I survived. Actually did surprisingly well.

A tidbit for the West Wingers.

One of the guests was Tony Amendola. As well as his recurring role on SG1, he has guest starred in a multitude of tv shows. Including West Wing - "Game On" as Qumari U.N. Ambassador Ali Nissir. I asked him out of the guest roles he's done, were there any that particularly stood out or that he really wanted. I got the answer I'd been hoping for.

He said West Wing. Every actor wanted to do it and he would've been so disappointed if he hadn't been able to. And he got to work with John Spencer, the day after John's Emmy win. He praised him and said that John Spencer was the person character actors looked up to. He said he told John things along those lines, and John was telling him to stop it and brushing it off (he did a good imitation of John). Tony said there were two people he'd wanted to work with, John and Hector Elizondo, and he got to work with both. His respect for John was very touching.

When I got my autograph signed, I thanked Tony for sharing that story.

Oh, and his other favourite guest star role was on Angel which he said was a lot of fun.

What a sweet story. I'm so glad it went better than you'd feared.

There were moments, but overall I'm very relieved. And I paid a small fortune for an autographed Kate Mulgrew photo as a reward :)

Good for you, Sweetie!

And good for John too.

Thank you, Hon.

And it was so lovely to hear. And Tony is a lovely man.

Aww, that's such a sweet story. (And that's one of my favorite episodes, partly for him, actually.)

I felt like hugging Tony, but he shook my hand (both he and David were lovely with shaking everyone's hand in the autograph line).

It was a struggle at times, but it's the best I've done in quite a while.

Yay! Glad you went and made it through. And yeah, Tony's a very cool guy. :)

He so impressed me, he's up there with Casey Biggs as the best guests ever (it's funny how I seem to enjoy the "smaller" people more).

And I made it!

Yay you survived it :) That is a very touching story - makes me want to go and pull out old WW episodes actually.

The way he talked about John was lovely and so heart felt.

And survival is good!

*squee*

That's so awesome.

Tony is a lovely lovely man.

I was SO impressed by him. I'm not a big SG1 watcher, so I only know his character vaguely, but I know him from all the shows he pops up on.

And he (and David) shook everyone's hand in the autograph line, and he just seemed so genuine.
