Another nice success for you Redhead! {up} Sir Ian is a fantastic actor! I like the photo you sent, I loved "The Da Vinci Code", it's one of my favourite films (I also have the whole main cast's autographs, except Tom Hanks). :)

Enjoy!

Great success, i wonder why he dident put your name on it...he always makes a point to personalise photos.

Congratulations! Sir Ian is probably my all-time favorite actor. I sent him a photo a bit ago to his agency, but I didn't realize there was a postage increase and I put insufficient stamps on the SASE so I don't think he'll respond to that one. I had completely forgotten about this play... thanks for reminding me! I think I'll try him here. You chose a great picture, too! {up}

Interesting success!

I tried him at Waiting For Godot in the UK the last time he was performing it and I never heard back.

I've already tried twice and for some reason have the worst luck. The first time I sent to his agency and the second time I sent to a venue in the UK. I definitely want him but it costs me over $10 every time I send to the UK---I am referring to total cost, postage, photo etc. I have seen all kinds of people get really fast successes from him, I have also seen people wait up to ten months as he is working, and that is understandable.

For some reason mine get lost or something. I am going to try his agency again when I feel I can spare the ten dollars.
