Noah Wyle X3, Drew Roy X1, Sarah Carter X1

Got the impression that Carter is NOT too fan friendly. She ignored the 2 of us there leaving set, and had her driver drive up as close as she could get returning to the set...but still had to walk by us & even at first didnt respond to us, and then turned around did 1 each & left before the pen had even dropped from her hand to the photo. I'll give her a 2nd chance, but in my experiences, a 1st impression like that is usually a sign of things to come.
Its just that alot of these celebs realize a true fan who writes them a letter or a true fan who runs into them from autograph dealers like yourself who wait at airports and run around sets carrying 8x10 photos and sharpies so they know they will end up for sale {down}

I get what you are saying. I disagree with the logic of it, but I get it.
Fact still is, for that to be your reaction the first time anyone in the city had met you (it was literally their 1st day of work in the city) was nothing short of disrespectful. Its not like she had been inundated with requests since being here, we were most likely the first people in this town not on her crew to even know who she was.

By that logic, every single photo ever signed is for sale... yet I know that isnt true. She should be more upset with anyone (not that its too likely. but I have seem lesser ppl forged) selling fakes than the person who actually put in the time to get a real item. The celeb shouldnt care where the item goes. They are paid comfortably for a job, that job includes promoting your product. Being disrespectful to potential customers of the product, regardless of WHY they are there is counterproductive...especially to a ratings starved show. If she sees me 10 times in a yr, sure, cold shoulder is not overly unreasonable. But 1st time? That certainly is.

Jensen Ackles X3
Jennifer Morrison X2
Britt Robertson X3
Shelley Hennig X5

It was long weekend getaway time this morning for the people filming in Vancouver. So I made the obscenely early trek to the airport and had a few successes. More upset that I missed someone I had a photo for who isnt here a lot.Giancarlo Esposito walked right by me, binder in hand, but he was so close to the gate when I saw him I didnt have time to react. Since he is such a small bit character in Once Upon A Time, I have to wonder if I will even see him again, its not like he needs to be here for extended periods of time.

All in all though, for 3 1/2 hrs spent, decent enough day.

Last Sunday

Ginnifer Goodwin X4
Josh Dallas X3
Michael Shannon X1

Could have had a few others if I wasnt out of stuff for them. Saw Secret Circle people again & Jennifer Morrison as well. Also saw Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles, but they deked us out leaving. Sad part is... its not the first time theyve done it... first time in a qhile though that we all fell for it.

Tuesday

Lana Parrilla X3
Robert Carlyle X3
Josh Dallas X2
Ginnifer Goodwin X3

I had found some new Goodwin & Dallas images the very next morning after seeing them return from the long weekend. Luckily, they are great with us for signing. Even Parrilla who in earlier meetings seemed like she might not be overly receptive was terrific & thanked me for coming out. I am really glad this cast is so good for fan interaction because its easily 1 of my top 10 favorite shows on tv right now. What hurt the most was, I missed Red Riding Hood (Meghan Ory) & Cinderella (Jessy Schram) by a couple hours that day.

Thanksgiving weekend.

Josh Jackson X1
Jensen Ackles X1
Jennifer Morrison X4
Chris Zylka X2
Sarah Carter X1
Moon Bloodgood X4
Stone Cold Steve Austin X1
Apolo Ohno X2
Alexander Ludwig X2
Grey Damon X1 (worst autograph I have got in awhile)

For how much tme I put in, I was pretty disappointed with the results. Also didnt help that I had run out of a couple people I did see, and in 1 case (Gale Harold) he faked a leg injury, limping along once he realized we saw him hoping we would just let him go, and when it didnt work..just opted to ignore us instead.

Brent Sexton X1

Was at the set for The Killing for 5+ hrs in the cold & rain. Only reason I bothered was, it was 2 blks from my house, so when there was no visible chance to graph or see the scene, I just walked home & hung out for a bit. Eventually, they wrapped the scenes and I went towards Brent as he walked up the street to his ride. He thanked me for coming out and signed the 1 photo I had.

This was my first hounding venture with the cast of this show. Last year I didnt care about it and assumed I wouldnt ever need to go for it, like a few other smaller shows weve had here...but then I watched it last year, got hooked on it, decided I wanted to get them.. but they wrapped the next week. Then the show pissed me off, so I wasnt even sure I was still wanting to get them this year....but since they film in my area ALOT, felt I would at least make an effort occasionally for them.

So yeah. thats my 1st attempt at the cast of The Killing.
