Met DC Douglas the voice of Wesker surprisingly and I HAD to get at him. I told him Wesker was one of my all time favorite villains in anything and an inspiration for own ideas in evil characters.
He read out my brother's shirt in Wesker's voice, "Keep calm, and kill zombies!" Which seemed kinda strange but it was awesome. |
Met him as in a con or as in "I saw him buying toilet paper and pushed an old lady to the ground to get at him."?
|
At the con. I went to one yesterday and caught him at a table.

Cool.
