I am going to stop soon, I promise!
But, uh, yeah.
Callum Keith Rennie is a bit of an enigma. When he sat down at our table at the meet and greet and shock my hand I was surprised, it was kinda limp. He plays such strong, fierce characters, I was expecting similar from him himself. But he was clearly nervous, this was his first fan event of any kind, and a bit reticent. A German girl at our table at the m&g was clearly crazy about him and practically stalked him all weekend. We saw them sitting and talking on Saturday afternoon with her hand on his leg, and then on Saturday night he was at the party but she was monopolizing him and he didn't seem to mind one bit. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she went home with him that night. He was also the least comfortable of the guests with the "Who's Line Is It Anyway" setup on Sunday. Both Rick and Luciana have done theatre but Callum hasn't and it's clear that improv isn't his strong point. He did loosen up a little by the end but I did feel for him.
From jdsmylover's LJ, here (there are also two more photos of Callum looking like wants to be far, far away*). Until now I had only seen the pictures she posted and not realized that there was a con report as well.
But, you know? Apart from the theater part (we know better, after all), I don't have trouble believing this. At all.
*ETA: And playing golf, probably. This is not intended as a barb against jdsmylover, which is something that didn't even occur to me. Apparently though it can be taken this way. Please don't. Thank you.
I will answer all the comments from the last days tonight, I promise.
ETA2: neu111 linked to two more con write-ups, by princess-s (Callum was about to fall asleep and head butt the desk so we just kept it simple with him.) here and esmerelda-t (we talked about Californication as he said he’d just finished filming a show in LA and two and two was put together. His recommendation is watch it, it’s dirty.) here.
