Callum Keith Rennie at the Galactica 4 convention

[c_regalis]

One year ago, in August 2008 (August 9th - 10th) Callum Keith Rennie, Luciana Carro and Rick Worthy attended the Galactica 4 convention near London.
I collected some transcripts, pictures, and videos, courtesy of 3xcusemyfrench, seiyaharris, the4ts and jhava.

so much stuff! and you know, i thought i had read some parts already but i think perhaps my memory is broken because lots of new-to-me. so, excuse me if i have said any of this before..

edited to add: “I didn’t understand it when I read it… or when I saw it. But I tell everyone it’s a great movie.”

and

“I haven’t seen it… but I was great in it.”

heh!

The outfits were too tight, he got them fixed and then could move his toes and breathe.

i am less interested in the overly tight footwear than, uh. the rest.

“I’m not a space guy.”

<3

“I want to die like a goldfish in a bowl.” - “That’s not how a Cylon dies!”

adlksajld. also <3 <3

11/ Would you like to go in space for real?
“We’re already in outer space, on a planet.

aw, i like his brain!

12/ Have you ever googled your name and find sth weird?
“Not from my work. As for my private life…”

ha! and THIS i remember commenting on before. *goes to re-check her lj is not included in google searches la la la*

*goes to read more*

[c_regalis]

Ha! There was stuff that seemed new to me as well, and I am sure I've read it all before.

i am less interested in the overly tight footwear than, uh. the rest.
Er, yeah. Me too. Even more to love about the Tin Man outfit.

I do like the 'I'm not a space guy' a lot, but I have to disagree about the outer space. Sorry, Callum. (Outside the atmosphere of astronomical objects is part of the definition for outer space. Ahem.)

*goes to re-check her lj is not included in google searches la la la*

Hehe! <3

P.S: You need to watch the... *counts* never mind that, the LAST video. Short and sweet.

[_unhurt_]

is this a bad time to mention panties?

pft. *invites callum to join me in the "not actually an expert on these things" corner*

p.s. omg DORK. ♥

[c_regalis]

panties?
YES IT IS. *hates*

pft.
Aww. I love you both? And it IS a nice answer!

DORK. ♥
And very nice timing, no? <3

Wow. Thanks for this, c! ♥

The pics!!! Nrrrrrghnnnnn... *clutches pics to boobies and never lets go*

Chris Carter wrote Krycek for him (!!!). But he didn’t know enough about the role and where the show was going so he turned it down.

This still makes me slightly upset. How great would this have been! Even more because I never could stand Nicholas Lea.

4/ Did you base Leoben on someone?
“Myself.” Lol
“He’s more human than a human.”

♥ ♥ ♥

Everytime he's on a set he panics briefly, wondering what he's doing there.

LOL!

He looks slightly uncomfortable in the improvisation vids. Poor Callum.

[c_regalis]

Ah, you weren't here last year? It was like a big party. He was there on short notice, like, three days before the thing started it was announced that he would be there. And then we didn't hear anything, and didn't hear anything, and then the first post, the second post, and then pretty much a post by someone every hour. It was awesome. \c/

slightly upset
Yeah, I get that. On the other hand, maybe we wouldn't have RayK then. And Billy Tallent. Johnny Johannson. You know? So, it's all good.

slightly uncomfortable
Yeah, he does. But not in all of them. I guess he needed to get used to it first?

This really sounds awesome. Well, I wasn't here yet at that time because I only discovered Callum this May after some friends made me watch BSG. So glad they did! And well, better late than never...;)

I guess he needed to get used to it first?

Probably. He doesn't seem like a "live" person.

[c_regalis]

only discovered Callum this May

Ah. And yes, better late than never. And even though I knew him before from Due South, for me it was also BSG. Flesh & Bone. Because... well. You know.
And hey, maybe he will show up at another con. One of the smaller ones for sure. But he seemed to have fun at this one? In a way?

He doesn't seem like a "live" person.
No, definitely not.

P.S. You saw that there are also picture links, right? Lots and lots of pictures. \c/

[green_grrl]

*wibble* *drool* Pictures are so gorgeous!

Callum as Taigh and Rick as Ellen--HEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hilarious!

[c_regalis]

Aren't they?

Callum as Taigh and Rick as Ellen--HEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tigh. Yeah. I think I love all the videos. Apart from maybe #7. I think that might be the first one? CKR doesn't seem very comfortable.

That was a wild weekend! :D Still sad I couldn't go. *sniffs* It delivered so much good stuff! Obviously the fantastic photos, and then the Q&A, the patch ! OMG. *wonders if he's still trying out that not-smoking thing* Hee. Ahhh and I love those improv vids more than I probably should, but still. He looked like he had a lot of fun which is the important thing. ♥♥♥

Great idea to compile all of it here, so nice to read and watch again!

It was his first convention
And weren't we surprised!

I’m not microphone friendly.
And that was less of a surprise

He freaked out at an audition for the part of “racist white guy” for American History X.
*approves of the freakout* Callum should just freak out more. Well, he did freak out some at the idea of playing a “racist white guy” in Unnatural & Accidental but did it anyway. I guess it's easier for him to play a caricature serial killer or one with some redeeming or at least human qualities, this must be where he tries to draw the line.

He likes westerns but doesn’t like horror movies.
So do we, so do we. And preferrably, serial-killer-free westerns, right?

Re: Vids - He seems to be out of it most of the time, messing up with his scripts. Good that it looks as he has good chemistry with Rick Worthy, making it a bit easier. Both uneasy and having fun, cute! And he's real good at rapping ♥ concise, but precise!

If anyone was smart enough I'm not sure I'd

[c_regalis]

And weren't we surprised!
I think I kind of refused to believe it until I saw the first pictures. Heh.

*approves of the freakout*
Yeah, but we don't really know why, do we? I want the whole story!

Callum should just freak out more
If that means less serial killers. Definitely. And I am GLAD he wasn't a racist white guy in AHX. Very, very glad.

So do we, so do we. And preferrably, serial-killer-free westerns, right?
Definitely. Or, you know, shows where he's a nice guy. And doesn't die. Can be a horror film for all I care.

And he's real good at rapping ♥ concise, but precise!
Who'd have thought, eh? And I think he has also excellent chemistry with Luciana Carro. *references video #2*

I'm not sure I'd call it smart, but, okay
A-HA! \c/ (Okay, I need to edit. More links1 <3)

Callum as a jedi chef. Duh?
Oh, right. I might omit that one. Possibly.

(And, uhm. I really don't want to be... er. This time? Post a new comment would have been the right move. You replied to Bluebelle. ;p)

[neu111]

shows where he's a nice guy. And doesn't die. Can be a horror film for all I care
Same here. Though aren't nice guys doomed to die in horror flicks? Okay, I'm not knowledgeable about horror movies, and he can be the exception anyway.

he has also excellent chemistry with Luciana Carro. *references video #2*
Sure. They definitely made a good trio, and I found her very cute. I just meant that it looked like Rick Worthy was, like, helping him to be more at ease.

I might omit that one
Not all pics on this site are jedi chefs (?) - fortunately.

oh please be... in fact, you should track me wherever I comment or reply...

Hey C, thanks for all the work you do on this site. You make my life exactly 14.8 percent more enjoyable because of it (that may not sound like a large percentage, but it is, I assure you).

Last night in Paris, huh? I wonder if he needs a French interpreter...and a caddie. I can't caddie, but I can speak French, if a little rustily ;)

[c_regalis]

Hey! THANK YOU! I am very glad. And really, thank you for telling me. Also, 14.8 percent is a LOT. *is very proud indeed*

needs a French interpreter
Possibly? Not a microphone person maybe, but he does seem to be a people person. So, yes. I guess he'd be glad to have you on board for that. :D
