Mark Donovan - Shaun of the Dead

Mark Donovan - Shaun of the Dead signed DVD

Mark Donovan plays the large zombie included in the memorable vinyl throwing scene, I am thinking of turning the cover to this DVD into potentially a zombie assortment (for those actors whose primary appearance in the movie is that of a zombie), what do you all (fictional people) think?

Mark Donovan - signed 4x6

I contacted Mark Donovan via email and asked for an address and if it was okay to send a couple of DVD covers to get signed by him and he was kind enough to include a signed photo with the DVD covers when he returned them to me.

Larry Gelbart

Larry Gelbart - signed 10x8

Through the mail e-mail success. Great success from Larry Gelbart who developed my all time favourite show M*A*S*H for television, he was a major key in what the greatness of the show was...

Pointless fact: I was wearing my M*A*S*H shirt as I opened it (yeah like I said pointless fact).

It is sad to write here that in September, 2009 Larry Gelbart passed away.

Excellent turnaround, I sent a request on the 25th of November, 2008 and got a reply while I was on Holiday which is fantastic. Mark Heap played the wonderful character of Brian Topp on Spaced. Wonderful comedy actor. He signed the front cover (pictured above) and the back cover (pictured below).

John Godber - Up 'n' Under

John Godber - Up 'n' Under signed VHS cover

Special thanks to Bridget at Hull Truck Theatre for helping me get this autograph, she's a star!. This is the only film John Godber as directed so far, but he as made many plays in assocation with Hull Truck Theatre that are too numerous to mention.

Erin Brockovich was played by Julia Roberts in the film about her. She was quick to send this request which I sent via e-mail (you can get the e-mail address of her official site if you want to get an autographed picture from her).

Jeremy Bulloch - The Empire Strikes Back

Jeremy Bulloch - The Empire Strikes Back signed VHS cover

"He's no good to me dead!"

Sent out a letter and a VHS cover to Jeremy Bulloch on the 25th of November, 2008 and on the 1st of December 2008 I got a reply - 6 days, that is amazing - I consider Bulloch cool because of not only the quick reply, but willing to sign TTM considering conventions and events probably make up a great part of his income.

The address I used was...
JEREMY BULLOCH
10 BIRCHWOOD ROAD
LONDON
SW17 9BQ

He also replied to my question on a postage note, asking if he really was in Carry on Teacher (I'd read somewhere he was and I wanted it confirmed).
