Tom Baker
Actor
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love Tom Baker. I grew up watching him on Doctor Who and, while I love Matt Smith in the role, there will never be another Doctor like Doctor #4. I previously bought two Tom Baker autographs (here and here), but decided to write to Mr. Baker anyway. I sent him the picture with the daleks and the cover of my copy of City of Death. Imagine my surprise when I opened up the envelope and saw the third photo in there!
Nichelle Nichols
Actress
8x10 signed by the first lady of Star Trek herself, Nichelle Nichols! Ms. Nichols is an amazing woman, and it was fantastic to see her on stage. Even at 80 she's such a beautiful and graceful lady. She talked about meeting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Sally Ride, and told a humorous story about meeting Gene Roddenberry. She finished by singing part of the original Star Trek theme. I only met her very briefly, there were a lot of other people in line for her autograph, but still, it was amazing to talk to her, if only for a moment.
William Shatner
Actor
Signed 8x10 of William Shatner as Captain Kirk from "Star Trek." Shatner's time on stage was fantastic, he was telling all sorts of tall tales about himself. I only met him for about ten seconds. He just said "Hi, thanks for coming." I was a little too star struck to say more than "No, thank you!"
Rene Auberjonois
Actor
Signed 8x10 of Rene Auberjonois in "Boston Legal." Rene is another of my favorite actors, and it was also thrill to meet him. Mr. Auberjonois really liked the photo. He said that he had never seen it before and asked where I had found it. He also said "I look so distinguished! I look just like my father!" While on stage Mr. Auberjonois was asked about his voice work, and he did a little of "Le Poisson" from The Little Mermaid.
George Takei
Actor
8x10 of George Takei in "Heroes." I saw Mr. Takei several times during the convention, and he seems very nice in person. I LOVED seeing him on stage, I could have listened to him talk for hours. George signed autographs for a few hours, and took a few moments to chat with everyone along the way. He talked to me for a moment about Heroes and how much fun that show was. As I've said before, Mr. Takei is one of my favorite actors and it was a thrill to meet him in the flesh.
Tom Baker
Actor
Signed 16x12 photo
Growing up, I remember watching Tom Baker as The Doctor weekend afternoons on PBS with my dad. Later on I rediscovered his episodes being played in the 11PM-Midnight time-slot on the local public broadcasting station. Despite my love of Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor, Tom Baker's 4th Doctor is still one of my favorites. From UACC RD #86, Movie Star Autographs.
David Tennant
Actor
Signed 8x10 Photo
Photo of David Tennant as Peter Vincent in Fright Night signed in silver Sharpie. Mr. Tennant is perhaps best known for his role as the 10th Doctor in Doctor Who, although my preference is for him in Shakespearean settings. From UACC RD #86, Movie Star Autographs.
James Doohan
Actor
Signed 8 x 10 Photo
8 x 10 photo of James Doohan as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in Star Trek: Generations signed in silver paint pen with a holographic stick from the studio on the back. Although it's somewhat shaky and has a non-characteristic letter "D" it is the real deal, not an autopen. From Doohan's final signing before his death.
