Oren Dayan

04.12.10 – 21.01.12

Oren Dayan (Karif Yasin / NCIS)

2/2 photos signed and personalized

*giggle* First, I have to admit, I didn’t expect to get a reply anymore. But when I did today, I burst out laughing about the hilarious note on the back of the photo. Since I got various autographs on the back of the photo, I pretty much always put a post-it note on the back, to sign on the other side, which is, of course weird, because the majority of people does understand the purpose of a sent photo. But this is the first actual reaction to my note, and I think it’s awesome and hilarious. Also the inscription is very sweet, definitively one of my favourites =)

Oren played a guest role in the episodes Enemies Foreign and Domestic in NCIS, Karif Yasin one of the three people who tried to kill Eli David, but obviously failed. Karif Yasin got arrested and interrogated. That interrogation scene was a very strong performance from Oren, that’s why I decided to write him.

I added the full scans to the NCIS section.

Ben Daniels

29.12.11 – 19.01.12

Ben Daniels (Tristan / Merlin)

2/2 photos signed and personalized

Hurrah! I got another autograph today for my Merlin collection, from Ben Daniels, who plays the (probably future knight) Tristan in the last two episodes of season 4. I liked how Tristan and Isolde first opposed the king, first not knowing, then knowing who he was. T. & I. the smugglers, that’s a very interesting approach Anyways, the chemistry between them was awesome – and the season finale really heartbreaking[mark to read spoiler]. I’m looking forward to the next season now, and to seeing how Tristan handles his loss [mark to read spoiler].

Thanks @ Ben Daniels!

I added the full scans to the Merlin section (other TV shows -> Merlin).

Pauley Perrette

12.05.10? – 09.01.12

Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto / NCIS)

2/2 photos signed and personalized

Wohooo! That came out of the left field. I found the envelope in a box on my desk (instead of on my desk itself with the other 3 autographs), apparently my mother put it there. Postmarked January 5, so it must have arrived at Jan. 9 or something. I have no idea which of my dozen requests led to this success, the mentioned date is only a guess… the most recent one I think.

I love it! I gave up on getting my photos signed after I got her signature on a promo photo – which was of course great, but I rather have autographs on photos that I choose, so getting those two back signed is soooo awesome! *dances*

I added the full scans to the NCIS section.

Daniel Dae Kim

12.10.11 – 14.01.12

Daniel Dae Kim (Chin Ho Kelly / Hawaii Five-0)

3/3 signed, 1 personalized

Yes! So at least half of my letters to the main cast arrived before the address became invalid. I love Hawaii Five-0, it has indeed managed to snatch the 2nd place of my favourite shows from NCISLA (and it’s gnawing at NCIS too). I love the entire main team of season 1 – not so sure about Lori yet – so I’m very happy to be able to add his autograph to my collection.

I only hope that there will be another working address for the show soon, I need to write to Mark Dacascos again (got an RTS), before they kill off Wo Fat. ;D

Added the full scans to the H50 section (Other TV shows -> Hawaii Five-0).

Ciarán Hinds

29.12.11 – 14.01.12

Ciarán Hinds (Aberforth Dumbledore / HP & Firmin / Phantom of the Opera)

3/3 photos signed, 2 of them personalized

Yup, 3 photos… but the signature on the third is almost not visible on the scan (on the photo itself it’s better), so I didn’t upload it. I wanted to write to him for quite some time, but only when I was writing the letter, I realized – or rather read on imdb – that he played Firmin in the Phantom of the Opera. I don’t know why, but I would NEVER noticed that, although he has a recognizable face and I’ve watched PhotO so many times. Now that I know it, it’s clear and obvious Well, that was a pleasant surprise, and I added a PhotO picture to the two I had printed out earlier. He signed all three, yay. Btw. funny thing is: as a reward for my finished thesis I bought a couple of DVDs… the Nativity Story knowing that he was part of the cast, but then I looked at the other DVD just now. Guess who’s part of the “Amazing Grace” cast. Yup.

Added the Aberforth-autograph to the HP section (other movies -> HP) and the Nativity Story and the PhotO autograph to the Other movies section.

Richard Armitage

27.12.11 – 14.01.12

Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield / Hobbit)

3/3 photos signed

As you can see, you see (almost) nothing Mr. Armitage doesn’t seem to own a good pen Just kidding. Although I had to start a search operation to find the signature on all three photos (looking at them for the first time I thought they were unsigned), I’m very glad to have gotten those autographs. Mr. Armitage on Hobbit pictures. Yay!

I added the full scans of the photos to the Hobbit section (LotR -> Hobbit). If you want to see them, just ask for the password via email or by commenting.

Richard Armitage

23.06.11 – 30.12.11

Richard Armitage (Thorin Oakenshield / Hobbit)

2/2 photos signed

This autograph actually made me jump… I did not expect to get those photos back – that’s why I sent out another request 3 days ago But I don’t regret not having been more patient, because the photos I sent out 6 months ago, weren’t photos from the Hobbit (the promo photos weren’t yet released back then), and 3 days ago I sent photos from the Hobbit. I hope I got those signed, too, BUT I’m totally happy about today’s autograph!

After having seen the trailer I’m even more excited and I loooooooove to have the mighy Thorin Oakenshield in my collection

I added the full scans of the photos to the Hobbit section (LotR -> Hobbit). If you want to see them, just ask for the password; I don’t bite

Arben Bajraktaraj

? – 30.12.11

Arben Bajraktaraj (Antonin Dolohov / HP)

 

2/2 photos signed and personalized

Uhm, apparently I didn’t write down when I sent off the letter to him, but it can’t have been that long ago, I guess early December. The scan’s a bit dark, the signature on the 2nd pic is more visible on the actual photo. Thanks a lot, Arben

Added the full scans to the HP section (other movies -> Harry Potter).

Hugo Weaving

06.09.11 – 21.12.11

Hugo Weaving (Elrond / LotR)

1/2 photos signed

Wooooohoooo! I can’t believe it! I didn’t expect this back anymore because I thought it was a closed set… SO glad that I wrote to him! He just moved to my Nr. 1 spot on the Most Wanted autographs list for 2012…

I guess I can scratch that now Well, there are enough names left that seem impossible to get. Awesome. I consider that an amazing christmas present I didn’t even think that it could be his autograph when I saw that 8×10 envelope with stamps from Germany. Just was like “huh? Who could that be? To whom did you send a large photo?” And that squealed (yes, this time I actually squealed aloud) Yay!!!

I added one full scan to the Lord of the Rings section.

Christian Camargo

07.12.11 – 20.12.11

Christian Camargo (Rudy / Dexter & Eleazar / Twilight)

2/2 photos signed and personalized

Yay! Okay, don’t have much time to write, but I’m more than happy to get his autograph. I adored him in Dexter as this archenemy in season 1 and he’s definitely very handsome with that arrogant look in Breaking Dawn. Great pre-Christmas gift!

I added one full scan to the Twilight section (other movies -> Twilight), one to the other TV shows (although the photo isn’t from Dexter). If you want to see them, just ask for the password; I don’t bite.

Jackson Rathbone

06.12.11 – 12.12.11

Jackson Rathbone (Jasper / Twilight)

3/3 photos signed, 2 of them personalized

Awww, such a fast success and sweet dedications (the second says “Dearest Nele – much love”). I already had his autograph but since there were more good photos, so an opportunity like this came along just at the right moment. Nicole brought to my attention that he is / was touring through Germany and I decided to give it a try via one of the locations he and the 100 Monkeys played. I adore him in the Twilight saga, especially in Eclipse, and I plan to watch the Last Airbender soon. Really. I will! Eventually.

I added the full scans to the Twilight section (other movies -> Twilight). If you want to see them, just ask; I don’t bite.

Matthew Willig

22.08.11 – 05.12.11

Matthew Willig (Special Agent Simon Cade / NCIS)

3/3 photos signed, 2 of them personalized

Yaaaay!! My letter finally got through I immediately liked the “new” NCIS team and I would have loved to see them in action together in a spin-off – of course now 2/3 third of them are dead and the last one’s gone MIA   Too bad that the writers always waste interesting guest roles like that.

I’m so glad that I got this autograph, which means the team’s represented completely in my collection (although I cheated by taking one of Alimi Ballard’s autographs from the Numb3rs section and putting it in the NCIS collection ;D). Now I’m thinking about if I should send the third autograph to Sarah Jane – haven’t seen any TTM autograph from Alimi since Numb3rs, so I wouldn’t risk to send it to him – … but atm it feels like 1/2 of my letters get lost, so I don’t know if I wanna risk it anyway. Hmmm…. I’ll think about it.

Thank you very much @Matthew!

I added the full scans to the NCIS section.

Viggo Mortensen

06.11.11 – 24.11.11

Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn / LotR & Frank Hopkins / Hidalgo)

2/2 photos signed and personalized

Squeeeeeee! After the disappointment of the last “success” – Rachelle Lefevre’s autograph probably being a secretarial – I soundlessly squealed when I saw this envelope; I had added a C6/C5 envelope since I had run out of my usual C6 envelopes, so I immediately recognized it, plus, it was the only recent one with spanish stamps. Although two fellow collectors had already gotten their pictures back signed, I was so anxious… what if he hadn’t signed my pictures… Ripped the envelope open and then squealed even louder (still soundless, but… you get it. ).

When the movies came out, I didn’t really like Aragorn (though it’s not Viggo’s fault, he did a great job, I just didn’t fancy the role – now Aragorn still isn’t my favourite in the movies, but I appreciate the acting even more); then in Hidalgo, he was amazing! I’m soooo glad to be able to add his autograph to my collection! <3

I added one full scan (of the LotR pic) to the Lord of the Rings section, and other one (photo from Hidalgo) to “Other movies”.

Rachelle Lefevre

30.04.2009 (!) – 22.11.2011

Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria / Twilight)

2/2 photos signed, one of them personalized

That was one long wait. I already had printed out photos for a new request a few weeks ago, but due to my lack of time, I only sent one letter out since mid October and not to her. It’s great to have gotten this autograph after all this time. For me, she’s still *the* Victoria.

Of course I didn’t expect it anymore. Nice – at least if it’s authentic…

Not so sure about that… I fear it’s a sec.

Still, I added the full scans to the Twilight section (other movies -> Twilight)… will replace them if I get a definitively authentic one.

Angel Coulby

15.09.11 – 16.11.11

Angel Coulby (Gwen / Merlin)

2/2 photos signed and personalized

Awwww, it feels so good to see a small envelope (which doesn’t has an RTS stamp/note on it) in the mailbox. I knew it had to be either Angel Coulby or Eoin Macken, when I saw the envelope, because of the stamp which was part of a 4-stamp-picture and three of them I used for the Merlin actors. For whatever reasons I hadn’t sent a request to Angel before, although I liked her role from the very beginning. I love the way Gwen developed!

Very very glad about this autograph!

edit: oh… actually I had sent her before, in November 2010! Oh well, even better that this time it worked

I already added the full scans to the Merlin section (other TV shows -> Merlin).
