Too bad you didn't get the bluray signed, but after hearing that he doesn't like to sign it you're better off. <br /><br />Ps. I love your blog and look forward to the different segments you post.

Now, considering all the William Shatner has done since the original Star Trek, do you think he wouldn't sign memorabilia? He's an actor that was lucky or fortunate enough to get a gig that gives him the opportunity to do the comedy thing he does now. I can understand him wanting to put that in the past and let it die, but if the public wants it and frankly that is who is buying the memorabilia and tickets to his concerts, who is he to say I won't sign BTTF? It's not like someone asked him to sign a body part. The roles when they started put them on the map. They should be glad someone remembers them from those roles.<br /><br />Finally, I say the above to say I think that actors shouldn't have a private life and shouldn't be able to move on to different roles. I believe both of these things.Bronzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394060726230133947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777138367337489824.post-66712451916203933122011-01-30T16:14:22.427-05:002011-01-30T16:14:22.427-05:00Okay, so I am dating myself: while playing volleyb...Okay, so I am dating myself: while playing volleyball on a cruise ship with Tony Dow ("Wally" from "Leave it to Beaver") and Paul Peterson (from "The Donna Reed Show")a couple of years ago I asked Mr. Dow if I could take a picture of him with my husband "because his name is Wally, too!" Afterwards I discovered that Tony would prefer to be known for his work behind the scenes of "Babylon 5" but he was totally cool about acknowledging his roots, even in scheduled actor discussions (which was why these guys were on the ship)Mr. Peterson was completely bitter and I have disliked him ever since. So, my answer is: actors have fans for many reasons/roles and they should indulge all of them! (Come to think of it, I am also the person who told Tony Shalhoub aka MONK: "I loved you in 'Galaxy Quest'!" after a Broadway performance of "Lend Me a Tenor.")Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12184192389164781954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777138367337489824.post-15329549329165110992011-01-30T02:08:29.392-05:002011-01-30T02:08:29.392-05:00He needs to sign the memorabilia.

As you stated, some wouldn't have come to the show if the BTTF connection wasn't there. I think the chick that played Nellie on Little House has done an awful job of expressing her bitterness about being tied to that character. She should work it for what it's worth. I suppose it doesn't feel like a lot if some of said memorabilia ends up on Ebay, but get over it. It's not the actors' job to change public perception. That's what agents, managers and pr peeps are for. Tom Wilson should get a good team, let them work it out and sign things in the meantime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777138367337489824.post-82484831162214443372011-01-29T22:38:59.852-05:002011-01-29T22:38:59.852-05:00In my opinion, if he's signing other stuff, he...In my opinion, if he's signing other stuff, he should sign Back to the Future memorabilia, too. I'm sure it's a drag to be a celebrity sometimes, but your fans are your bread and butter and you should be nice to ALL of them, especially those from way back. It's just bad business, and disrespectful, to turn anyone away. I've never met a celebrity, but if I did I'd remember how they treated me long, long after they forgot (five seconds later) that I ever existed.Nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286538771642246720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777138367337489824.post-35069808404106206492011-01-29T12:15:25.023-05:002011-01-29T12:15:25.023-05:00very good question! it sounds like wilson did it t...very good question! it sounds like wilson did it the best way you can hope for: address the biff identity head-on to please the fans and then do his own thing. if he just ignored it existed altogether, that would be obnoxious. but if he just always did an hourlong biff routine every day of his life, he'd probably be miserable and bored. this way, everybody's happy. well played, biff! :)Suzeq56https://www.blogger.com/profile/04029709050176427041noreply@blogger.com
