Ring*Con 2012: Craig Parker – Lord of the Rings, Spartacus

Unread post by steinchen »

Last weekend was Ring*Con, Europe's biggest fantasy convention which takes place in Bonn, Germany.
This was my 4th Ring*Con and it was just amazing! I met a lot of actors, authors and, of course, fans :)

On saturday I met Craig Parker who plays Haldir in Lord of the Rings, Darken Rahl in Legend of the Seeker and he is Glaber in Spartacus which is one of my favourite series!
Craig is one of the regular guests of Ring*Con. He is almost every year there.

He was the one in the autograph session which the people were queuing for the most! I got his autograph from him at a Spartacus promo picture. He was sitting at his desk and seemed to be totally relaxed although it was almost the end of the session (which takes 3 hours).
I shoke his hand and told him that I am a big Spartacus fan. Then he looked at me and asked: "How old are you?" (because Spartacus is known for is brutality and... well, for his scenes for adults ;) ) Me: "23." Craig: "Ah, that's okay."

He even posed for a picture with me which was taken by a friend of mine. Sigh, Craig is so charming and nice and his panels with the other LotR actors are the funniest of all! Hope to see him again at the next Ring*Con :)



Here are the pictures:

(He signed with gold sharpie. If you can't read it, he wrote: "Dear Karin, lots of love, Craig Parker". I paid for autograph and photo.)

Congratulations! Craig is the most good looking guy in Spartacus :D

I didn't know Germany has this kind of promotional event for movies etc, I'm so excited to go over there for an exchange! Ich lerne Deutsch für 6 Monate aber mein deutsch ist nicht gut :cry:

I'm writing a letter to Anette Louisan in Germany as well.

Anyway, congrats!

Ich bin so stolz auf mich, weil ich viel Deutsch gelernt habe.
