Title: Help Me Decide, Languish!
Post by: DontSayBanana on March 08, 2013, 09:57:58 PM
Hitting a convention tomorrow, and I got it into my head to come back with at least one autograph.  If I've only got time for one, which of these three should I go for?

- Peter Mayhew
- Dirk Benedict
- Billy Dee Williams

Billy Dee.  Tell him he'd have made a better Harvey Dent than Tommy Lee Jones or Aaron Chinheart.

:lol: That's the reasoning behind him being on my list.  Also, the guy who blew up the frikkin' Death Star; not that other Skyskipper dude, the one with the bigass fleet. ;)

Peter Mayhew's there because I've always loved Chewie, and Starbuck's long been tied with Wedge Antilles as my favorite starfighter pilot, regardless of franchise.

Really?  Is this even a choice?  Did Peter or Dirk ever star in blaxsploitation flicks in the '70s?  Nighthawks?  Colt .45 commercials?

Dude.

I think you may have sold me, Seedy.  Let's see if I can get him to scribble "Rule number 2: never forget rule number 1." :lol:

Slap Billy Dee for betraying Han, then ask if he nailed Carrie Fisher.

Faceman/Starbuck, of course.

Result: I got Dirk Benedict and Billy Dee Williams during a lull in the autograph area- more or less got to walk right up to each of them.  Billy Dee's definitely showing his age, and he seemed a little overwhelmed (the convention pretty much took over a local hotel for the weekend, and they weren't really equipped to handle a mob of that size), but he's one of the biggest gentlemen I've ever met.  No wonder they picked him for Harvey Dent back in 88.

The most fun I had today was meeting Dirk Benedict.  The guy had a blast doing what he did, he's having a blast doing what he's doing now with the con circuit, and it shows.  Honestly, I was just in fanboy heaven.
