He came to the Houston Museum of Fine Art to give a lecture,Q&A, and book signing about his book of photography "The Full Body Project".

He's a first class guy, and successful director, and of course... actor. I was just watching (and making my friends watch) the 1978 Philip Kaufman version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". Where he plays... a celebrity author who appears at a booksigning... hmmm....

He was funny and seemed kind, and had the best stories to share.

He's due on set in December for the JJ Abrams (LOST) new Star Trek movie as Spock. Winona Ryder has been set to be cast as a relative (his mother???) of his character as well. This was news to him at the Q&A, and he cracked up.

NICE! I met him in Reno a couple years back (I think he lives somewhere around there), but I was EXTREMELY drunk and was having really bad heart palpitations and had to excuse myself.

Trash.

Neat!!

Cute picture, too.

SUSS!!!!!

did u get him to sign ur copy of:

Oh that's wonderful! I was just looking at the classic star trek episode when he and captain kirk contacted radiation poisoning and started to get real old. That was a great one. Conratulations!

He had a great story about his idea to have a vulcan greeting/salute that consisted of a Jewish ceremonial hand sign he saw as a child. He came up with the idea for the "Amok Time" episode where Spock gets horny and has to go home. The woman playing the Vulcan matriarch couldn't do the sign easily, so she had to keep her hand in the shape with her other hand off camera until it was time to raise the salute.

Now that is coolness!

Did you make this hand gesture

& then wish him a happy Nanoo Nanoo?

Illustrator said:

He did! As a joke when he first came to the podium. But then he talked seriously about the origin of that sign...( see above)

ufoclub said:

Yeah I heard about the origin.
I met him at Fan-Expo in Canada about 2 years ago.

Illustrator said:

You know, I could never do that.

did mork do the same thing?

Cool!!!!!

ufoclub said:

I never watched Mork and Mindy, but yeah he used to do it. My hands just aren't made to do it.

VERY cool ~ I got pictures of Nichelle Nichols and Michael Dorn years ago. Michael Dorn was so fun to listen to (it was at a "Star Trek Convention" how geekie am I )

I loved him!!! ...

You should have asked him if Shatner's a pain-in-the-ass to work with.
