I got to shake hands with Aaron Ashmore (aka Jimmy Olsen from Smallville, as well as work from Jett Jackson and Are You Afraid of the Dark) back at Anime North in May.
He was working on a TV Miniseries called 'Fanboy Confessional' as the Narrator, and they were in between scenes when one of my panels ended. I walked out into the hallway, AND THERE HE WAS. I totally did a double-take. XD I couldn't resist a quick "Hi Aaron, I know you're busy, but I wanted to say I love your work." He thanked me and shook my hand and asked what my name was.
It was a whole 10 seconds of interaction, but it had me silently squeeing all day long.
And yes, he's at least 20% hotter in real life. Them Ashmore brothers, HNNNNNNG. <3
Kinda makes me wish I WASN'T cosplaying as Checkmate at the time, but oh well. It was a con, I took what I could get. XD;;
I've also spoken with a few anime/cartoon voice actors, such as Scott McNeil and Vic Mignoga in Fan Meet n' Greets at conventions, but that one was a little different...
