Q&A
We did not go to all Q&As These are (very short) the ones we went to.
Q&A Peter Mayhew
Peter Mayhew is best known for his role in Star Wars as Chewbacca. Of course he was not allowed to say anything about Star Wars VII, the new Star Wars movie.
Peter was asked a lot about his carreer in general.
Q&A John Rhys-Davies
John made a lot of jokes during his Q&A. He had to answer a lot of questions about all of his work (mostley James Bond, Indiana Jones, Sliders, Lord of the Rings). While answering he imitated a dwarf sometimes, which was fabulous.
Q&A Ernie Hudson
Ernie was asked a lot about Ghostbusters and the new Ghostbusters movie.
Q&A Christopher Lloyd
Christopher was asked a lot about Back to the Future, but also about other work.
One last thing. The F.A.C.T.S. 2016 will be held on October 22-23, 2016, same place...
