Saoirse Ronan from The Host and Hannah

 I went to The Host premiere last week but security had it so locked down that I never even got within 50 feet of any of the stars to even ask them for an autograph.  So when I heard that Saoirse Ronan was going to be making a different appearance in LA this week I went if for no other reason than I had unsigned photos of her from the premiere (I hate unsigned photos).  She could not have been nicer.  She signed almost every photo there.  She took pictures with anyone who asked.  And she handled the whole crowd with a calm cool attitude and smile.  I really liked Hannah and seeing as how nice Saoirse was I will definitely check out The Host.

Matt Bomer from White Collar and Magic Mike

Matt Bomer is one of the nicest celebs you will meet in Hollywood.  He seems to always be in a good mood and is always sporting a big smile on his face.  I like White Collar and watch it on Netflix a lot so I'm happy whenever I get to see Matt and get some autographs.  I was out this week and saw that Matt was going to an event so I figured . . . why not pop in and get some autographs.  I had four 11x14s along and got them all signed on the way in.  Matt signed again on the way out and I just helped a buddy get his photos signed and took some video of Matt signing. 

 

Kaley Cuoco Bazinga

I went out for Kaley Cuoco this week and she was really nice.  She's usually pretty good about signing autographs and today was no different.  She signed six 11x14s for me and I went home happy. 

Mad Men Season 6 Premiere

I went to the Mad Men premiere this week and I did really well at it.  I like the show so to get to meet the cast and add some autographs to my collection is always a treat.  The whole cast is really nice and good about signing at events.  The only person who didn't sign the whole night was Jessica Pare (and I think she just doesn't like crowds because she signs for me whenever it is low key). But at the premiere I filled up two Mad Men logo cast pieces with a ton of names, and also got some cool individuals and combo shot done. 

 Here's my logo cast pieces one is a 12x18 one is a 11x14:

Here's my seven person cast shot, I got everyone but Jared Harris on it (he did not come):

Robert Morse was the first to arrive and sign.  Every time I've seen him he has been a really nice man.  He came over and said, "The last time I signed like this that fellow from Breaking Bad [Bryan Cranston] started signing fifty feet away from me and everyone ran away from me and went down by him".  I was there that night . . . and I was one of the people who did that. Sorry Robert :)

Christopher Stanley came right over when we called.  I added him to my two cast pieces. 

Rich Somer also is someone who seems really nice, he always comes right over when you ask him for an autograph.  I added him to both my cast pieces. 

Vincent Kartheiser came over and signed for the entire fan area. I added him to my two logo shots, and also got him on my seven person shot. 

 I don't know why but when I see John Slattery in person I always think of his character on 30 Rock: Steve Austin.  In my opinion he is the nicest Mad Men cast member.  He spends a lot of time with the fans and always seems to be happy when he does it. 

Jon Hamm has gotten much better about signing in the last year or so.  He used to be tough, but every time I have seen him in the last year he seems really happy to sign and that is good for me because I like his character on the show and I loved The Town. 

I got John and Jon on one individual each and completed a combo of the two of them:

Elisabeth Moss is decent about signing.  Some times I've seen her not do it, but then other times she signs a lot.  I didn't have much for her today, and got her on my cast shot and a combo shot of her and Christina.

Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner is also really nice, and happily signed my two logo cast pieces. 

 The crowd got a little crazy when January Jones and Christina Hendricks signed.  But luckily they both seem used to it and just keep signing despite the madness. January is one of my favorites, so I'm always happy to see her.  I got her on some individuals and my cast shot and I finally got a picture with her.  

 Cosgrove! The first time I ever saw Aaron Stanton (maybe two years back) I didn't know his real name only his character on the show so I said, "Cosgrove can you sign an autograph",  he smiled and came right over.   I added Aaron to both my cast shots tonight. 

 Christina Hendricks has been really really nice about signing every time I've seen her in the last year and a half.   In fact, I think she has a legitimate chance of being on my "Best Signers of the Year" list when I make it.  She signed at multiple occasions of the night, took pictures with fans, and was really nice about it all. I got her on some individuals, a combo shot, and all my cast shots. 

Here's the Christina Elisabeth combo I completed:

Dwayne The Rock Johnson

I went out this week to try to get some Dwayne Johnson autographs and I was in luck, he stopped and signed for the fans.  He didn't say much and signed very quickly but I'll take it.  I think the GI Joe Retaliation premiere is going to be absolute madness so I am pretty happy to get Dwayne in a lower key situation on some 11x14s. 

Arrow's Stephen Amell

I had not had the pleasure of meeting Stephen Amell yet, so when I heard he was going to be in LA I made plans to go get some autographs.  He was pretty nice and came right over when the fans called him.  He signed multiples autographs for people, he took pictures with fans who asked, all in all a nice dude.  I got three 11x14s signed all Arrow shots. 

The Call Premiere with Halle Berry

I had to meet a friend in Hollywood on Tuesday so if I'm out . . . why not get some autographs too.  The Call premiere was happening at the same time and I popped in last minute and was able to get some Halle Berry autographs.  I was only at the premiere about half an hour.  Halle came right over when we called and signed for the whole fan pit.  I had two 11x14 photos along and I got them both signed.   Quick efficient day. 

Jim Parsons Completes My Big Bang Cast Shots!

Finally!!  There's nothing more satisfying than finishing cast photos that you have had for years and years.  I started two Big Bang cast photos the week of the Emmy's in 2011.  I got everyone on them that week . . . everyone except Jim Parsons.  And in the last two years I've only seen Jim Parsons once and it was from about 60 feet away.  So needless to say, getting an autograph from Jim is a rare treasure. 

Well I was out grocery shopping, when I got a phone call that Jim had went into a venue and motioned "after" to the crowd who called for him to come over and sign a few autographs.  I thought it too good to be true, but it was a risk I could not take.   I had to get drive down to Hollywood immediately.  I got there and about half an hour later, he walked out and walked over.  I was elated.  

Jim signed for everyone there and did photos-with anyone who asked.  It made me happy.  I completed these two 11x14s and felt the rush of satisfaction come over me from this two year project:

And for good measure I put him on two new cast shots for my future two year project :) and also a 8x10.  Hey it's all downhill after getting Jim.
