Kenny Baker at Collectormania 19

I met Kenny Baker back in 2003 I think but have recently wanted to get a double autographed photo of R2-D2 and C-3PO. I actually got Kenny's autograph on the Saturday but decided to go back on the Sunday to get his autograph done again as he accidentally scribbled on the photo first time round which was bothering me (OCD!) so the photo above is the result of my second trip. It was expensive but worth it; I shall look forward to completing this photo!

Dave Legeno at Collectormania 19

Once again, Dave Legeno from the last three Harry Potter films was signing at Collectormania 19 in Milton Keynes. The character he portrayed was by far one of my favourite villains from the series so was pretty excited to add his autograph into my Harry Potter collection. 

Henry Ian Cusick at Collectormania 19

It has been 2 years since Matt Fox signed for me at a stage door in London; I have wiped the dust off of the photo and have finally managed to get another name on it! Henry Ian Cusick who played Desmond was signing for Showmaster's at the MK Dons stadium in Milton Keynes... Two down, only ten more to go!

James McAvoy at the Trafalgar Studios

Had to hang around for a while to get James McAvoy's as he came out later than expected. Heard he had been a bit hit and miss so went feeling slightly optimistic . He came out and was okay with signing but seemed a bit stressed about people blocking the exit doors. I was hoping he would sign on the background of the photo but can't really complain as I still managed to get it!

Ben Whishaw at the Noel Coward Theatre

It has been a slow start to the year so far but have managed a quick trip to London to get a couple of autographs. I finally got Ben Whishaw's who was appearing in Peter and Alice at the Noel Coward Theatre along side Dame Judi Dench (who's I have already). He seemed friendly and was willing to sign anything.

Quentin Tarantino at the Django Unchained UK Premiere

I believe Quentin signed one autograph for everyone at the premiere which was good of him. It took him about 30 minutes to reach my section and we were at the beginning of the long carpet so I have no idea how long he braved the cold for. He was a really nice guy and thanked me. 

Samuel L. Jackson at the Django Unchained UK Premiere

Here is an autograph I thought id never get. When Samuel was announced to attend the premiere I knew I couldn't pass on the opportunity as Star Wars actors are my priority for autograph. When he arrived I was only concerned about getting a photograph of him as I didn't expect him to sign many autographs but to my surprise he walked directly towards me. He signed a little girls autograph book who was stood in next to me (Thank you to her as he effectively got his attention) at first I thought he was ignoring my Star Wars 10x8 as he was signing around it when it was clearly in his face but he finally took his time and signed it before disappearing. I believe he only signed 6-7 autographs in our area. I was extremely happy! Last time I felt this good about getting an autograph was getting Harrison Ford's a few years ago! With no doubt I am sure this will be my autograph of the year!

Kerry Washington at the Django Unchained UK Premiere


Kerry arrived and started signing several autographs in our section before signing a few autographs on the other side of the walkway. I just managed to get hers before she turned away which was lucky.

Christoph Waltz at the Django Unchained UK Premiere



After a short wait at UK premiere of Django Unchained I managed to get my first autograph of 2013. I believe this was the second autograph Christoph signed at the premiere as he approached my section first. He has signed it 'CW' which is something he has been doing recently... He normal signs his autograph with his full name but I guess he has shortened it in order to sign for the majority who turned out.
