Mediafan

Your post is looking suspiciously like one of those litfan vs mediafan debates that are so incredibly stupid and pathetic and do nothing more than irritate people.

And I do know the difference between actors and the characters they play, unlike the usual mediafan stereotype (see GALAXY QUEST among many others).

I've never been starstruck by some of the actors I've met over the years, unlike so many local mediafen who fawn and grovel.

Point is we weren't a pack of "mediafen barbarians", we were real, live, young litfans (and hardly any of us read any fantasy, were SF fans); but we were from the burbs and we were unfannish.
