The actor doesn't like the role, but you want a picture?

Do I send one? I loved Frank Langella as Skeletor (among other things), but I know he's not particularly enamored of the Masters of the Universe movie. Do I send a photo from it anyway, explaining how much I adored him in the role, or do I go safer and send a Dracula picture instead?

I'd say send it. I know his policy is one signed photo per fan, per request. {up} I have him on a Superman Returns index card.

Thanks Ryan! The Skeletor postcard I found was only $4, so not a big loss if he tosses it.

Just send it and write how you are a big fan of all his films, then go into how you know he dosen't particualy enjoy the film as much as you did. Write another few lines about what he did that impressed you in the film. Follow that with a few questions why he didn't like the role because his acting is what brought the cast together and made the movie great. Then close it out requesting he sign the photo. Honesty is usually the best policy.

That's pretty amazing; I just wrote a first draft of my letter and it's almost exactly what you described! Thanks!

I'd just go for it. Even send two. I got Dracula & Superman photos signed.

Did you use the address that's currently in the database? I've found 3 different addys on the net and I'm unsure which to send to.
