He tends to sign only one photograph at a time.
It is a great success from a fantastic actor nonetheless
Thanks for letting me know. I didn't mean to sound greedy. I was just a little upset that my second photo wasn't sent back.
Please don't misunderstand, I don't think you're greedy at all

I wanted one for me and one for my friends, so when I first sent I sent 2 photographs. He only signed the one for my friends, so I sent to him again. This time with just one photograph.
To get it personalised, you could either ask in your LOR (I'm not sure if you did) or attach a post-it note to the back of the photograph asking if they would personalise it to you. If normally works for me
