dwarfbabe Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Dirk will be in Plymouth on 16 July, finishing a theatre tour. Would be great if he put in an appearance at LFCC before he heads off back home. Anyone else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dufresne Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 With the remake movie on the way, and interest heightened, I'm sure more A Team guests can be expected this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comawhite Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) I'd vote for Benedict, only so I can get him to write Frak Katee Sackhoff, and her to write Frak Dirk Benedict, then tell him she has more fans... then hopefully see which would win in a fight. But I wouldn't really have them write frak. I'd get the other word. You know. spam. I don't get starred any more, I get spam'd? Fucksake.

BACYLON Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Dirk is a great guy and it would be excellent to have both 'Starbucks' at LFCC!! Not what I heard Was only going by personal experience, he was very friendly at Collectormania Manchester when I met him, he seemed to spend time with everyone who met him. Laughing and joking with them, taking pictures with everyone and generally seemed pleased to be there. He wrote a long dedication and drew a picture on the BSG soundtrack album cover I got signed. Also, when I met him (and I heard him do the same for people in front of the queue before me) not only did he ask for your name when meeting you but he went to the trouble of remembering it and using it when you said goodbye a couple of minutes later. Can't fault him from a meet and greet guest viewpoint, thats why I think it'll be great if he is able to attend another event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comawhite Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Indeed they do. Though they should revoke that term for actors like that girl in Emmerdale who are completely useless in all forms of their performing life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrixKiddo88 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Dirk is really nice and a great guest. Only reason some people may not like him is 1) his attitude towards the new galactica, especially Starbuck and 2) His attitude towards smoking (staunch supporter of it and says it isnt that bad for your health) Apart from that, great chap when I met him. Just very honest and outspoken, even at event talks when you'd think he would put it on the back-burner lol Love him for that Edited February 14, 2010 by BeatrixKiddo88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatrixKiddo88 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Still a big cigar fan, and says passive smoking is there just not as bad as everyone says it is lol And he said this on stage at midlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The health risks of passive smoking are greatly exaggerated. Edited February 14, 2010 by MartyMichaels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchthesky Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 When I met Dirk he went into great detail about the "race row" at CBB. I should sell my story <3. I learnt things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just very honest and outspoken, even at event talks when you'd think he would put it on the back-burner lol Outspoken, yes. Honest.... not so much. Unless he genuinely believes the original BSG wasn't a commercial venture jumping on the SW bandwagon. On the passive smoking thing... it's gone a little OTT, much like smoking in general, but it does have health risks. However... it's safer to be the victim of passive smoking than it is to breathe in toxic city air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrixKiddo88 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I mean honest in the 'I'm at a con, surrounded by sci-fi fans, but i'll say I dont like Starbuck and the new BSG anyway' way. Most guests would try and be a bit diplomatic and be all 'well, it wasnt my cup of tea but they are doing good work' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLOW99 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Dirk was really nice at Manchester. He refused to go for dinner and told his aide that he could eat tomorrow as people had come to meet him. He asked my name and where i was from and my sister, bless her, tried to explain exactly where we live, despite him not having the foggiest. I was really impressed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More being a bit of a dick considering he called Sackhoff a hack because she had chebs. A nice pair of chebs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
