Welcome back, con fans. As promised, our brush with fame at Thursday's media party will now be revealed.
We were fortunate enough to speak with Gil Gerard, aka Buck Rogers of 25th century fame. for a brief moment as he was being assailed for photograph requests.
As it turns out, Gerard has a home about 45 minutes from the Atlanta area. As he put it, he fell in love with a woman from Georgia who couldn't live in L.A. However, he can live anywhere, he said, so here he is.
He's working on a movie right now, the name of which we'll only give a tease to: "... Rage." It's about a Civil War soldier who's entire squad is wiped out. Charon, of River Styx fame, won't take the guy because he doesn't have any coin to pay for his trip.
So, they work out a deal. The soldier hangs around on Earth to gather souls.
Gerard was quick to point out that he doesn't play the soldier. Instead, he plays the college professor who helps a doctorate student work on her research into that Civil War battle.
"A lot of people get killed," he said. "But not me."
Nice.
