Brian Blessed
Brian is famous for being a TV personality and movie star.
He is most famous for playing Prince Vultan in Flash Gordon, but I met him for his role as Bos Nass in Star Wars Episode 1.
Brian was awesome... so full of life and a funny person. He told me that in Star Wars when he shook his face and made the noise Boss Nass made it cost £70,000 in the studio.
He was also very interested in my best friend who took this photo... Brian kept asking me if he was a mental case and if he should be scared. He was so funny and a really nice person to meet.

I got Brian to sign my Star Wars poster... this is a close up of the signature.
Lance Henriksen
I have met Lance previously in 2006 at Collectormania 10... but since then I have bought a Terminator poster that Linda Hamilton & Michael Biehn has signed... i met him again so he could sign my poster.
Last time I met him he was quiet and wouldn't pose for photos, this time was a completely different story.
Lance was really friendly and we talked about the Terminator for a while. He told me that He was supposed to play the Terminator originally before they gave the role to Arnold. He understands why they made the decision though. He also said that He would have played it completely differently. He said he would have played the character a lot more sinister which would have made it a completely different movie.
It was a real pleasure meeting Lance.

Detective Hal Vukovich in The Terminator
I got Lance to sign the same poster as Linda Hamiton & Michael Biehn. This is a close up of his signature.
Sean Astin
Sean is an actor that has been acting most of his life.
He has been in films such as 50 First Dates & California Man. But he is mostly known for his roles in The Goonies and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Sean was the busiest person at Collectormania when I went. The line of people was huge and Showmasters crew were struggling to keep it short.
When I met him it was super fast, but he was nice enough to speak very briefly. When he looked at my picture that I wanted signed he didn't know where to sign. I said that Corey had signed over his face, he just smiled and said it was alright. He posed for a very quick photo and then we were herded out... I didn't mind too much. I was happy I got a posed photo with everyone that day. It was another successful Collectormania!
