How Awesome Is Star Trek Star Eric Bana? SUPER AWESOME! Signing Autographs! Taking Photos! Homeland Star Damian Lewis On The Other Hand…
I love November in Los Angeles… Generally, it’s crisp, not cold… And it’s perfect jacket weather, but not arctic tundra weather. Whoo Hoo! I decided to head out to try and meet one Mr. Eric Bana. And while Pinky keeps trying to convince me The Time Traveler’s Wife was a good film… (It’s Not) I’m still a fan.
I’ve met Eric before and he’s always been super nice, I know he doesn’t like dealers though. Eric is out and about on a talk show along with Homeland star Damian Lewis. I’d like to get both so I’m crossing my fingers.
7:11 p.m. – I just arrived there’s only like 10 people or so here. Pinky, The Other Mike, CB, all the usual suspects.
7:18 p.m. – Pinky is knitting a blanket… I’m suspecting it’s for Sam Trammell even though she’s trying to convince me it’s for her nieces. Yeah, right Pinky! I know the truth! I CAN handle the truth (really I can’t… shhhhhh)!
7:21 p.m. – Lucas just grabbed Pinky’s blanket and is wearing it like a pashmina. He said I couldn’t use the photo though… Doh!
7:35 p.m. – I just realized that Pinky’s blanket is the same color as the Mike The Fanboy logo! Talk about random.
7:43 p.m. – I brought my Hanna mini poster for Eric Bana as well as a GQ magazine from 2003 and a Chopper DVD for my friend Scott. In Chopper Eric Bana is badass. If you haven’t seen it check it out. Oh, and for Damian Lewis I brought a Homeland mini poster as well as a Homeland season 1 presskit which is the bomb…
7:46 p.m. – Oh gosh, there’s a mad scramble to get in the barricade. CB held me a spot and everyone piled on in on the drop of a dime. Damn.
7:52 p.m. – There’s Damian Lewis. Everyone calls out for him. He looks over and then talks to a security guard. They talk for a second and then Damian Lewis disses… Wow! I kept hearing how nice he was. Man, that’s a bummer.
7:54 p.m. – Bummed… I have a feeling though that one security guard told Damian Lewis to not come over. It’s a hunch. If that’s the case, that’s pretty dicky Mr. Security guard!
8:03 p.m. – There’s Eric Bana! We all yell for him and that same security guard grabs him again. They talk for a second, and then Eric Bana comes right over! So nice!
He starts on one end and just keeps coming down. He is taking his time with everyone.
I love it when people are so cool! Eric is signing everything put in front of him.
He signs my Chopper DVD and I ask him to personalize it to Scott.
He sees the GQ magazine and is like, “WOW! Now that’s an old one!” I was like, “Yeah, I’ve had this for a while!” When I thought of it, that magazine is almost a decade old! Damn…
Eric continues down the line taking photos, signing… Very cool. Pinky gets her photo with him which clearly makes her very happy. Awesome!
So glad I decided to head out! Eric Bana is awesome! The last time I met him he was super nice and this time was no exception. It’s too bad about Damian Lewis but you win some and lose some! Doh!
Until next time kids…

The Time Traveler’s Wife is great! I can NEVER fall asleep on planes until I saw that movie on one! Very helpful!
haha “all the usual suspects”, nice
That was a fun one and it didn’t rain… woohoo.. Glad to see everyone out again.
Did you really have to post the WORST picture ever of me? I hate you.
Damien Lewis was a total jerk at the Emmys, too. Not a nice guy. 🙁
