Yes, I seem to be working backward here. I missed the 1st day of the con (Thur) due to work and travel time. Of the 5 secondary actors, I'd seen all but one. So that was okay.

The first official day for me was Friday and first up was Andee Frizzell aka The Wraith Queens! LOL. Andee is a very animated person, and talked about how she ends up doing a lot of prosthetic work in various shows 'what's wrong with this face!' she moaned jokingly. I can see why actually, she's very good at expressions, and that'll come through. She also said she had the right temperament too - the ability to fall asleep in the makeup chair and to be able to take several makeup people around her without feeling out of sorts. Though this worked against her as no one recognizes her OUT of makeup since she's there and in makeup way before anyone else arrives.

Andee told several stories - the funniest one was the stunt in Submersion where the wraith queen came out of the water. Bam-Bam has asked her how long she could hold her breath, then decided she could do the stunt - and they all forgot about all the makeup she was wearing. So she had to come up slowly while the foam on her face was trying to pop off, her fake hair was tied to her belt and giving her a weggie and she was wearing leather.. which was shrinking..... LOL.

She was asked her favorite outfit - and she was like - 'that little snazzy traveling outfit' (in the video that was shown) from Allies I think, because it was comfortable spandex - and not leather. She also said that her wraith 'second' in that episode was a close friend and was really getting into the whole wraith commentary and was whispering stuff like 'oh, I'm going to get me a snack, yum, yum, oh, he's tasty' as they were walking and she had to keep a straight face.

She also made a comment on the fact that the wraith queens kept getting more ... busty as the seasons went on. She has NO idea why they decided that 'oh, lets give her more bust' become the idea of the day.

When asked to ‘act like a wraith queen’ she did this. I only caught this one shot (she moved forward on the stage and I had to re-focus and pull back my zoom). This has NOT been altered. The strong light is from all the flashes going off from the front of the room. Totally cool, right?!

Andee was great the year I saw her, too. Even though I always anticipate the more well-known actors, these folks are almost always very entertaining and interesting as well.
