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 Carolina Ravassa
Carolina was very serious about her work. As a voice actrice she makes all the moves the character makes as wel. for example jumping up and down, running...

Q&A Jennifer Morrison
Jennifger talked about her experience in DR.House M.D., and much more about Once Upon A Time. Currently she has three projects she is looking at, but she can only chose one.



Q&A John Barrowman
John had prepared a nice show. He talked about his work, mainly Dr. Who and Torchwood. Whoever had a question he called up on stage to answer it.

Q&A Tom Felton
Tom spoke of course a lot about his work in the Harry Potter movies. But he is also a good musician. He sang (with his guitar) some songs for us.



Q&A David Tennant
David was only at the F.A.C.T.S. on Saterday. He spoke a lot about being Dr. Who, but also about his work in Harry Potter.
