Q&A
General remark about the Q&A reports: Some actors do not want to be filmed during a Q&A, pictures is OK. Some Actors come on stage. Visitors can take pictures for a few minutes and than have to stop using cameras. Some actors do not allow any filming or pictures of any kind. These rules apply for all conventions and they are respected by the visitors.
At conventions all actors talk about their work in the past, current and future. It is understandable they cannot speak about some future projects.
That is the reason we do not put all questions and answers here in this report. We respect the privacy of the actors/directors/producers who come to talk about their work.
We did not go to all Q&As. These are (very short) the ones we went to.
Q&A Brent Spiner
Brent was interactive, funny and pleasant. He was happy to come to Belgium and liked it very much.
Q&A Jared Gilmore
Jared is very popular with teenage girls. He started acting when he was 4 years old.
Q&A Karl Urban
Karl was a lot of fun. He told us the most pranks of all the guests. Karl gave away free tickets for his newest movie: Thor, Ragnarok.
Q&A Jenna Coleman
Most of this Q&A was done by an interviewer from Knack Focus Magazine, but there was also time for questions from the audiance. Most questions were about her work as Queen Victoria and of course Doctor Who.
Q&A Corin Nemec
Corin felt lucky he almost always had an acting job. But 100 auditions give 99 no and 1 yes...
