Hey everybody, so I finally made it to a Cleavant performance! Well sort of. A friend and I drove up to the Rhode Island Comic Con in Providence this weekend. Saturday night, we took a detour in between, and drove back out to Hartford. We got there about 15 minutes for the end of the play, and Cleavant popped out about 15 minutes later. He seemed in a big hurry, probably has rarely been stopped by fans.
I yell “hey Cleavant can you sign my Sliders poster?” He does so laughing the whole time, and when I show him the CD he goes “oh man you’re really taking me back now!” I also get a photo. He then proceeds to say something about how the show was so much fun and such. Saying "Tell everybody I had a great time doing it, no matter what." Obviously I would have loved to speak to him for an hour about it, but at that time of night, he wanted to go! He then took off in a power walk down the block.
PS: I also had the shirt on that day at the convention, and when I had Jeffrey Dean Morgan sign some stuff for me, I pointed it out. He got really excited, and said "man that show had a great premise, they need to bring it back on." He said he was really intrigued by the premise, too.

That's awesome! It's crazy how much staying power this show has on certain people.
It's crazy that no one has decided to reboot it.

Well this is my favorite show, so I love talking about it with the people who were part of it. It's truly amazing that almost to a person, when I mention an actors work on the show, they really praise it. They love the concept, they feel it should be back on TV in some form, etc., etc. I may do a post (will be a long one) of all the Sliders stars and guest stars I've met as part of my celebrity collecting! Ha ha ha. Obviously I'd still like to meet Charlie O'Connell, Tembi Locke, and Robert Floyd, but the gold ones for me would be Bob Weiss, Tracy Torme and of course Sabrina Lloyd.
