Persephone1 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 The confusion is arising because his official site is quoting his publicist as categorically saying that he isn't attending this event. Not much room for interpretation there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 A publicist is not necessarily responsible for booking convention appearances. Â Many actors have a manager, a publicist and quite possible another agent for conventions. And the more people involved in taking care of business for an actor, the bigger the chances that wires do get crossed between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted May 9, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2007 There have been a couple of instances where I've known of guests that haven't actually known where they're supposed to be i.e. at what events etc. Like QS said, there are a lot of people involved and not all info gets passed through every person. So while I can't comment on the specifics here, it wouldn't be the first time someone just hasn't been informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlempers Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is it me or is his announcement not visible on this board anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picklesthedog Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Is it me or is his announcement not visible on this board anymore? Â Considering the information the thread contained, not surprised it has been deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted May 11, 2007 Moderators Share Posted May 11, 2007 While I don't know exactly what happened to it, I can say it's NOT the only topic to have just disappeared over the last few days. Â There seems to be a problem with quite a few that have been made and/or posted in recently in different sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted May 11, 2007 Showmasters Admin Share Posted May 11, 2007 Here we go again. He is still coming, we wasted time chasing up agents today and they came back with "yes, he is still coming, subject to work commitments as before."  So lets not bite every time someone starts a thread like this.  On that note, why are people contacting agents and managers asking "is it true that thay are attending this event?"  1 We do not go around announcing guests we do not have its a waste of our time and upsets the fans  2 We have proved ourselves so many times on this sort of thing, so have some faith. I know most of you guys and gilrls do  so see you at lfcc  jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyKirsty Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Bill Nighy has Dupuytren's Contracture, a hereditary condition which causes the ring and little fingers of each hand to be permanently bent inwards towards the palm. Â How on earth can he do a gruelling autograph session? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
