Caryno1 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 has Ralph Macchio ever done a convention? i know quite a few people wanted to meet him? I'd be disappointed if it was him. Don't think he's been a 'very big' since the mid 1980s. Michael C Hall!Michael Emerson! Rhona Mitra! The only one I've heard of is Rhona Mitra. Wouldnt class her as 'very big' either. Wasn't the last BIG guest announcment Scott Bakula? Although I appreciated his value to the convention community, yes he was big in that sense...if you were into the two TV shows he was known for. Scott Bakula was a very big guest. I was so bummed I couldn't go As it's been said before. It is always somebodys perfect guest,and if the person isn't to everyones taste that's their problem. You can't satisfy everyone. It must be damn hard to get A list stars to come,most often from the States. I have been truly amazed at who has attended so far.

He got asked and sent a proposal but he never came back with an answer which is a shame, as i know he's done conventions before and im sure he would be very popular.

Alric Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'll probably get lynched for saying this but when it's a big name guests first time at the event and they are only there for one day could you consider skipping the photo shoots and concentrate on the signings as you can be pretty sure of having a very full queue for them all day. It's not an issue for me as I have a gold ticket but it would improve the day for a lot of people that will spend most of the day waiting to get this rare autograph.

Moderators DavidB Posted February 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2012 They can get through photo shoots far quicker than they can autographs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar! Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Well, if it would be NPH for example I would prefer to get a photo with him instead of an autograph. I think, it depends if you´re collecting signatures or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatrixKiddo88 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah and then you are getting rid of a whole customer base who only do photos. They wouldn't have time for desk shots so people who only really want a pic would 1. Miss out and 2. Not spend their money. Shoots (and paid talks to a lesser extent) are a big chunk of SM making their money back for a big guest. Not doing them would lose them money big time.

bunny-summers Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 People should be given the option of shoots. Depending on who it is and price I may want a shoot over an autograph, especially if the person they get has been in loads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfpix Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 What With All the Hype about the 10 years since LOTR .. i'm guessing it might be a LOTR guest or someone from the new 2 films ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezekiel23 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Its Samuel L Jackson lol can only hope its a big name someone decent so far in my opinion norman redus is the only good actor there worth seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuato_Lives Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Well Dan Aykroyd's been here recently, so he's my guess...Please let it be him! Any chance of a clue - is it a Star Wars guest, or Harry Potter or Doctor Who or a film star? I got his autograph on Tuesday at a signing he did, he posed for pictures, happily signed as many things as people wanted and even chatted. Dan Aykroyd was the best person ever to meet!

jediknight49 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Any hint's or clues reagrding the "type" of films / TV this person has done without giving too much away?

dexterror Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I would love it to be Sienna Guillory, but I think I'm the only person on this site who's expressed an interest in meeting her, so I doubt it's her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that you had to buy a bottle to get access to the man himself, the cheapest of which was £60 (the next size up being £150)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolkienerd Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 My guess is Ewan Mcgregor, but I'd like it to be Ian Holm (although I'm sure he must have done a signing at some point in his career). I saw Ian at a premiere a few years ago and he was looking pretty tired then, so the one day aapearance could either be due to the individuals availability or because they physically couldn't handle more.
