What's wrong with just saying exactly why you're writing to them?

"I loved you in Bambi."

Or, if that seems a little too...whatever for you:

"I'm sure you've done some impressive work, but honestly, I'm writing to you purely because I saw you in Bambi. Not to diminish your other work or anything, but I really liked you in Bambi."

If you've never seen him in anything else, why mention it? He knows he was in Bambi, you know he was in Bambi, you're writing because of Bambi, so just talk about Bambi.

From where I stand, you completely deserved that, what you refer to as an "unappreciative comment".

Either way... I still don't think it was that big of a deal....

Another thing is that we never REALLY know how many films people have been in.... Recently you had Foster say she was in 20 other films that she wasn't credited for..... I actually had a person thank me for talking about their uncredited films

Ha. I just said that, pretty much :lol:

[quote="boelcc"][b][color=#0000FF]Well, I have to say, I don't really feel sorry for you. It was actually "rude" to write a letter to someone without being certain of what they are notable for. Autograph collectors do this all of the time just trying do get a quick autograph, or in your case multiple autographs without giving a thought to the fact that the people we are writing to are human beings and they [i]DO[/i] sometimes read our letters. I think his comment was justifiable, and you should at least "do your homework" before you write to someone. He is known for Bambi, nothing else really, so your fan letters should reflect this. I used to collect blindly when I first started, but I never write to anyone unless I am fully aware of their works and only if I am actually a fan. Sorry if this upsets you, but someone had to say it.[/color][/b][/quote]

The OP did know that he was only notable for Bambi. If you look a few posts up, he said [i]"Because I didn't want to be rude saying that he is only notable for one film.... That was his Career. Career= Bambi"[/i]

But, I don't think it would have been rude to acknowledge that he only worked on Bambi. Obviously Peter knows this. You are still a fan, and I am sure he appreciates it.

Also, I just want to point out, unless you count an episode of The View and a documentary about the Making of Bambi, he was only in ONE film. I don't think he'd mind being told that, as I'm sure he already knows.

He's still right. "[g]reat compilation of works..."? Come on.

That actually sounds kind of "form letter"'ish to me.

There's also a chance that he read it sarcastically.

Well he didn't have to be rude about it, either. Jeez.
