THIS is the picture that made me a Sam Witwer fan. I was in NYC for Christmas of 2010. After getting off at a subway station, I saw huge amounts of these promo posters. Vampire, werewolf and ghost living together. I literally stopped in my tracks as my group walked ahead. I took a picture to remember the January première date. I was sold at vampire. I got the Hunny to try Being Human out with me and we have been hooked ever since!
I was obviously a huge fan upon just seeing him {he is gorgeous } but it wasn't until the Being Human panel at SDCC in 2011 that I became a fan of him as a person. The way he interacted with his cast mates, his sense of humor and his nerdiness for Star Wars made him into a down to Earth real person! That same year at SDCC I was relaxing in front of the Hard Rock Hotel and guess who walks by? The entire cast of Being Human! I went into full fan-girl mode but was still able to snap a few pictures {isn't SDCC a magical place?!}. A while later they walked back by and hung out right in front of us and I was able to get my picture with all of them!

Life got even better at Phoenix Comic Con this year were I was able to meet Sam twice more! Both times he was so sweet. Especially when I saw him in our hotel lobby and he graciously smiled for a picture.
Where to find Sam:
*Being Human
*Dexter Season 1
*Star Wars Force Unleashed video games
*The Clone Wars
How to connect to his fandom:
This is why I am a fan of Sam!
I ran into him after the Star Wars Geek Roundtable panel on Friday at SDCC. I was panicking (I was having some extreme anxiety earlier) so I couldn't really form any words so rather than embarrass myself I convinced my friend (Thank you Kaitlyn!)to ask him to sign the back of my badge and take a picture with me. I wish I had been able to ask him myself, but I was literally terrified at the moment. Thank god my friend understood that I would totally regret not getting at least an autograph.
ReplyDeleteCrystal, I had the same problem when we met at PHXCC!! I totally stumbled on my words and I was defiantly shaking a bit...but it was all worth it :)
