Being a HUGE fan of the show ARROW and really loving Katrina Law's character of Nyssa Al Ghul, I had to send out to her. I wrote to her years back before Arrow and if I remember correctly it came back really quick. However, this time around was a long wait. I was told from a fellow autograph collector that she still does respond, but it takes a while. I guess the wait was worth it because she signed both my 8x10 photos and even inscribed her character name which is a nice bonus! Plus, she even added cardboard to the envelope to protect the photos. An amazing gesture from an amazing and beautiful actress! Very pleased with this one!

VERNE TROYER - Through The Mail (TTM) Autograph
Verne Troyer
Sent: 03/03/2016
Rec'd: 10/25/2016 (est.)
(232 Day Return)
Let me first start of by saying that the received date is an estimate as I kind of got out of the autograph game for a while and when I got this in I just put in on the shelf. Life happens sometimes and all hobbies need a back seat. Now, since I have the time let me start this back up. So thank you for sticking with me.
This is an autograph I was happy to get back. I never had the chance to meet Verne Troyer at a convention when he was here in Dallas. I knew he signed TTM so I said what the hell and sent off. Thankfully he signed and inscribed both of my photos. However, when I opened the envelope both photos were bent. Not bad, but bad enough for me to cringe a little. What can you do? I guess its better then not having them come back at all. Lesson learned, I need to add a bit more protection when I send the photos out to get signed.

SHANNEN DOHERTY - Purchased Autograph
Shannen Doherty
Signed 8x10 Photo
Purchased
I normally do not purchase autographs online, but this is one I had to jump on. I know this may sound morbid, but take it as you please. Upon hearing of the health of Shannen Doherty and that she has cancer and not in the best of health, I needed to purchase this autograph as she was an autograph that I have always wanted. I loved her role in Mallrats (one of my favorite movies) and I wish I could of found a photo from that movie, but there was none. I stumbled upon this signed photo that was obtained at a convention in Florida on October 10, 2009. I did some research and seen that it was Spooky Empire. I also researched the graph and am convinced its 100% legit. So I made the seller an offer that I wasn't expecting him to accept as it was half of what he wanted, but he accepted it. I was happy to say the least to finally have her autograph in my collection.
I wish Shannen a speedy recovery and hope she get better soon. She has a long battle ahead of her and hope she stays positive and keeps fighting.

I know I am posting this a couple weeks late, but I have been busy as of late. In the mail I received back from Tovah Felshuh (Deanna in The Walking Dead) 2 8x10 photos that I sent that she graciously signed. I have seen her at conventions here at Dallas, but did not get anything from her unfortunately, but I thought why not try through the mail. So I did and she didn't disappoint me one bit. I really do plan on meeting her at some point if she ever comes back here for a convention. I will keep my eyes peeled and hope she makes it back. Until then, if you haven't sent her anything, please do, she's great to her fans through the mail and it's another Walking Dead autograph to the collection.

Another TTM back from one of my favorite actors, that's Jesse Eisenberg. Once I found out that he was doing a play in the UK, I had to send off to him. I normally only send 2 photos, but when I send overseas I always send 3 photos as postage costs more and what the heck, if they sign 3 that's an added bonus. As is the case in this instance.
I opened my mailbox yesterday and seen that I had a TTM return and there was no postage on it what so ever. I figured that it was a return from the UK and it was. It's just weird how I received it without any postage on the envelope, but hey it is what it is. When I opened the envelope and pulled the photos out I was pleasantly surprised that Jesse signed all my photos. Well not terribly surprised as he is super great to his fans. The best part was that he even returned my $5 that I added for postage since I don't have any international stamps. That was awesome. I never expect that, but more times then not the person usually does send your money back. So I thought that was cool.
Anyways, Jesse signed 3 great photos even a photo from Batman v Superman where he was Lex Luthor. Though the movie wasn't as good as I hoped, Jesse was great in the movie. Another great success from a great actor and if you haven't wrote to Jesse yet you still have time as his play goes on till August 13. So send away and you will not be disappointed.

Signed (2) 8x10 Photos
Sent: 02/02/16
Rec'd: 06/28/16
(146 Day Return)
An autograph that I lost hope on of it returning is from Heisman Trophy Winner and former NFL player Eddie George. Once I found out that he was doing a Broadway play I had to send off and try my luck. He was in the play 'Chicago'. I kept an eye on Startiger.com to see if anyone got success back from him and in the beginning they did, but only a few then it stopped. This is when I lost all hope and figured he was done signing as I am sure he was inundated with fan mail which is understandable.
To my surprise, 146 days later both my 8x10 photos arrived signed and I was pleased. He signed the Heisman photo that I really wanted signed so that made my day. I already have Eddie George on a multi-signed Hesiman 11x14 photo that I got 2 years ago when I met him in person. It is signed by I think 7 Heisman Trophy Winners and counting. That's a project I will be working on for a while.
Anyways, a great mail day and a tip for everyone, spend the time and check playbill.com and see what plays are up and coming and see who is in those shows. I have had a lot of success from sending to Broadway plays and getting actors and actresses I normally would never have gotten. That's your tip for the day.

KATE BECKINSALE - Autograph Purchase
Kate Beckinsale
8x12 Photo
An autograph that I am happy to have in my collection especially since its a Van Helsing photo and I already have Hugh Jackman on a photo from the movie. Kate was at Comicpalooza in Houston, TX on Saturday 6/18 only and I couldn't attend, luckily I knew someone that was going to try and get her in-person and he did on a Van Helsing photo. I paid the man his money (a lot less then what Kate was charging at the show) and I got my autograph. The signature is great, but kind of in a dark spot where she signed her last name, but that's the risk of an in-person autograph compared to paying for it at a convention where you can have the person sign where and what you want most times. None the less I am happy with it and that's what matters. Anyways, nothing more to say except that I wish I had the opportunity to meet this beautiful woman, but maybe she will be around again sooner then later, if ever. We shall see and time will tell.

CARL WEATHERS - Comicpalooza 2016 - 06/19/2016
Carl Weathers
Signed 11x14 Rocky Photo and 8x12 Happy Gilmore Photo
The last guest I met and the one I always wanted to meet was the great Carl Weathers. I had 2 photos for him to sign and had great quotes if he would do them. I got in his line and was the first one as he just got back from having lunch. I shook his hand and gave him my Happy Gilmore photo. He loved the quality of the photo and asked where I got it. I told him that I found it online after searching for awhile. There is like no good quality Happy Gilmore photos out there and he even told me that I don't even have this photo. I asked him to inscribe "Tap it in" and he did and signed it and put "Chubbs" his character name.
Next, I handed him the 11x14 photo and asked him if he would write a long quote if it was no issue. He said sure and continued to inscribe "Apollo Creed meets the Italian Stallion. Sounds like a damned monster movie." He said writing it was like a writing a book. I apologized and he was cool about it. He signed the photo and it turned out great. I couldn't be more happy with the way it turned out. Carl made sure to sign in a good spot on the photo.
I really hope Carl comes to another show, but he is rare and doesn't do many shows at all so I was lucky enough that he was here. That was the last graph I got for the day and I couldn't be any happier with the whole show.
LENNIE JAMES - Comicpalooza 2016 - 06/19/2016
Lennie James
Signed my The Walking Dead Season 2 Limited Edition Zombie Bust
After I met Charlie Hunnam I went to see Lennie James. I tried to get Lennie at a previous show, but he canceled and I was bummed as I wanted to add him to my zombie bust. I was happy when he was going to be at this show. I went up to his line and maybe 5 people in line at the time which made me happier cause I hate waiting. I got up to Lennie and he shook my hand and asked my name and he was nice as can be. He really liked all the signatures I had on the bust and I told him he could pick any spot he sees even though there isn't much room left anymore. He picked a spot and squeezed his signature in no problem. I just wish I had a finer marker, but it still looks great. He shook my hand again and thanked me and I told him I can't wait for this next season to start and he told me that it will blow my mind. Just exactly the thing I wanted to hear. A great experience with Lennie James and I left a happy camper.

CHARLIE HUNNAM - Comicpalooza 2016 - 06/19/2016
Charlie Hunnam
Signed Multi-Signed SOA Helmet
Probably one of my most anticipated encounters was with Charlie Hunnam (Jax from Sons of Anarchy). After the debacle with Space City Comic Con, he was gracious enough to come back to Houston, TX for Comicpalooza a couple weeks later and make up to his fans that were not able to get to meet him a few weeks back at Space City. I was thrilled when I found out he was coming back one more time. Me and a few friends made the road trip out there and it would be a memorable one.
It started out that I got a flat tire half way to Houston which sucked, but thanks to my buds they fixed the flat in no time and we found a shop near Houston that got me in and out in 30 minutes. Can't beat that. Once at the show we bee lined for Charlie's line and there was maybe 30-40 people tops in line. I was shocked there wasn't more, but a good majority probably got him on Saturday. I wasn't complaining. I got up to him and shook his hand and thanked him and told him what and where to sign and he did. He got up for a photo with me and shook my hand again and thanked me as well and I left. It was quick, but was a relief knowing I FINALLY met Charlie Hunnam. He is great as can be to his fans and that's awesome. Knowing that I can say I met him is awesome, considering that he will probably never do another convention again.

ADRIAN PETERSON - Adrian Peterson Day - 06/18/2016
Adrian Peterson
Signed Official NFL Football & 8x10 Photo
It was that time of year again for Adrian Peterson Day in Palestine, TX where he grew up. Every year they have this celebration and Adrian Peterson always shows up for the support of his home town.
Now, don't get me wrong this is not an autograph signing event. It's an event to pay tribute to one of the best running backs in the NFL and show support for his hometown of Palestine, TX. Adrian does agree to sign autographs, but limits it to 1 per person which is fine in my books.
It is always a hot days as it is in the summer so it's not going to be a comfortable time waiting to get to meet him, but well worth it when you do. A lot of Adrian's family and friends are there and he meets with them first. Then the kids then the adults. He will sign an autograph and take photos which is awesome. Now, you may get a short signature (which is AD28 or his full signature) and it is just random on what he does, but you would like to get a full signature if possible. Well, a few of my friends got footballs signed with his full sig, but in a gold sharpie that he wouldn't swap out for a silver one. When I got to him I got the short sig AD28 (All Day 28, which it stands for) in the same gold and that;s ok, but would of liked the fuller sig, but no big deal. Plus, I was able to get a quick photo with him so that's a plus.
About 2 hours later I tried to get him again. I had a photo from last year with him and I that I would try to sign. He already told a couple of my friends he wasn't signing again for them and I was like there is no harm in a photo of us for him to sign. He was getting ready to leave and was in the passenger side of his SUV. He was signing 6 footballs for charity and he told everyone that he is done signing after the footballs. He got to the last one and said he was done. He looked at me and seen my photo and he waved it over to him. He took it and signed it with a full signature and said he was done signing and handed the sharpie to someone and then I thanked him and left. I was really happy to get a second item signed even though it was a photo with him and I from last years event.
All in all it was a great day and I had a good time with friends as well. You couldn't ask for much more. Now here's looking to next year.....

One of my longest TTM returns to date is from Diana Taurasi, former University of Connecticut basketball player and current WNBA Phoenix Mercury player. I had forgotten I even had this out there, but was surprised when it came back. I remember the reason I sent this was because of the ESPN magazine body issue photo. I am happy she signed it and sent it back even though it did take 3 years.

Charlie Hunnam
Signed (3) 8x10 Photos
Sent via a Private Address
Today was probably the best day I have had in a while doing TTM's. Getting back Charlie Hunnam made me overcome with joy. I felt like a kid on Christmas opening up the envelope and seeing my photos signed by him.
Having a bad experience a few weeks back with Space City Comic Con in Houston, I was supposed to meet Charlie on a Sunday and I had my pre-order autograph ticket ready as I was anxious to meet him and get my SOA helmet signed, plus another couple photos. Well if you don't know what happened Google it and read about it. It was a disaster and Charlie left on Saturday and I didn't even make the drive from Dallas which is about 4 hours. I was bummed to say the least and quite pissed off too. I thought I would never have the chance to get his autograph let alone meet him. Well today, to my surprise these showed up that I sent sometime in March to a private address I researched. I couldn't be more ecstatic about this. Plus, today Comicpalooza (another show in Houston) announced they will have Charlie Hunnam there this weekend. BOOM! I am going to go and meet Charlie and get my helmet signed. I haven't had a day like this in a while. Charlie Hunnam is really great to his fans and if you haven't seen Sons of Anarchy please do yourself a favor and check it out. He's great in it. Well, until next time, I am going to gloat in my success for today.

Stephen Amell (@ Dallas Comic Con 2016)
David Ramsey (@ Dallas Comic Con 2016)
John Barrowman (@ Dallas Comic Con 2016)
Being a fan of the show Arrow, I started this piece to attempt to get the entire cast on it which in the back of my mind I know will not happen. With that said, if you have seen my previous post about this photo couple months back you will know that I obtain Amell, Ramsey & Barrowman at Dallas Comic Con. Katie Cassidy was supposed to be at that show, but she canceled last minute and I wasn't shocked as she has done that here the previous year. No biggie right? Well when I found out that she was going to be at Fan Expo Dallas in June I knew I wasn't going to be there. I was asking around to my friends if anyone was going and no one was until a friend and co-worker of mine said he was taking his son there and if I needed anyone. Keep in mind that at Walker Stalker Dallas a few months back I got him Giancarlo Esposito and Robin Lord Taylor. So I think he was paying me back the favor since he knew I wasn't going. I said that I needed Katie Cassidy on my photo and he said no problem. Boy was I relieved to finally be getting her on my photo.
A week later I finally seen him and I gave him the money for the autograph and he gave me my photo and man does it look great. I told my buddy to make sure she puts Black Canary on there and she did. Funny thing he told me was that she was not to friendly. He said she was kind of spaced out and kept looking at her phone the whole time taking selfies of her self and not paying any attention to the fans that were there meeting her. He also said he was in line for about an hour which I felt bad about, but I warned him though. I just really wish I could of been there as I would of loved to meet her in person, but after what he told me I guess I am glad I wasn't. In the end I got my autograph and now to find the next cast member to sign it.

Well when I found out that she was going to be at Fan Expo Dallas in June I knew I wasn't going to be there. I was asking around to my friends if anyone was going and no one was until a friend and co-worker of mine said he was taking his son there and if I needed anyone. Keep in mind that at Walker Stalker Dallas a few months back I got him Giancarlo Esposito and Robin Lord Taylor. So I think he was paying me back the favor since he knew I wasn't going. I said that I needed Katie Cassidy on my photo and he said no problem. Boy was I relieved to finally be getting her on my photo.
A week later I finally seen him and I gave him the money for the autograph and he gave me my photo and man does it look great. I told my buddy to make sure she puts Black Canary on there and she did. Funny thing he told me was that she was not to friendly. He said she was kind of spaced out and kept looking at her phone the whole time taking selfies of her self and not paying any attention to the fans that were there meeting her. He also said he was in line for about an hour which I felt bad about, but I warned him though. I just really wish I could of been there as I would of loved to meet her in person, but after what he told me I guess I am glad I wasn't. In the end I got my autograph and now to find the next cast member to sign it.

SLASH - Through The Mail (TTM) Autograph
Slash
Signed 8x10 Photo
Sent: 05/13/2015
Rec'd: 05/23/2016
(370 Day Return)
An autograph that I have gave up hope on, but finally came back was Slash. I sent an 8x10 photo to him last year as he is usually good about only signing 1 through the mail. Well he kept my photo and sent his own and personalized and inscribed it. He wrote R & F'n' R which means, well you know what it means. I am happy to get this return back, but wish he would of signed my photo, but no big deal, it is a success from one bad ass guitarist. I didn't even realize that it was gone that long, but he was on tour and is going to be on tour with Guns n' Roses so to even get this back is awesome.

PHYLICIA RASHAD - Through The Mail (TTM) Autograph
Phylicia Rashad
Signed (2) 8x10 photos
Once I seen that Phylicia Rashad was on Broadway in a play, I had to take the chance and send off to her. She was in the play 'Head of Passes' which ended on the 24th of April. Since the play was over I kind of gave up on getting anything back from her. Well to my surprise she must have taken her fan mail home and signed it there. I was happy when I opened it up because usually more times then not when a play is over the actor or actress will not take the fan mail with them. So I was pleasantly surprised. I wish I would have sent a photo from the movie Creed that she was in, but I really liked the 2 photos I sent. I loved her on the Cosby show back in the day when I was growing up so this success today is a win in my book.

ROSE MCGOWAN, MATTHEW LILLARD & SKEET ULRICH - Texas Frightmare 2016
Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard & Skeet Ulrich
Signed 10x15 Scream movie poster photo already signed by Neve Campbell & David Arquette
I couldn't pass up on meeting Rose, Matthew & Skeet at Texas Frightmare since I already started my cast signed photo. I knew it wasn't going to be cheap either, but I had to suck it up and pay for it. All 3 were $50 each and I can justify paying that for Rose but not the other 2, but it is what it is and I did it.
I met Matthew Lillard first and he couldn't of been any nicer. He was joking with me from the start and it was funny. He was really interacting with his fans and that can be rare at a convention. I handed him my photo and he signed it. I am not to happy about his signature which is just his initials, but that is how he signs so I have no choice but to like it. After he signed my photo we took a picture then it was off to the table next to him.
I met Skeet Ulrich after Lillard and like Matthew, Skeet was down to earth. I shook his hand and thanked him, but he thanked me for being there. He also signed my photo and took a picture afterwards. Though it was quick, it was nice meeting Skeet finally.
Lastly, the next day (Saturday) the only other person I needed was Rose McGowan. She was not at the show on Friday. I knew her line was going to be long so I bought my autograph ticket on Friday. Well, I was right her line was long. I got in line around 11:15 and she was to arrive at noon and she did. About less then 3 hours later, I finally was in front of Rose. I shook her hand and thanked her for being there and she smiled. She took my Scream photo and signed it with a beautiful signature. I snapped a photo of her signing it as there were no photos with her at the table. After that I asked her for a hug and she said of course. She got up and gave me a hug and thanked me again and I was on my way with a smile on my face. Though Rose has a shaved head, she is still an amazing and beautiful woman. My day was complete and I left to go home as my back was killing me. Another great year at Texas Frightmare and am looking forward to next year already.

SARAH WAYNE CALLIES - Texas Frightmare 2016
Sarah Wayne Callies
Signed Walking Dead Season 2 BluRay Limited Edition Zombie Head
I was hoping that 3rd time was the charm for Sarah Wayne Callies to come to Texas Frightmare. The last 2 times she was supposed to be here she cancelled. She promised everyone on Facebook that she will be at Texas Frightmare this year and she didn't disappoint.
I have a cast signed Season 2 Walking Dead BluRay Limited Edition zombie head that I needed to add her to and so I was really excited to finally meet her. She came in Friday for the show, but was about 3 hours late due to a late flight. I went to her table last thing on Friday before the show closed for the night and maybe there were 5 people ahead of me. I finally got in front of her and shook her hand and thanked her for being there and she thanked me and took my zombie head. I told her there isn't much room and she can sign if she finds a spot and she goes "Oh, I'll sign right here under Shane". I laughed and she continued to sign in the perfect spot. She added her character name "Lori" and added a heart. I thanked her again and had a nice little conversation about the zombie head and I got a photo with her and I was on my way. She was adorable and sweet as can be. She really does appreciate her fans. I was glad I had the opportunity to meet her finally. It was well worth the wait. Now, to search out Lennie James next for my zombie head.

KANE HODDER - Texas Frightmare 2016
Kane Hodder
Signed Jason Mask
Kane was someone at Texas Frightmare I originally didn't plan on getting, but I have a multi-signed Jason mask as you can see from the picture and I already had Kane on it. However, I gave it to my buddy to get signed at a private signing he was doing with Kane. When I got the mask back it was signed, but the signature was really light and streaky. The sharpie he used must of been bad cause it just wasn't as black and bold as the others. I tried to remove the signature and it was doing more harm then good so I said the heck with it I will just meet him at the show. I never met him before so I really didn't mind at all. I was actually looking forward to it.
When I finally got to his table after about 30 minutes in line, Kane looked in rough shape. He was sitting down the entire time even for photos. He just looked tired and hurt. Maybe he was having back issues or something, but I felt bad for him. Anyways, I gave him my mask and explained the situation. I told him to sign over his last signature with a good black marker and he did just that. Plus he inscribed 7,8,9,X which wasn't on there before. He was Jason in Parts 7-10. I shook his hand and thanked him. He asked me if I had Richard Brooker on the mask and I said no, I started the mask after he passed away. He said it was nice meeting me and then I left. I enjoyed meeting Kane even though he was in rough shape. I didn't even bother to ask for a picture and I am fine with that. I did see him later walking around and I am sure his back was bad cause he was kind of slouched over, but who knows. I hope he gets better and he comes back cause I will get a photo next time.

CAITLYN JENNER - Through The Mail (TTM) Autograph
Caitlyn Jenner
Signed (2) 8x10 Photos
Sent: 03/22/16
Rec'd: 04/25/16
(33 Day Return)
Though there is a lot of controversy surrounding Caitlyn Jenner, I am more focused on the past and all that he accomplished as Bruce Jenner. That's being an Olympic Gold Medalist for the Decathlon in the 1976 Olympics. I never sent off to Bruce when Bruce was Bruce and that was my mistake. When I was deep into sending TTM's it never crossed my mind to send at that time. Well now, that Bruce is now Caitlyn, I figured I would send off a couple photos. It just didn't seem right to send photos of Bruce because Bruce is no more and she signs as Caitlyn. Caitlyn is here and that's the photos I sent. Bruce/Caitlyn is really a great signer TTM and has been for quite some time. I just wished I had sent to him earlier, but no big deal. I am still happy to have Caitlyn's autograph in my collection. Though she isn't a Gold Medalist, she however had the courage to come out and make known to the world who she is now and that takes balls (no pun intended). For that, I can respect. I will end that here, but to get these photos back signed still makes me remember how great an athlete Bruce was back in the day and that's something that no one can take away..

(79 Day Return)
Being a huge The Walking Dead fan as I have stated before, anytime I can get an autograph from a cast member is awesome. Though I have missed out on getting Katelyn Nacon who is Enid in the show, when she was in town for a convention, I decided to send these photos off to her via TTM. She's a great signer TTM and I figured I would try. 79 days later my photos came back signed and personalized to me. I couldn't be more happier. Though she doesn't have a huge part in The Walking Dead, I feel they are leading up to something big with her. Maybe next season she will play a more prominent part, that's if anyone knows that she is locked up in a closet thanks to Carl (sorry, a spoiler from the last episode). Time will tell, but for today I am glad these came back signed and they will fit perfectly in my Walking Dead autograph collection.

TOM PAYNE & TED WHITE - Private Signing
Tom Payne
Signed 8x10 Photo
Ted White
Signed Jason Vorhees Funko Pop
My buddy Jayare with Zobie Productions was doing a private signing with both Tom Payne who is Jesus in The Walking Dead and Ted White who has an extensive acting career. I really wanted Tom Payne for my Walking Dead collection. He is going to have a HUGE part next Season and maybe Seasons to come. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get in on it so I did. Next, Ted White who is 90 years old and is not attending anymore conventions. I have met Ted before and he is a great guy and loves his fans. I didn't have a Jason Funko signed by him and so that's what I ended up getting. Ted was Jason in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Besides that he was a stunt double for John Wayne and Clark Gable back in the day. I am happy to have these two autographs in my collection all thanks to Jayare.

SEAN PATRICK FLANERY - Local News Interview 04/21/2016
Sean Patrick Flanery
Signed 11x14 Photo
Sean Patrick Flanery was in Dallas, TX yesterday to promote his new book he has coming out called "Jane Two". A local news station was interviewing Sean to promote his book. Being a huge Boondock Saints movie fan, I had to get a Boondock Saints photo with him and Norman Reeds which I hope to get signed soon.
Sean came walking up to the news station all by himself and at first I didn't think it was him till my buddy Dave said that's him. So we walked towards Sean and he was nice as can be. He signed autographs for mostly everyone there, but he said he had to get in and would sign on the way out. He already signed my photo so all I wanted was a photo with him. After the interview he came out and started where he left off. He was on Periscope (an app that takes live video feed) the whole time when he left the studio and was signing and taking pictures (yes I got mine). You can check it out if you have the app on your phone. It's kinda funny to say the least.
It was a great time with friends while we waited to meet Sean Patrick Flanery and Alfred Molina. There's not many days like this when all goes well. Another successful day in the books!

Alfred Molina
Signed 8x12 & 11x14 Photo
Alfred Molina was in town here in Dallas, TX for the USA Film Festival promoting his new movie called "Little Men". He was at a local news station for an interview to promote his movie and the Film Festival.
Alfred Molina is a celebrity that really cares a lot about his fans. He was really nice, signed what we had and even had time to take pictures. I love the remake Maverick and he has the role of Angel in that movie. It's a great movie if you haven't seen it. Mel Gibson is Maverick of course and James Garner is in it as well. Check it out. Anyways, I told Alfred that I loved his role of Angel in Maverick and he told me I was just talking about that movie to someone this morning. I had a great time talking to him and seeing everyone get their items signed. I thought Alfred would of been overwhelmed, but he was having a great time with all of us. We all thanked him and he went on his way in to the studio.

DAVID ARQUETTE - Local News Interview 04/20/2016
David Arquette
Signed 8x12 & 10x15 Photos
It's that time of year again in the Dallas, TX area. That time is the Dallas International Film Festival and the USA Film Festival which fall back to back. It's a great time especially when the Film Festivals bring some big names in. As luck would have it, the DIFF had David Arquette coming in to promote his film "Orion". I just purchased a Scream movie poster photo that was signed by Neve Campbell and it was authenticated by PSA. Reason I purchased it was because at Texas Frightmare next week the rest of the cast will be there including Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich & Rose McGowan. Also, Jamie Kennedy is in town this week and I will add him as well. David Arquette is going to be at Texas Frightmare as well, but I thought I would try to get to him before that.
A local news station was having David as a guest to promote his movie and the film festival and he was to be in studio. So myself and a bunch of friends got there early and sure enough David was walking towards us to get into the studio. We got to him and he was really friendly and signed and took pictures with all of his fans. He was awesome and was joking around with us. It was a great experience overall and I couldn't be more pleased.
P.S. i If you haven't watched the movie Bone Tomahawk with him in it, please watch it. It is a great movie. Though David has a small part it's damn good.
