  1. if any of you need flyers we can send them to you just email us at info@showmastersonline.com and how many you can give out and we will send them to you .

     

    If there are any Film Premieres in London or any Cult screenings (Star Wars Film, The Room) or any TV Actors or Film Actors appearing in plays then at the start or end of these things is where you need to be with your flyers.

     

    Also anything that garners a line such as celebrity book signings, or if anybody will be queuing to buy Star Wars on BluRay or something (I don't know if anybody is doing that tho').

  2. I'd love to meet Robin Tunney too!

     

    Her work in Prison Break and The Mentalist was/is great. I like that she is so naturally beautiful she does not have to do serious roles but has actively chosen these two roles where she is a strong, positive role model for young women.

  3. I haven't been to a convention like this before but I imagine that the most interesting guests would be the character actors that have worked on (almost) all the modern Trek series and have played many different roles. A lot of these ppl are great underrated (often primarily theatre trained) actors who are invariably entertaining and wildly knowledgeable about their craft.

     

    1. Vaughn Armstrong (Admiral Forrest ENT) holds the record for portraying the most characters within the Star Trek universe. Plus he has a banjo.

     

    2. J.G. Hertzler (General Martok DS9) is a riot at conventions - he actually teaches/taught acting at a good US university and has some fascinating opinions about Shakespeare, authorship and performance thereof.

     

    3. Gary Graham (Ambassador Soval ENT) actually wrote a book about being a screen actor as a guide for new screen actors, if the man can write a witty and insightful book imagine how much fun it would be to interact with him at a panel! Plus the man is an absolute gentleman.

     

    4. Randy Oglesby (Degra ENT) is my favourite of all of these and has worked on all the modern incarnations of Trek. (He was the Cardassian that tried to get Yoshi out of Kira in "The Darkness And The Light" which was some of the best acting on Trek. Shiveringly great!) Really serious American theatre actor, but I won't go on...

     

    5. Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun DS9) is great, not only for Star Trek but his understanding as a performer of genre media is unparalled. He did a one man show on Poe, to see even part of that here in the UK would be worth the price of the best tickets for me and my friend.

     

    Honorable shout outs to Marc Alaimo and Mark Lenard too!

  4. Just a pleadful beg to get Zeljko Ivanek to a convention in the UK.

     

    He is an amazing actor, and he has been in so many things, making each role memorable, stealing scenes with the force of his awesomeness.

     

    He was great in Oz, which the cast uniformly was, and yet he had some stand out scenes. Won an Emmy for Damages. Rocked Heroes. Now is back on TV in the UK in The Event.

     

    He has done conventions in the US. I would love him to come to a London convention. He did part of his actorly training in London and I do know he has travelled here of his own accord to see our world class theatre.

     

    Please please please :(

  5. I'd love to see Mr. Dawkins or any other popular scientist/popular science author at a convention.

     

    Given that a lot of these conventions have some sci-fi element it isn't so impossible to have these people there signing books and giving a talk etc.

     

    Sorry to interrupt the above conversation, I just think have science authors at a Showmasters events would be neat!

  6. I would love to meet Alan Rickman.

     

    I understand why he might be reluctant to do a convention, but so many of Britain's finest stage and film actors do conventions, like John Hurt, Christopher Lee and Patrick Stewart. I definitely rank Mr. Rickman among Britain's finest living actors.

     

    I think it would be great for him to do a convention, especially to meet younger fans who may be interested in meeting "Professor Snape" and finding out more about the actor to appreciate the rest of his rich body of film, TV and theater work.

     

    I am sure as an actor there is nothing more satisfying than inspiring an interest and appreciation of the acting art form in the young.
