I've seen a lot of posts here and elsewhere from people who have met the cast members of Heroes but none more recent than 2007. Does anyone know why this is? I was wondering because I wanted to try to find out if there were any upcoming events where I could possibly meet some of them. I've been a fan of the show since the first episode but I haven't really thought about meeting them until now and I would love to be able to meet them and possibly get a picture and/ or autograph. So if anyone knows anything about an upcoming event or something where it would be possible please let me know! Thanks. smile.gif

I went to the Jules Verne Adventure Film Festival in Los Angeles last year... around March maybe... Anyway, the cast was there but the only people you could "meet" were Adrian, Greg, Milo and the lady that played Maya. David Anders split early, MIlo was too busy flirting with Hayden, Kring and Loeb came and went, and Quinto just disappeared into thin air.

It wasn't a great experience, but as Adrian Pasdar was walking up the aisle I thanked him for coming down for the event.

No BS, the guy puts his hand on my shoulder and says "No, thank you." I was kinda weird because he was in a suit, I felt like I was on the show for a moment... LOL!

He's a 100% class act. Nathan Petrelli has been my favorite character since smile.gif

That is a great story KnightPhobia. He does sound like a real class act.

Milo is going to be at the New York Comic Con this Saturday. He isn't going to be there for Heroes, but this new comic or something he is a part of called "Beserker" or what ever it is. I know he'll be doing an autograph signing, but as far as I heard it is only for the VIP room so...we shall hope and see.

That's a funny story. I had no idea he had that kind of personality.

Well unfortunately AI live in California. lol
But I am going to Comic Con here in San Diego on Saturday, July 25 so hopefully they will be there again this year.

Are there any fan mail addresses that any of them have that they actually reply to?

I was an extra on the season 3 premiere, in the scene where Nathan gets shot. Greg is the COOLEST guy in the world. He was joking around with all of us because it was really cramped in there and there were a lot of us. So it was kinda hot and stuffy. Milo was also really nice. He joked around with us that he could get rid of the heat. So he went backstage and I don't know what the hell he did but suddenly we had the air conditioner working. It was a really long day, long hours, and Greg was saying that he was gonna go out and get us all donuts. Milo said "yeah, donuts are nice, but remember who got the air conditioner working." I've loved them both ever since.

Another day I was working on Dexter, which at the time filmed at the Sunset Gower Studios (where Heroes shoots) and I ran into Ali and Hayden. They were walking back to their trailers, but I didn't bother them. I have the biggest crush on Ali, so it was a huge squee moment. She's so incredibly gorgeous in real life. In retrospect I think they were shooting I Am Become Death because Hayden had the big fake pony tail she wore in that episode.

I get to work at the Gower Studios from time to time and I always make sure I walk by their trailers. They're all incredibly nice and I gotta say, probably the most good looking cast on TV.

Omg awesome! What do you do exactly that you get to work on all these awesome shows? Are you like a professional extra person or something? (Sorry if I'm ignorant).

All of my experiences with them have been exceptional. I've met Adrian and Milo about three or four times a piece. In November of 07 and January of 08 I went to see Adrian's play, Atlanta. It was playing at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood. I think I had heard about it on the official page he once had. I was looking for it this evening and I didn't see it on Google. sad.gif It was ran by his high school English teacher.

And the thing about Adrian, he doesn't have to say much for him to charm the pants off you. I don't think he even does it on purpose; it's just who he is. He has such a sweet and quirky personality. And if you ask the right question of him, you'll get an interesting answer. At Comic Con in 08, I asked everyone to describe the theme of Season 3 in a word or a compound word--partly because I wanted to hear Milo say "Melt your Head" in person...which he did say! biggrin.gif But Adrian reacted just as I had hoped he would: his description of Season 3 was Grunny in a thong. He's very quick minded, and has to be one of the quirkiest humors I've come across. He's also a gentleman and sweet.

Milo is nice as well. Very patient. I met him at the Wizard World Con, in LA, last year when he was promoting Pathology and Rest. Then I saw him at Golden Apple Comics, in Hollywood, for the release of Rest. I'll bet you that he'll do a release for Berserker too. I have no idea when the first one is coming out, but I do know the preview ish is out.

The thing about Comic Con, there are too many people. You'll be lucky just to see them. And believe me: seeing them is a very, very special treat all to itself. There might be autograph sessions, though. But not for Heroes. Hayden did one and Milo did one last year. And sometimes the actors stroll by the booth, but it's random and brief.

Do you know of Band From TV? Adrian is an official member of the band. There's a new event coming up in April that Greg, Adrian, and the musicians of Heroes, Wendy and Lisa, will surely be at. Heroes for Autism It sounds pretty swanky, though. I'm hoping that they at least have a cheap ticket.

I typically find out about things over Livejournal. That's how I heard about this Band From TV event. I knew about Milo at Golden Apple from my friend who goes there frequently. Also, Google News searches are your friend because most events will have press releases.

I got to meet James Kyson Lee this past Saturday at an event called Kollaboration. He was a guest judge and I got to take a pic with him and get his autograph! He didn't say too much, but he was very nice.

I was also able to do a meet/greet with Milo/Tim Sale (I know a few others on this forum were too) at a Golden Apple Comic event he was part of for his comic book Rest. That was a few months back.

I haven't had the chance to meet any of the cast yet, just talk through twitter etc. However I haven't heard a bad thing about any of the cast members from people who have met them. Every story is good, positive and that they are down to earth etc. I may have the chance to meet a cast member this summer that I am VERY excited about! wink.gif

I have to agree with Jen about Adrian Pasdar. I met him last year at Megacon in Orlando and he was the nicest celebrity I have ever met. He was great with all the fans, and my friend, who doesn't watch Heroes, was so impressed with Adrian that he was going to start watching the show. Adrian did an Q&A session and was funny, interesting, and articulate. Ten minutes of it are somewhere on You Tube. I only hope I get a chance to meet him again. I'd love to meet the other cast members, too. I need to see what the Heroes event that Jen mentioned is about, and where it is being held.

It's one of my many odd jobs. It's tuns of fun.

While trying to avoid posting the same in several threads, Greg Grunberg and Ashley Crow are coming to Eclipse 3, so I'll get to meet them in May. smile.gif
