bruce boxleitner & cindy morgan 04/24/10

Another Sci Fi Expo treat - in fact, a really special treat for all of us who grew up thinking that Tron was one of the greatest films of the early 80s (seriously who didn't want their own personal Light Bike?)

Of course, I'm referencing Bruce Boxleitner, Tron himself, as well as the star of one of the best, most thoughtfully plotted, sci-fi shows of all time, Babylon 5 (as Captain John Sheridan). Joining Bruce was fellow Tron, and Caddyshack star, the lovely Cindy Morgan.

Their Q&A came in at almost an hour - with a lot of time spent telling stories about being cast in and making Tron, and the upcoming Tron: Legacy. Also, some brilliant stories on how Bruce auditioned for the role of Luke Skywalker and thought George Lucas was the... (actually I'm going to let you listen to it, I don't want to give away the punchline!).

sean patrick flanery 01/31/10

Dallas Comic Con is always an entertaining event, and they had some great actors attending this year - Charisma Carpenter (Buffy, Angel, Veronica Mars), Adam West (Batman, Family Guy), Daniel Cudmore (X-Men II/III, Twilight: New Moon) and Sean Patrick Flanery (Young Indiana Jones, Powder, Boondock Saints I/II.)

As a huge Joss Whedon fan, I attended because of Charisma Carpenter, but I was seriously impressed by Sean Patrick Flanery. It was the first convention as a speaker and he turned out to be a hilarious and very open speaker, definitely the most fun Q&A of the event. He touched on all aspects of his career, with particular focus on Young Indy, the ongoing Boondock Saints phenomenon and future projects.

I had a chance to try out my new Flip UltraHD camera - and captured the entire Q&A. I've split the 33 minute session into 4 pieces to align with YouTube's 10-minute-clip policy. Enjoy!
