Fan Expo Chicago always has a large celebrity guest lineup. This year, as soon as I saw Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt were coming, I set my sights on meeting them.
Both have had great careers on television and in movies, but my favorite role was pairing them on Mad About You. Ordinarily I prefer solo shots with celebrities, but in this case, I wanted both together and was happy when I saw they were doing a joint photo op. '
The time to chat during photo ops is minimal. At best, you hope for an exchange of pleasantries. I am happy to report both Reiser and Hunt were very nice, asking our names and thanking us for coming. It doesn't seem like much, but when they have hundreds of photos to take in a short time span, that is about as good as it gets. If you want more time to chat, it is best to go to their booth for an autograph. Even there, time is obviously limited, but at least you get a couple minutes.
I did not get their autographs, because we left after this photo op, but I hope to get them to sign the picture in the future. Then do I get Tony to sign it, too? LOL.
Thank you to the fine folks at Fan Expo for the hospitality. Go to fanexpohq.com for more info on future shows.
