Stargate Burbank 2008 - Sunday - pt 2

[winter_elf]

And now for Jason Momoa! Hearing about the bar fight only the night before the con was to start, I was sure Jason was still in the hospital or something. I was very glad and amazed he showed up. I did not take as many pictures of Jason, I think I was feeling guilty or something, and almost all I took are from one side. The few I got too close with I don't want to post.

Yes, it looks likes it will be a nasty scar, and yes, I'm sure he's got many more surgeries ahead of him. While it wouldn't affect his work on SGA, for any other work as an actor, it's got to be very tough. He's very low spoken and laid back. A lot like Ronon in many respects.

Jason talked a lot about surfing, doing the stunts on the set, what training he's had, his growing up as kid, the meaning of his tattoos, and the sillyness of sci-fi. I don't know why he decided to auction his guitar, as it seemed a spur of the moment thing, and it was a shame Creation didn't seem to want to assist.

margec01 took notes while I took photo's, so she's got more info - remembers more.

I didn't realize you knew Marge! She and I go way back

We met last Nov at the Stargate con, then I ran into her at MediaWest. This Nov we actually hung out and shared a room - and discovered we both knew you! :) She didn't realize I'd done the NZ jaunt with you.

It was so funny. Winter_elf was saying that she had done a lot of fannish things with a friend in Chicago, and I thought of you right away. But I thought, Nah, how would they know each other? I didn't realize winter_elf was a LOTR fan, though I guess I should have figured out by the name. (Duh.) When she said it WAS you, I laughed out loud. Fandom really IS a small world, isn't it?

It really is! Janet Sherman resurfaced at Chicago TARDIS this year - hadn't seen her in 20 years!

I feel so badly for him...
I can't really tell or see any scars from the photos..
I hope it won't affect his career in a negative way..
Thank you for your post !*!*!

They are move visable from the other side and while mostly hidden under his glasses, you can see them. Unfortunately, he's got more surgery to go through and might get stuck with more villian type rolls now :(

Jason did make that comment, "Chicks dig scars, huh?" But, unfortunately, as an actor that's probably not for the best. Too bad his loser attacker probably doesn't have any money, because he sure should be sued if he had!
