortunate news, still it's all coins saved towards the Buzz fund!

[space cadet steve]

Real pity that he can't make it. Glad that Martin Landau has been added though. My interest and enthusiasm have been restored!

[loveamyadams]

its a shame but it happens sometimes.

[PaulWeston]

Absolutely GUTTED! This is the only BIG Bond guest I missed at an event. I have regreted not checking the autograph website's (almost daily!) ever since!
I kinda knew it was going to happen as I deperately wanted to meet him. Arrrrrggggghhhhhh! Please, PLEASE get him to come to another event. He had so many hits to his announcement that he will bring in the punters too. I'm sure others will back me up and bedg for him to attend another even.

I am also gutted as was starting to get quite few signatures on my Alien Director's Cut DVD!Hope he can get to EMS I guess LFCC is too near.

[bruces]

Ah man! Would be great if he could be at LFCC this weekend?

[PaulWeston]

Do we know why he cancelled? The reason may give me some hope he would make the trip to the UK at another event. Is there any reason why we can't get him at the Entertainment Media Show?

[ian.mcrob]

yep Gutted as he is on my Bucket list of the Alien Cast members, any chance of getting him at one of the London shows and also Harry Dean Stanton who got more interest as he just been in the Avengers movie?

Just read this, gutted Kotto can't make it. Alien is one of my favourite films of all time and I'd desperately like to get an autograph from each of the main cast. With Veronica Cartwright and John Hurt last year and Tom Skerritt this past weekend, Yaphett Kotto would have taken this fan past the half way mark.

Really regretted missing him the last time he came over. Don't want to get morbid but these guys aren't getting any younger and sometimes I think with some announcements it really could be our last chance to meet some of these stars. Kotto is 72, Ian Holm is 80 Harry Dean Stanton has just turned 85. I'm sure Showmasters do all they can to get guests like these three but I do think there needs to be a certain sense of urgency with some, especially with Stanton!

...and how old is Sigourney Weaver?

[Howie]

Sigourney is 62 nearly 63...none of them are spring chickens!!But the more Alien cast members the better!

Indeed. After the recent Showmasters events we can certainly hope that sooner or later some of them will materialise here in UK.
