What Buffyverse alums have you met?

[zoelee]

ive meet james marsters, mercedes mcnab and seen ambre benson, i ran out of money so couldnt meet her, she was next to mercedes. they are all very nice.

[trunkstheslayer]

I've met Jo Chen and that's it but she was awesome

[Renée]

I've never met anyone... omg I'm so jealous

[seryna]

I've met SMG & Eliza Dushku- both at ComiCon in San Diego. I was a little put off by Sarah's attitude- she was promoting the Grudge and was refusing to sign BTVS stuff. I mean, I saw her sign a DVD box and take a picture with a fan, but when I got closer she shut down a fan wanting her to sign a BtVS Script and a guy wanting a BTVS cast photo signed- because 'she wasn't promoting that anymore'.

So I went and saw Eliza and she was cool taking pictures, signing everything- especially BTVS stuff.

[Saturn 5]

Michelle Tractenberg (but whilst she was still in her adorable moppet phase)
Kristine Sutherland (a lovely woman and one hot MILF!)
Nic Brendon-very Xander like
David Boreanaz- a bit fatter than he appears on screen
James Marsters- at least I glimpsed him through all the Spikemania
Vincent Korthenizer (or however you spell it!)-pushed past me on his way to the bar
Juliet Landau- did her 'look at all the people line' in her Drusilla voice and chilled me to the bone
Stephanie Romanov- class act, reminded me of Jackie Kennedy and that was before I saw her play her on screen
Mark Lutz- very funny
Charisma Carpenter- very pretty but wears a LOT of makeup
J August Richards-not at all Gunn like
Amy Acker- told me her mum doesn't really drive the bus
Clare Kramer/Emma Caulfield/Julie Benz-stereotypical Hollywood glamourpusses (and I mean that in a good way)
Didn't meet them but saw Alysson Hannigan on stage in 'When Harry met Sally' and Anthony Head in 'The Pirates of Penzance' and 'Otherwise Engaged'

I sadly met no one in person.. but my Uncle saw David Boreanaz talking on his cell in the parking lot of the Sundance Film Festival once. Also, while he was walking to the bar he bumped shoulders with Eliza Dushku. He said that she apolgized.. he kept walking.. and he did a double take and realized who it was.

I'm such a geek, when I read your post I got so excited. I could really imagine myself seeing David and Eliza.

I haven't met anyone, but I did see Charisma Carpenter. Man, she is so much more beautiful in real life.

[El Diablo Robotico]

I'm also in the "never met any" club. The funny thing is, my cousin was an extra on "Buffy", so I suppose technically he'd qualify, but I've never met him, either (his family grew up on the west coast, and most of the rest of us are east-coasters). I think he was actually in several episodes, but the one where you can really see him well is "Sleeper"--he's the black-clad blonde guy dancing at the Bronze, who the female vamp points out to Spike and says "I'll take him, you take her... or the other way around."

From what I've heard, tho, I haven't missed much--apparently he's sort of a nutjob...

[Whedon Fan]

I've not met many Whedonverse cast members but I'll start with the main one:

Joss Whedon...woo came to Edinburgh promoting Serenity, signed my dvd and done a 40 odd minute Q&A. I didn't ask a question but the person next to me did. Very intruging. Apparently if he gets to make his Serenity sequel "Return to Serenity" then he will explore the Mal And Inara relationship. He felt bad not giving Inara much screen time in the first film. The Shepard Book past and Jubal Early would be in it too.

Most of the main Sernenity cast...sat behind them in the cinema on the first preview of Serenity. So weird wathcing them on screen and then watching them right on front of me. Nathan Fillion kept turning round, I think it was to see fans reactions of the big/important scenes

Amber Benson- Edinburgh again. Was in Forbidden Planet signing comics, pictures etc...I asked her of she would ever be added to the main credits and of she would have a bigger role in the sixth series...little did I know that she would be getting killed off. I bet she kenw as well at the time I was asking all of this but had to keep quite. lol

Not met James Marsters although I bought an official Spikie signed photo from his website. I also really like his music. GOTR and his solo stuff. Thats about it really lol. The rest I hope to meet one day.

[Angelsgirl]

I haven't met any Buffy alums But then why on earth would any of them come to the Isle of Man....OR where am I gonna get £1000 to go to the states from!!! lol

BUT Marc Blucas did come over here, not sure why and one of my mates (one of my very few buffy fan friends) literally bumped into him in Woolworths!! What a random place to meet him. Apparently he was lovely, very chilled out, happy to stop and have a quick chat and sign an autograph.

[snizapman6294]

i haven't met anyone but M. Knight Shamyalan (or however the hell you spell it) is my neighbor and his house is scary as sh*t! he had a wooden elephant in his yard and one day it was just gone, never to be seen again. and if anyone has ever seen Spanglish, the fat daughter went to my school and she's soooo nice (and not really fat she had to wear a fat suit) and i met Kimberly Locke and i have her autograph.

[bitca]

My brother spent a few hours with SMG (my brother works in the film industry in Hollywood). He barely knew who she was! (Ok he knew who she was, but he is not a Buffy fan at all, so he didn't care). If only he had told me ahead of time, I might have flown to LA and tried to sneak in :/ Maybe thats the reason why he didn't tell me...

[Just Willow]

well, since i live in Canada, it's pretty rare to run across someone form LA, plus my parents would never fly me down to California for a convention.

however, i am friends with Amber Benson on Facebook. i've messaged her about eh Q and A we're doing with her on the Joss and Co board. does that count?

[Mathieu]

I'm not really into celebrities, so not interested in meeting any of them. i would be embarassed and I wouldn't know what to tell them besides I'm such a fan of the show and they would be "yeah that's cool, just like the other two billion fans that we have". Although I would probably freak out if I met them in person, in the sense that it would kinda feel like meeting the characters from the show. We're not supposed to know they're actors right?

I'm soooo insanely jealous! I've never met any Buffy alums and would probably revert to some kind of speechless troglodyte if i ever did, but one of my life aims is to meet Kristine Sutherland and give her a big hug!

.....................i wish i was you SO bad right now!

[ambersknight]

I must admit I've only met 2 of the Buffy cast, and they were very different experiences.

I met Juliet Landau and she was very nice, don't get me wrong, but undeniably all business. I couldn't help feel that the smile was there cos she was being paid to smile. I may be wrong but it felt less like a greeting and more of being part of a work day.

Amber Benson I have met twice now and she is very different in temprament. She makes you feel like she has travelled to the convention just so she can meet you. making you feel like the celebrity for 30 seconds rather than the fan. You go away from the experience feeling like you've been treated not as a punter, but a s human being. The only other people I've met who had a similar ethic were Ernie Hudson and Lance Henriksen.

[Reluctant Hero]

I don't think I would like meeting any of the cast members. I'm sure they're all really nice, but they're something about seeing people from tv in real life that creeps me out. I watch a lot of hockey and whenever I went to a game it was unnerving to see players up close. Also I do a lot of acting (not professionally) so I try my hardest to separate the actor from the character. I try not to think of Buffy Summers and SMG as the same person. I do the same for all the other characters.
