Have you ever met any Star Trek actors/actresses?

I "met" Mark Lenard circa 1986 at a local science fiction convention in New Brunswick, NJ. I used quotes because I really just got his autograph and did not have a chance to chat with him (other than to say "thank you"). However I was able to tell a lot about the man from my encounter, as the person on line in front of me asked him to pose for a photo by giving the Vulcan salute at the autograph table, which Mr. Lenard seemed happy to comply with. The fellow in front of me then asked him to take off his glasses (presumably because a Vulcan would not need any), and after the briefest of pauses, he once again complied. I felt the request to remove his glasses to be a bit crass; if Mr. Lenard felt similarly, he showed no indication.

She was actually at the Star Trek Online booth on Saturday, signing autographs for free. I saw her but didn't manage to get her Hancock before she left.
oh man! I saw her walking around and was looking for her. I had my TNG cast poster with me that needed her autograph LOL
She showed up for a little while at the STO booth in the venders' area. I think it was a quick thing, because an assistant said to me, "okay YOU are last," but she kept relenting and making people's days.
To be utterly honest, having seen all the celeb panels at Mission NY, that's the more significant experience. So you didn't get to have a moment and get an autograph. I have his autograph, big deal. Instead you got to see him doing something which is probably more enjoyable for him anyway. I LOVED the panels, and can now walk away saying I saw Frakes do the Riker Maneuver onstage and Kate Mulgrew basically roast Brannon Braga to his face.
I am SO mad I coudn't make it on Sunday for the Voyager panel. I'm hoping someone was able to film it.
I'm frustrated I missed the TNG and the VOY panel. TNG was packed so much they turned people away, and the VOY panel I missed because I was getting a photo op with William Shatner. I did catch the DS9 and ENT panels though and those were excellent. The ENT guys were so funny.
This was the first con I've been to that didn't have assigned seating. I barely made it to the TNG panel because Frakes was late to his autograph line. I couldn't go to the con at all on Sunday because of a family wedding.
Funny, and I was just saying to someone how this was a big improvement over the last con I attended because people were allowed in even after the panels started. I guess that wasn't the case for all of them. well, especially the last day, where they basically trapped us in there all day if we wanted to see anything.
Spoke with Susie Plakson for a while at a Creation Con. Utterly delightful person. She was pleased that I wanted to talk about Love and War rather than Trek.
Talked to Pat Tallman at a Chiller Con - also a total sweetie. Told her our household expression for whenever we saw her doing a stunt in a film or a trek show: "There goes Pat!"

Oh yeah, my gf and I got to the Walter Koenig panel 45 minutes early and just stayed there all through Koenig (who was lovely) because we know absolutely nobody was going to leave their seat before Shatner came on, and we'd have no way back in. It was worth it. Shatner's show (not really a panel) was really entertaining. I had a great time.
I was at that event too! Ah the days when we thought Stargazer Conventions were con artists.
I had a decent chat with Aron Eisenberg, Natalia Nogulich, Garrett Wang, and Chase Masterson at Star Trek Las Vegas in august. I loved talking with Eisenberg.
a couple of weeks ago at a convention I was able to chat with Garret Wang at his table when he didn't have a line. Very nice and funny guy
That's the good stuff: in the 90s the B5 cast were very good that way - Stephen Furst just pulling up a chair and signing stuff for free in a corridor, while Boxleitner shouted "Oh, here's the Nightwatch!" as a warning in the dealers' room when the WB reps walked in, looking for unlicensed merchandise.
Ooh, I bet that was fun! What did she do?
