March 29, 2012 Foedhrass 03/12 - March 2012, Movies, Successes 2012	autograph, autographs, Freddie Fox, King Louis XIII of France, Three Musketeers
Freddie Fox (King Louis XIII of France / The Three Musketeers)
2/2 photos signed and personalized
Okay, this must be my fastest success ever (at least of the internationally sent letters). I liked his performance as this naive, clumsy young king in The Three Musketeers. Every scene with him was so funny – it's a pity that the reviews weren't that good for this movie and that there probably won't be a sequel; I would have liked to see things change, as he said in the end of the film.
But I had to write to him for this performance 🙂
I added the full scans to the Other Movies section.
March 23, 2012 Foedhrass 03/12 - March 2012, NCIS / NCIS: LA, Successes 2012, TV Shows	autograph, autographs, Daniel Gillies, Elijah, NCIS, Peter Malloy, The Vampire Diaries
Daniel Gillies (Major Peter Malloy / NCIS)
2/2 photos signed, + a nice note
Right now I stopped jumping through my room, but I'm still over the moon. I loved Daniel's performance in the NCIS episode "Royals and Loyals" so much, I guess I totally fell for his accent and the charming behaviour 😀 Since then I was so eager to get his autograph, but except via a convention it seemed impossible. He moved higher on my most wanted list – and now this. *squeeeeeeeeeal*
I love these autographs, I love this note (and that heart on the photo <3) … he seems to be such a nice guy! And so handsome 😀 Okay, I really should switch on my brain again, but I'm way too excited about this autograph ❤ ❤ ❤
Btw… I don't watch The Vampire Diaries (yet) but since it's very possible that I'll do one day and since I liked the photo, I did send a TVD photo too.
Gonna shut up now, because I'm way too cheerful to write something reasonable 😀
I added one full scan to the NCIS section, the other one to Other TV shows.
Damien Molony
March 22, 2012 March 22, 2012 Foedhrass 03/12 - March 2012, Successes 2012, TV Shows	autograph, autographs, Being Human, Damien Molony, Hal
Damien Molony (Hal / Being Human)
2/2 photos signed, wrote a nice note (posted only the signature, not the note)
After the season 3 finale of Being Human I really wasn't sure if I'd continue to like the show, because Mitchell was my favourite character, but since George was still there and he was closely following second favourite, I decided to keep watching. Yeah well… until I learned that George would die too, in the season premiere 😀 Still, I was curious and was willing to give the new characters a chance, watched the 2nd episode – and immediately fell in love with Hal 😀
Hal and Tom make such a hilarious "couple". Their relationship is so direct and I like that they butt heads quite often. The season got better and better with each episode. And I CAN'T wait to see the season finale, after this penultimate episode! I really hope both survive the finale and that there will be a 5th season, with both of them of course!. Until then, I'm very happy about these autographs and especially about the kind note.
Thank you so much, Damien!

March 21, 2012 Foedhrass 03/12 - March 2012, Movies, Successes 2012	300, autograph, autographs, Eric Lehnsherr, Magneto, Michael Fassbender, Stelios, X-Men: First Class
Michael Fassbender (Magneto / X-Men: First Class; Stelios / 300)
3/3 photos signed, one of them personalized.
Woooho! I literally jumped when I opened that envelope. I had thought about sending Mr. Fassbender a letter since I saw him in 300, but didn't – but after seeing X-Men: First Class, in my opinion the best X-Men movie so far, I just had to! I mean, I didn't expect much from the movie after the Wolverine prequel, and because I had gotten used to Ian McKellen's and Patrick Stewart's faces as Magneto and Prof. X, that I seriously doubted that I would like the movie. I was so wrong! Fassbender and McAvoy are just brilliant together and I really really hope they'll do a sequel to First Class.
But til then… I have those very nice autographs to delight in – the decications are marvelous. To write "peace" on the photo of a character for whom "peace was never an option", is hilarious and cute 😀
March 17, 2012 Foedhrass 03/12 - March 2012, Harry Potter, Movies, Successes 2012	Anonymous, autograph, autographs, Harry Potter, Rhys Ifans, Xenophilius Lovegood
Rhys Ifans (Xenophilius Lovegood / HP)
2/2 photos signed
This one, on the other hand, was a very quick success and I'm also glad about it, because I had already tried to get his autograph during the filming of Anonymous, but without success. In my opinion he's the perfect cast for Xenophilius in HP; pity that his role was only so small.
I'm looking forward to watch Anonymous now, as soon as I get it on DVD or BD. I really like the photo he signed.
Added one full scan to the HP section (other movies -> Harry Potter), the other one, from Anonymous, to the Other movies section.
Liane Balaban
March 17, 2012 June 8, 2013 Foedhrass 03/12 - March 2012, NCIS / NCIS: LA, Successes 2012, TV Shows	autograph, autographs, Black Widow, Emma Mastin, Liane Balaban, NCIS: Los Angeles, Numb3rs
Liane Balaban (Emma Mastin – NCIS: Los Angeles)
2/2 photos signed, both personalized, one with a spelling mistake though.
Wow, that's the third success this year for a letter from 2010. Good to know that there's still a small chance, despite the postage raises. I didn't expect to get that one back, and – don't take me wrong – I'm very glad that I got those autographs, but I now wish I had sent different photos. I don't even know why I send the second one, when I already had a nice screenshot of her actual role in NCIS:LA. Too bad that the spelling mistake in the dedication is on the photo I like better.
Oh well, it's a beginning 😀 Maybe if I win the lottery one day or have a spare canadian stamp, I send another request with the NCISLA photo *makes a note that she has to look for a photo from her role in Numb3rs too, that would be killing two birds with one stone (or rather two flies, I don't wanna kill any birds ;D)
I added the full scans to the NCIS section.
March 16, 2012 Foedhrass 03/12 - March 2012, Hawaii Five-0, Movies, Successes 2012, TV Shows, Twilight	autograph, autographs, Breaking Dawn, Hawaii Five-0, Ho'apono, Lily Wilson, Mackenzie Foy, Renesmee, Twilight
Mackenzie Foy (Renesmee / Twilight & Lily Wilson / Hawaii Five-0)
I usually don't write to child actors, but I really enjoyed her performance in the Hawaii Five-0 episode Ho'apono where she played Lily, the daughter of a Navy Seal who holds a few tourists hostage after being accused of having murdered his wife – and in that situation Lily gets abducted. Mackenzie did a great job in that episode. And I also enjoyed her very short appearance in Breaking Dawn – I'm looking forward to her part in the second movie.
I added one full scan to the H50 section (Other TV shows -> Hawaii Five-0) and the other one to the Twilight section (Other movies -> Twilight).
Nathaniel Parker
March 10, 2012 March 10, 2012 Foedhrass 03/12 - March 2012, Merlin, Movies, Successes 2012, TV Shows	Agravaine, autograph, autographs, Caspian, Dawn Treader, Merlin, Narnia, Nathaniel Parker
Nathaniel Parker (Agravaine / Merlin & King Caspian IX / Narnia)
Woooohoo! After a dryspell of one month, I got a new autograph today, on my birthday. Perfect timing to end that dry spell!
I wanted to obtain Mr. Parker's autograph since I saw him in the british series Merlin, as Arthur's sinister uncle Agravaine. I only realized later that he also appeared (for 5 seconds or so) in the 3rd Narnia movie, as Caspian's father – obviously as in Caspian's imagination while opposing the green mist.
It's a pity that Agravaine's storyline ended that way, I liked his subtle wickedness (and Arthur's complete ignorance regarding his trusted advisor). However. I'm really glad that I got his autograph now and today 🙂
I added one full scan to the Merlin section (other TV shows -> Merlin), the other to the Narnia section (other movies -> Chronicles of Narnia).
