Judy Greer

One of my favorite movies is "13 Going on 30". I'm trying to get who I can from the cast. When I found out Judy Greer was doing a play in New York I sent my letter off. The same friend who tried to get Cynthia's for me did get me Judy Greer's autograph while in New York. In person's are always enjoyable. Great success and addition to my small but growing cast autos from the movie.

Cynthia Nixon

When my sister first started bragging about "Sex and the City" I didn't think it would be all that. I didn't get all the "hype". I also didnt have HBO to check it out myself. I then thought I'd give them a try. I rented season by season from my libray. I was instantly hooked. I know everyone's favorite was "Carrie" but my favorite is actually Miranda. When I found out she was doing a play in New York I sent off a letter. I actually have a friend who went to New York recently but was not able to get Cynthia's for me as she was very busy. It's all good as I got my picture (bad quality not sure why I mailed it) back. She did inscribe and sign my photo and index card. She even topped it and included a COMPLETE signed Playbill signed by Tyne Daly, John Gallagher Jr., Mary Catherine Garrison, and John Slattery. Great success from a nice and talented actress.

David Gianopoulos

I LOVE the show "Queer as Folk" so trying to get who I can from the show. A friend gave me a successful addy for David Gianopoulos who plays Police Chief Stockwell. He sent me a great 8x10 photo inscribed and signed. He also jotted a quick note on the paper I provided. Great success and addition.

John C. McGinley

I have always loved the show "Scrubs". I have tried a few times in the past at getting John McGinley's autograph with no success. Well one finally came my way. He sent a "Scrubs" promo photo inscribed and signed. Great success!!

Arlen Escarpeta

I absolutely LOVED the show "American Dreams". I think Arlen did a great job playing the role of Sam Walker. I had previous seen a success or two from him so off went my request. Months later I thought I had found a new address and without checking my records off went the request. Turns out I used the same address twice. Today I got one of my requests back. I'm not sure which one though. He sent an 8x10 color photo inscribed and signed with a doodle of him, an index card inscribed and signed (with same head doodle), and he wrote me a short note on the tab paper provided apologizing for delay and telling me what he's been up to. Great success from a talented young actor.

Sean Faris

I've been a huge fan of Sean's ever since I saw the first episode of "Life as We Know It". When that show got cancelled early I saw that he had a new show coming out and I knew I had to see that one as well. When "Reunion" aired I was an instant fan. Not only did it have Sean but it had another of my favorites from another show....Will Estes of "American Dreams". That show got cancelled too so knew I had to find another addy. I found one and an email address. Emailed the agent and they said they'd pass it on. Got both of my pictures back inscribed and signed. Great success!!

William Mapother

I am a HUGE "Lost" junkie!!! William played everyone's favorite villianous Ethan. I sent out this request and asking him if there were any plans for him to be on any more shows this season. Low and behold the evening I mailed it was a new episode of "Lost" and he was on that episode! Very cool. He sent an 8x10 inscribed and signed.

Jessica Simpson

My mom is a HUGE fan of Jessica's and when all my friends were getting successes I thought I'd try to as well. I sent off four pictures (two with post it's with mine and my mom's name so that they could be inscribed). She signed all four (the two were inscribed), the index card and tab paper were also signed. I have scanned all my pictures but am only putting the one inscribed to me here.

Kristin Stewart

I'm also an avid watcher of Lifetime movies (yes I enjoy good chick flicks). When I saw "Speak" on tv I was amazed at this young girl's talent. I tracked down her addy from a friend (who got a success as well) and sent off a collage I made, tab paper, and index card. She returned all of them inscribed and signed. Great success from an up and coming actress.

Balthazar Getty

I have always really enjoyed his work so when a friend of mine reported a success from him I sent off a collage I made. He did inscribe and sign it as well as his own 8x10 "Alias" promo photo. He did not use the best marker to sign them though.

Cynthia Watros

My favorite show is "Lost" and I am trying to get as much of the cast as I can (all of them if I can help it). Sent off a collage I made. Did not recieve my picture back but her own 8x10 "Lost" promo photo signed. It's not an AP but it does not look like she used a Sharpie but more like a non permanent marker.

Erica Durance

I really like the show "Smallville" and I enjoy Erica Durance's character on the show. I sent her two printout pictures to the set of her current movie. She returned both of them inscribed and signed. Great success and addition to my "Smallville" group.

Sandra Oh

I absolutely LOVE "Grey's Anatomy" and I have just about written to everyone in the cast. Sandra Oh is the third one to come back to me. I love her character and she always cracks me up in every episode. I had sent her a collage I printed out but she sent back a better 8x10 b/w headshot photo with ISP. Great success!!

Diana DeGarmo

I was not an "American Idol" fan till Season Three. From the first audition Diana DeGarmo was my favorite to win. When I saw that she was doing a play on NYC I sent off my pictures I had of her. She inscribed and signed both of my pictures, her own 5x7 photo inscribed and signed, as well as an inscribed and signed Playbill. Great success from a talented young lady.

Thea Gill

I'm so excited over this one!! Finally after many attempts I finally have my Thea Gill. I had made her a collage of her and Michelle for her to sign but I think she liked it enough to keep it as it did not come back. She sent me a great 8x10 color headshot inscribed and signed. In her inscription she commented on my collage so I think she liked it enough to keep it. Great success to my QAF collection.

Shawn Pyfrom

Ever since his first episode of "Desperate Housewives" I've always thought Shawn Pyfrom was a talented and good looking young actor. After a friend got a success I tried him out. I sent him a letter and SASE. He sent me a great 8x10 photo inscribed and signed. Great success!!
