First guest announced:


Josef Bradna - The Butcher in Hostel

[Bill]

Second guest announced:


Mira Furlan - LOST, Babylon 5

[Harry]

Hmmm weird... William Mapother wasn't a huge success on DSC2 (considering the small amount of autographs he sold) so why book another LOST-guest this time? :S

[Bill]

She's also from Babylon 5, so fans of that show will come as well. As for LOST: You don't hear me complaining, William was superb, and now I'll be present at DSC3 as well to check if Miran is as great as William. And to get a personalised pic and a sig on my poster.

Babylon 5 is the same story. Claudia Christian and Julie Caitlin Brown appeared at Screenheroes 1,5 year ago and they were also not busy at all. So why bring a Babylon 5 guest again?

Don't get me wrong: I'm happy with every guest that'll appear at DSC3 and Ms. Furlan will probably be a great one. But from the point of view of the organizers, I still don't think it doesn't make sense.

Bill, if your going, would you mind getting me a Furlan photo signed? I'll pay in advance and supply the photo on time ofcourse.

[Bill]

Sure! No probs!

But then hardly anyone was busy at ScreenHeroes. The only one I really had to wait for was Anthony Daniels and that was because he takes his time.
It's an interesting point though, as who would be interesting enough to get? And affordable?

You're putting exactly the finger on the weak spot. There are lots of actors that could be interesting, but probably most of them are not affordable according to Dutch standards.

It's hard to come up with names that are both interesting AND affordable. It's not impossible though, considering some people who visited a Dutch convention in the past: Dirk Benedict, Dwight Schulz, Robert Englund, Ray Park, Anthony Head, David Carradine, Dave Prowse and Teryl Rothery to name a few.

I also think it's not always a question of money. There are actors that are not interested in lots of money, but are more interested in conventions that have the day filled with a program. Not every actor is willing to sit the whole day behind a table just signing autographs.
