Morena Baccarin – Dallas Comic-Con...

Morena Baccarin is best known for playing Inara Serra in Joss Whedon’s Firefly and Serenity. She almost instantly became one of my favorite Sci-Fi actresses when I first saw her on film as Adria in Stargate SG-1 and it’s spin-off film Stargate: The Ark of Truth; then as Inara in Firefly. I saw her live in person in the tail-end of the new “V” panel at San Diego Comic-Con a few years ago, but didn’t get a chance to meet her in person. Sadly, “V” was cancelled after it’s first season, but she was one of my favorite characters...

Peter Shinkoda at Long Beach Comic and H...

Peter Shinkoda, currently known for his roles as “Dai” on TNT’s Falling Skies, and as “Sektor” in Machinima’s web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy, was another awesome actor to talk to at Long Beach Comic and Horror Con. He was already talking about some of his work on Falling Skies when I went up to his table. I asked him about his role in Stargate SG-1 where he plays a Caledonian Aide in the 2006 episode “Ethon.” When he was autographing my Stargate SG-1 poster, he saw Amanda Tapping’s character L. Col. Samantha Carter,...

Anthony Montgomery and Brandon Easton Au...

  Anthony Montgomery, the actor who portrayed Travis Mayweather in Star Trek: Enterprise, was a special media guest at the 2012 WonderCon. He had a small booth (#916) set up at one of the countless aisles promoting his work on Star Trek: Enterprise, and his new comic book Miles Away, with co-writer Brandon Easton.   Anthony saw me looking at his booth and called me over. We talked a bit about his work, mostly on Star Trek, some of the other projects he had been involved in lately, and about his comic book. I then bought an 8×10 and the copy of the comic...

Robert Picardo is best known as “The Doctor” (no…not THE Doctor) in Star Trek: Voyager, Deep Space Nine and First Contact. He also played Richard Woolsey in Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe. He had roles in over 160 other film and TV projects, including 21 Jump Street, The Wonder Years, Inner Space, ER, The West Wing, The 4400; and recently in Castle, Supernatural, Body of Proof, and The Mentalist.

Ernie Hudson from Stargate SG-1, Ghostbu...

I met Ernie Hudson, best known for playing Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2, at the 2011 Anaheim Comic-Con. I was already a fan of some of his film and TV work, including the Ghostbusters films, Congo, The Crow, Heroes, and of course Stargate SG-1. He had one of the longest lines at the show. His fans were mostly in line with action figures, prints, posters, and DVD’s of Ghostbusters. The line was moving fast because he was only there for a limited time. When I got to the front, his...

Torri Higginson from Stargate Atlantis a...

Torri Higginson was another featured guest that I wanted to meet at the 2011 Anaheim Comic-Con, because of her role as Dr. Elizabeth Weir in Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis. I just met Rick Worthy, and had my SG-1 poster autographed, then heard someone say “hey…you in the Stargate shirt.” I turned around and saw Torri smiling from behind her table. I walked up and shook her hand. She immediately engaged me in conversation. I told her I only began watching the series a year ago, but became a huge fan. And that I just started watching the Stargate:...

Corin Nemec from Stargate SG-1 at the 20...

Corin Nemec played the character Jonas Quinn in seasons six and seven of Stargate: SG-1. I met him for the first time at the 2010 Long Beach Comic-Con where he was the only special guest from the series. No one was around when I got to his autograph area. I introduced myself and let him know that I’m a Stargate fan and would like him to autograph my poster. He was happy to see a fan of his work, and began talking about his time on the series as Jonas. He said that it was a very fun environment working on the series. Everyone had an amazing energy and a sense of...

Christopher Judge from Stargate SG-1 at ...

Teal’c the Jaffa, played by actor Christopher Judge, in Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, The Ark of Truth, and Continuum, is another one of my favorite characters in the series. He shows up is in almost every episode of SG-1, and—because of being an alien in a human team—sometimes acts as comic-relief in the series. I had a chance to meet Chris Judge at the 2010 New York comic-con, after almost meeting him at the San Diego Comic-Con the same year. He was located in the roped-off autograph area run by Celebrity Authentics at the show. His line was one of the longer ones...

Sarah Douglas, best known for playing Ursa in Superman (1878) and Superman II (1980), was one of the special guests — which also included Christopher Judge, Matt Lanter, Katee Sakhoff, Tricia Helfer, and Nicky Klein — that I wanted to meet on my trip to New York and the New York Comic-Con on October 2010. I brought my Stargate SG-1 poster with me to her signing are because of her role as Yosuuf, the human host to the “benevolent Tok’ra”, Garsaw of Belote, in the Stargate SG-1 season 2 two-part...
