Vale Of Health @ Hampstead Theatre

Another theatre I visited was the Hampstead theatre, where Gethin Anthony starred in a series of plays called Vale Of Health. Gethin Anthony is mostly known due to his part of Renly Baratheon in the TV-show Game Of Thrones. He was very friendly, signed my Game Of Thrones poster, a few photos and posed for a picture with me.


Other Desert Cities @ The Old Vic Theatre

 When  I was in London for the Empire Awards and the U.K. premiere of Naoh, I also visited a few theatre stage doors to meet some celebrities. One of the actresses I wanted to meet was Martha Plimpton, who is mostly known as Stef (her character) in The Goonies. Other than that she also played a mainpart in the TV-show Raising Hope amongst others. When she left via the stagedoor she signed my DVD-cover of the Goonies, a few photo's and she posed for a photo with me.


Movie Days Germany 2014

I decided to go this years Movie Days convention in Germany, mainly because their special guests were people you actually never see anywhere else. At least, I don't think most of them will soon show up at another convention. The convention itself wasn't really worth talking much about, and it clearly that the organisation tried to make as much money out of the guests as they possibly could. Considering the amount of paid visitors, it can be said with a certainty this convention lost money and a lot of it...
 
Laurence R. Harvey is, at the moment, only known as Martin (the main character) in The Human Centipede 2. Soon, he can also be seen in The Human Centipede 3 in a different role. It was really fun to talk to him about The Human Centipede franchise. I did decide to take part in the photoshoot to capture this moment forever.
 Robert LaSardo is mostly known for his parts in movies like Death Race, Leon and Out For Justice. But for me he is mostly known due his part as Escobar Gallardo in the TV-show Nip/Tuck. He was wlso very friendly and we talked a lot about The Human Centipede 3, in which he plays a role. I also did the photoshoot with him.
 Josef Altin is mostly known due to his part as Pypar in the TV-Show Game Of Thrones. He signed my poster and posed for a photo.
 Don "The Dragon" Wilson is an award winning martial arts master. He also played the main part in a few B-action movies, like the Bloodfist movies. He was more then willing to pose for a photo (for free) 
 Paul Logan is mostly known because he played the lead actor in B-horror movie Mega Piranha. He was also more then willing to pose for a photo (for free).
 Silvio Simac is mostly known due to small parts in movies like Transporter 3, D.O.A. and Undisputed 2.

Celebrities @ Covent Garden Hotel

When I was in London I decided to wait at a hotel to see if there were any celebrities staying. I decided to wait at the covent Garden hotel at the day of the Bafta's. I saw two people leaving the hotel while I was waiting for only a very short time.
 
Robert Forster (Jackie Brown, Alligator, Mulholland Dr.) left the hotel and was very friendly. He was making pictures with everybody, including me. This is certainly someone I loved to meet, as you almost never see him.
)  Amy Adams (Man Of Steel, American Hustle, The Fighter) signed my poster of Man Of Steel and posed for a photo.

Bafta After-Party @ Grosvenor House

This year was a, again, a disastrous year at the Grosvenor House after-party. So this will definately be my last year at this event. I did manage to get a few people at the party, but none of the bigger names...

Bafta Pre-Party @ Annabels

One of the annual Bafta pre-party's was, as usual, at Annabels. And, also as usual, a lot of the nominees never show up at this party, but a lot of random celebrities DO show up here.
 
This year the biggest name for me at the party was Kit Harington (Game Of Thrones, Pompeii) who signed my poster of Pompeii and posed for a photo.
 Dylan McDermott, star of TV-shows like Hostages, American Horror Story and The Practice, showed up. Me, being a big fan of American Horror Story, really liked getting a picture with him. 
 David O'Russell (Director of American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook and The Fighter) posed for a picture.
 Steve Coogan (Philomena, The Look Of Love, The Other Guys) signed my DVD-cover of The Trip and my Blu-Ray cover of Tropic Thunder and posed for a photo.

12 Angry Men @ Garrick Theatre

Another stagedoor I waited to meet some people was the Garrick theatre where Jeff Fahey (Machete, Lost, The Lawnmower Man) and Robert Vaughn (The Magnificent Seven, Bullit, The Towering Inferno) were in a play called Twelve Angry Men.
 
The 81 year old Academy Award nominee Robert Vaughn signed my DVD of Bullit and sort of posed for a photo.
 Jeff Fahey was really nice. He signed seven items for me and posed for a picture.


Strangers On A Train @ Gielgud Theatre

When I was in London to witness this years Bafta Awards I decided to go and try to meet some at the stagedoors of theatres also. This trip I went to the stagedoor of the Gielgud theatre to meet Myanna Buring and Jack Huston.
 
Myanna Buring (The Descent, Twilight: Breaking Dawn) signed my poster of Twilight: Breaking Dawn and posed for a photo.
 Jack Huston (Richard Harrow from the HBO-Hitseries Boardwalk Empire) signed my poster of Boardwalk Empire and posed for a photo.

Meeting king Joffrey on the streets in Dublin!

While I was walking on the streets of Dublin I saw Jack Gleeson (King Joffrey in Game Of Thrones) driving by on his bike. When I called him he stopped and posed for a picture with me. For me he is absolutely great in the HBO-series and I think he is one of the most hated characters of TV's history.

Anchorman 2 Dublin Premiere 2013

To end last year with a bang I decided to go to Dublin to attend the european premiere of the new comedy Anchorman 2, starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Paul Rudd and David Koechner.
The set-up at theSavoy in Dublin was not very professional, because it was obvious this sort of premieres was new to them. I was not in the best spot because of them moving around all the time, but I was certainly not at the worst spot either...
 
Steve Carrel (Get Smart, The Office), which I've heard stories of that he would be vile, was indeed very nice! He signed my Anchorman picture and posed for a photo.
 David Koechner (also known from Piranha 3DD and Final Destination 5) was also very nice and he also signed my Anchorman picture and the DVD-cover as well before posing up for a picture.
 Adam McKay (director of Stepbrothers, The Other Guys) signed my DVD-cover of Anchorman and my Blu-Ray cover of The Other Guys because posing for a photo.
