It's hard to figure out the Brent Spiner comments, because he's the "funny guy" of the cast.. those are usually the best ones to talk to.
Let me think about a few of the ones I ran into at Comic-Con a while back...
Jenette Goldstein, Mark Rolston, and Ricco Ross (Vasquez, Drake, and Frost from
Aliens), were all signing autographs together. Jenette was a real sweetheart, always had a smile on her face. And she's TINY.. lol. Rolston was very laid back, down to earth. Ross was a little more picky about the autographs and the payment (something about the picture I had signed by all three of them, I can't remember the specifics), but we did chat for a minute.
Warwick Davis is a class act. A friend of mine was getting an autograph (I was standing off to the side for pictures), and they chatted for a minute. My friend had been nervous about getting a photo with him because of his size... do you stay standing up, ignoring the size difference? Do you automatically kneel down, accentuating it? She didn't want to offend him, of course. Well, he took all that away by walking around the table, and reaching up for her, motioning her to bend down next to him so he could put an arm around her shoulder. Big smiles all around!
The other one I got a kick out of was Ted Raimi. Again, my friend was getting the autograph while I got the pictures. While she was waiting in line, I found myself standing next to an older gentleman in a suit. We chatted for a minute, I don't really remember what about.. probably Ted and his many different roles. He mentioned that Ted is
extremely forgetful about people he's met, and that if you
pretend like you know him from somewhere, he'll assume that you do, and he'll treat you like an old friend. Before he walked off, the guy I was talking to introduced himself. Turns out it was John Schulian, co-creator of
Xena! Shook my hand, wished me a great time at the convention, and went off to wherever.
I also saw Kenny Baker walking around, but he was walking with a purpose.. I distinctly remember he looked like he was heading to the bathroom, so I didn't bother him.. lol.
Someone mentioned Gates McFadden up above, and yes, she was very nice and down to earth. She was the main guest a convention I went to.. lord, a LONG time ago, I think the show was still on the air. She was bombarded by fans at the signing, so I didn't get any one on one time, but I do remember one thing she did during her stage appearance. While she was talking and answering questions, a little toddler boy wandered up toward the stage, he was maybe 2-3 years old. Right about the time he got to the stage, his mother realized where he was. But before she could do anything, Gates had reached down, picked him up, and kept talking! The kid was wearing one of those gigantic toy communicators of the time (which was damn near the size of his entire chest), and Gates joked that she wished they had communicators that big on the show. Apparently, one of the most common flubs the actors had was
missing the communicator when they went to hit it. She struck me as very down to earth, very friendly, and also very professional. And did I mention beautiful?
