I really have to give a very clear and loud message to the man who I believe was in-charge of Photo A (area). He was there on all three days and was very much in-charge of the James Caan line on Sunday afternoon if that helps to identify him. So many people for that photo shoot and he was Cool. Calm. Collected. And he used his voice with authority and clear, precise instructions. He was polite and quipped to keep the crowd happy. Excellent job. All crew tried and did their very best and personally I had no issues at all (apart from sore feet).

I have been going to such events and conventions for years and met amazing people but a highlight for me was James Caan a personal idol of mine ...... having said that - I think this year at LFCC - every single person I met was amazing and I had the most fab inter-actions:- James Caan - a Legend. I got to ask him a question (about John Wayne) at his talk on Friday. What an amazing answer - what an incredible talk. As for his photo shoot - after stating how honoured I was to meet him he whispered "Thank you Sweetheart". I melted. What a guy - what an actor - what a star !!! Peter Weller - up there in the Hollywood icon listings is this man. Again, I managed to get a question answered (about Hawaii 50) at his talk. Ask anyone who was at that talk on Saturday and they will simply say it was .... amazing. Brilliant. At his signing, we talked so much about a film I recommended to him at his talk, that he forgot to personalise his photo !! I don't care - I have a great reason why he forgot - we were chatting too much being nerdy film buffs. Shane Rimmer - a childhood hero of mine. I love this man. He has done movies galore and I realised at young age that he was the man who voiced Scott Tracey when I saw him in a movie. Having acted with my idol, James Caan, in "Rollerball" - he was always special. Remembered me at the photo shoot and was so gentle. An absolute sweetheart of a gentleman. Thanks to the lady with him - his wife I believe - who took a photo of me with him at his desk which I did not even ask for but of course I said "yes please" .. he chuckled when I whispered I loved him in "Hanover Street". Magic. Lance Henriksen - what can I say about Lance Henriksen. A true and absolute star. Charming, polite, funny, and so very accomplished and interesting. He chatted about my love for his film, "The Right Stuff" and experimented writing his name on his Frank Black Photo. (around the side of the picture). The gentleman he is, Mr Henriksen stood as I shook his hand. A True Star. Matt Zimmerman - charming, dapper and an absolute scream. I had the best fun chatting to Matt. He enjoyed so much talking to me about the series UFO after I pointed out I had met the late great Michael Billington who he was pictured with on one of his photos. He seemed very amused that I knew all about the episode. He was absolutely a great fun guy who did not hesitate to jump up from his desk to have a photo done with me. A gentleman. Johnny Whitworth - smashing. Quite simply, Smashing. I explained, that for personal reasons - I have missed or lost track of many shows over the last three years or so and I have had many box-sets of programmes given to me by relations and friends - one being "The 100". I did not realise he was in it and I was greatly chuffed to find out he was !!! He seemed genuinely taken aback and touched that I liked him so much that I was looking forward to continuing the series as he was going to be in it. It pleased me to think I made him happy. I have never ever written like this about one of these shows before on the forum (this is only my second ever post !!) but I have to admit - all my photos are great, even my pictures around the event it self are super - and I had the most amazing chats.... I even got emotional after meeting Mr Caan which has never, ever, happened to me. Loved. Every. Second.

My jaw dropped to the ground when I saw that James Caan is attending !!!! A true Hollywood Legend. I immediately booked a photo shoot ticket for Sunday without even thinking about it - I just cannot keep staring at it. I cannot believe it. And I am getting to see Matthew Modine on the same day ..... my little Film Fan mind has imploded with happiness !!!! Wow.
