So I met Leigh Whannell again last Friday
I can not stress enough what an absolute sweetheart this man is. He spent the whole con giving out hugs to everyone- to people at his table, the photo ops, and he jumped off stage and hugged a guy at the panel who got a little emotional when he talked about how the Saw movies saved his life, (That’s the hug he’s referring to in this clip). When I mentioned that I’d met him in September and he’d signed my leg for a tattoo, he was like, “Oh shit, in Cincinnati??” and he remembered!! He took a little video of it on his phone and when I took out the above photo from the photo op of us with the shirt he signed, he was like, “oh this is that fanfiction thing!” It totally skipped my mind to mention that I was able to have Cary Elwes sign it, too, but I did show him the Saw cake my boyfriend got for me for my birthday and he took a picture of it! (I also was wearing the replica of Adam's key and showed it to him)
He also fucking LIT UP when I told him I love The Mule! He said I was the first person who'd picked that print that weekend and talked about how much he enjoyed shooting that movie.
If you ever have the chance to go to a convention and meet him, you absolutely must. I’m crossing my fingers and toes that he’ll be going to the one my bf and I are going to in October with a friend of ours so she can meet him, too, cuz she didn't get to at HorrorHound Weekend
Yes, that’s a card of Adam from Saw the Musical lol
Speaking of an absolute must meet and greet, you HAVE TO meet Dina Meyer, aka Detective Allison Kerry in Saw 1-3. She is so fucking sweet!!! Like!!! And her line was so much shorter than Leigh’s, Shawnee’s, or Tobin’s and it’s an absolute CRIME!! Right up there with Leigh Whannell, Nick Castle, Brent Spiner and Bob West for favorite con meeting experiences. I told her she could sign the tape wherever she wanted, and her and my boyfriend picked the pen color together
I forgot to ask her when she think's Kerry's birthday is, so fingers crossed I'll have the opportunity again to ask her someday
