Deep Space 2 members attended to the FACTS Fall 2019 Convention. Most went on Saterday, some went on Sunday, some went the entire weekend.

- there were large screen screenings, Q&A sessions, chill out zones, grime sessions, and so much more

Q&A
General remark about the Q&As: During this FACTS Con it was forbidden during all Q&As to take pictures or film. People who did, had a visit by security almost within a few seconds.
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 Christopher Lloyd
Christopher Lloyd talked about his work, most of all in "Back to the Future" and the "Adams Family".
At the end of his Q&A he did a "Great Scott" for us.
Q&A Christopher Lambert
Christopher Lambert talked about his work and future projects. He reminded us that living forever also means losing loved ones.
Q&A Kristofer Hivju
Kristofer Hivju talked about how he got his role in "Game of Thrones", what it was like to work in -30 degrees, and about his costume which weights 18 kilograms.

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 Tom Hopper
Tom talked about his work, especially "The Game of Thrones". Most of his future work he couldn't talk about. He could say he is in the "The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard" (2020) with Samuel L. Jackson and Morgan Freeman.
Q&A Jason Isaacs
Jason is one of those actors who do not want their picture taken or be filmed when they are on stage. That is respected. Jason talked mostly about Harry Potter and some about Star Trek Discovery.
Q&A Dolph Lundgren
Dolph liked working with Silvester Stalone a lot. But he also talked about sports.
Q&A Mads Mikkelsen
Mads talked about his work, but couldn't talk about future projects.
Q&A Shannen Doherty
Shannen talked about her work and about cancer and her charity: Stand Up To Cancer.
And last but not least...
The next F.A.C.T.S. (2019) will be the fall edition 19-20 October 2018, same place...
