I have four in particular, all I met at a convention:
Russ Streiner from "Night of the Living Dead." I had three-day tickets and met him on the first day. The first day I bought one of his pictures and he happily signed it for me. He said to come back tomorrow and he would be dressed as a zombie and we could get pictures with him. Super nice guy!
Ken Foree was awesome, too. I'm sure he was hearing tons about his roles in Dawn of the Dead and the recent Halloween remake, but I had a five-minute conversation with him about his time on the "Keenan and Kel" show back in the '90s.
Edwin Neal, who played "The Hitchhiker" in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(1974)", talked to us for nearly twenty minutes. Topics ranged from stories about his time in making TCM to his voice work in video games. Really funny, too.
Scout Taylor-Compton was having a Q&A segment. It was in a hotel on the second floor. I ventured upstairs to find her because a line was forming in the signing room for her. She had just finished and smiled at me as she left the Q&A room, so I decided to follow her. I was shoved around somewhat by guards and jostlers but I still got to be third in line. She was amazing! I also got a picture taken with her.
