I caught up with Cleavant and Jerry over the last month or so in New York. Derricks leaving Wicked the Musical of course, while Jerry appeared on Andy Cohen's show. Both were very nice as always. Jerry remembered me and was appreciative of the Twitter Sliders Rewatches but he apologized he didn't have time to do it. Neither sounded too optimistic about Sliders reboot. but they did sign my cards and Jerry hit a few comics too!

Have we elected Grizzlor as our ambassador? That's so cool.

BTW, I like to think that Misha Collins jumped in your picture with Mark Sheppard despite you telling him, repeatedly, that he wasn't in Sliders

Possibly something for Grizzlor to catch:

Recently I ran into Robert Cuccioli, who is frequently acting in Broadway and Off-Broadway theater in New York. Don't ask me why I hadn't before, but I had some free time one night. He was, as expected, surprised I gave a crap about him, ha ha. He did recall the episode (Heavy Metal) in which he was in, and mentioned that the show was a lot of fun to do. I did confirm that the long hair/mullet he had was in fact real!

It was pretty small, I'd estimate no more than 60 people on Saturday.

Yea man, I'm in NJ! Last weekend I hit up the X-files mini-convention near Chicago, called X-Fest 2. They had multiple guest star Larry Musser there. I of course tried to jog his Sliders memory, as he played Jake the handyman a few times in S1. He didn't recall much, in fact, he swore he was Quinn's dad! He was partially correct as on one of the worlds, Jake DID marry Mrs. M! LOL. Super nice guy.

Ah cool!

He was definitely Jake

I've heard of X-Fest. What was attendance like? I think I emailed them once, telling them they should have a little sister subconvention for Sliders fans at the event.

I met JRD at NYCC a few years ago and he was awesome. I hate how expensive NYCC is, but I didn't hesitate to get an autograph and photo op with him. I hope to meet Jerry and other some day.

Grizzlor, you must be from NY also because you're going to all the local shows! I'm an LI guy.

It's funny how Sliders seems to have stuck with so many of the guest stars. You'd think it'd just be a job for most of them, and quickly forgotten.

That’s super awesome, Grizzlor! Thanks for sharing!
Anyone here met Lester Barrie? I know his character Diggs was kinda cheesy sometimes, but I always liked seeing him in season 3.
How about Jason Gaffney (Bennish)?

Thanks. Unfortunately, most of the Vancouver-based actors I'll never get to meet. Many of them are more or less retired, or just do guest spots on the shows up there that mainly CW shoots. Gaffney would be on my wishlist for sure, along with Tracy, Sabrina of course, Zoe McClellan (Designated Survivor just got axed), Tembi, and Floyd.

Also I had a chance to meet Jeffrey Dean Logan at Megacon in Orlando last year, but couldn’t justify the $100. What’s the most you’ve paid to meet anyone from Sliders? (Or anyone in general). Question is open to anyone.

When I met Jeffrey at RICC, I was there to get a handful of stuff signed for other people, and one for myself (Supernatural poster I preferred to pay for rather than lug around the Manhattan streets). So I had a minute or two to chat, and I mentioned Sliders. His eyes lit up, and he went on and on about the show, how he loved the concept, and that it was nuts that nobody has done it again since. You could tell that if he had been given a shot, he would have 100% loved to work on the series full time. You will not meet a cooler/nicer actor than JDM.

Anyway, his autograph was like $80 I think. The Chiller Expo guests I've paid for were usually like $20 bucks. John Rhys-Davies was maybe $40. Beyond him, Corey Feldman I guess. Sliders didn't exactly have a ton of heavy hitters, and Jerry doesn't do conventions (yet).

I had a long phone call with Robert Floyd in 2015 which I wrote up (and transcribed) here: https://earthprime.com/interviews/rober … looks-back

I had a long chat session with Tracy Torme back in 2000 where he told me what he would do if he'd had one more episode of SLIDERS to resolve the cliffhanger of "The Seer" which I wrote up in 2011 here: https://earthprime.com/etcetera/slide-effects-2

I bought lunch for Jon and Paul. (Hey, writers gotta eat, too.)
