I purchased this autograph and it arrived today. I really liked Leslie Mann in Big Daddy and she was great in Knocked Up as well. I wonder why she's been appearing in all of Judd Apatow's films? Oh, that's right, she's his wife!
My hobby is collecting autographs. I started doing this about 15 years ago, and then got out of it. I just started collecting again. Some of my autographs were obtained in person, some were purchased from reputable dealers and some were obtained through the mail by writing to the celebrity.

Alex Trebek - Jeopardy
I love Jeopardy. I watch it pretty much every day - even tried out for the show once (didn't quite make it). I purchased this one through one of my trusted vendors. I like the photo too.
Brittany Snow - American Dreams, Prom Night
I'll be honest - don't know much about this girl. She's cute and she's been in movies and TV shows, and I got the autograph uber cheap, so here she is. Hopefully she'll be a huge star someday and this will pay off. Part of the fun of autograph collecting is getting people early on, before they become big stars.
Jack Hanna - Animal Dude and TV Personality
Jack Hanna is a big deal in Columbus. He is director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo (one of the best in the country) and he still does a lot of work with them. He also appears on all of the talk shows. I'm sure you've seen him on Leno, Letterman, Conan or some other talk show. I emailed his office a couple of weeks ago and they sent this over to me today!

Another big star joins the ranks. Jennifer Garner is another of my favorite actresses and I'm happy to add her to my collection via an auction win!
Jessica Alba - Dark Angel, Fantastic Four, Valentines Day
Just acquired this one in an auction. I love, love, love Jessica Alba, so I'm happy to add this one to my collection. This is a signed shot from the movie "Valentines Day."

This is one of my most recent, and most famous, purchases. I think Matt Damon is great. I love the Bourne movies and Good Will Hunting is Awesome. I actually just watched him last night on 30 Rock.
Melora Hardin - The Office
Since I just got my Jenna Fischer through the mail the other day, I figured I'd add in my other The Office autographs. Here is Melora Hardin, who played Jan on The Office. I bought this one.
Angela Kinsey - The Office
Since I just got my Jenna Fischer through the mail the other day, I figured I'd add in my other The Office autographs. Here is Angela Kinsey, who plays Angela on The Office. I bought this one.

Jenna Fischer - The Office
This is my first through the mail success since I've gotten back into requesting autographs and I love it. I think Jenna Fischer is amazing. I love The Office and her character, Pam. I sent this request on Sept. 9, 2010 and received it today, September 23, 2010 - how awesome is that?
Leah Remini - The King of Queens, Saved By the Bell
I received this one in the mail today. With Leah, you've got the choice of either sending her a self addressed stamped envelope, or you can go to her web site www.leahremini.net and order a personalized autographed 8x10 for $4. Yes, I said $4. It is basically just to cover postage. The cool thing with that is you can request what she will write on the personalization. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with anything clever when I ordered.

I received this autograph by emailing Mr. Kasem way back when. He was still doing the American Top 40 at the time (pre-Ryan Seacrest). He is known for his voice acting talent as well as his radio show. He was the voice of Shaggy in the Scooby Doo cartoons and the voice of Robin in the Super Friends cartoon.
Ben Savage - Boy Meets World
This is a purchased autograph from Ben Savage. He was Cory on Boy Meets World. Cool name! Haven't really seen him in anything since then. He is also Fred Savage's brother. Fred played Kevin on The Wonder Years.
Danielle Fishel - Boy Meets World, The Dish
I was in love with Topanga, Fishel's character on Boy Meets World. She is now the host of The Dish on Style Network. She's still pretty great. I purchased this one, but I'm planning to send her a photo to sign at some point. I'd like to have a personalized photo from her!

Jill Wagner - Wipeout, Blade: The Series
This is one of my newer autographs. Honestly I just like this girl from her Mercury commercials and I do enjoy Wipeout from time to time. I purchased this one.
Jim Carrey - Liar Liar, Ace Ventura, The Mask, etc.
This is another of my favorites, as I've always been a huge fan of his work. This one was purchased and even though Man in the Moon wasn't one of my favorite movies, I think this photo is pretty cool.
Brian Austin Green - Beverly Hills 90201, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles
This dude has to be one of the luckiest men alive, seeing how is now married to Megan Fox. I'd have to say he's been one of the more successful members of the 90210 cast. This autograph was purchased when I was attempting to collect the 90210 cast.
Kathleen Robertson - Beverly Hills 90210, Scary Movie 2
Kathleen wasn't in the original cast of 90210, but if I remember correctly she was a pretty important character for a while, plus she's hot. I purchased this one.
Tori Spelling - Beverly Hills 90210
Here is Tori Spelling. I'm still trying to figure out how she became famous. Oh, that's right - her dad!
Tiffany Amber Thiessen - Saved by the Bell, Beverly Hills 90210, Son in Law
I absolutely loved Kelly Kapowski when I was younger, so it was a no brainer when I purchased this pic.
Ian Ziering - Beverly Hills 90210, Dancing with the Stars
Unfortunately I'm a little late for 90210 day, but I figured I'd go ahead and put Mr. Ziering up now. This one was purchased at a time when I thought I'd try to get the entire cast of BH 90210 signed. I never completed the quest (as they had a very large cast over the years), but I managed to get a few.
Al Roker - The Today Show
Al is quite a character and he really digs his weather, which is apparent by the drawing of the sun he put on the photograph he sent to me. I wrote to Al and he mailed this back to me.

Nicolas Cage - Con Air, Face Off, Ghost Rider, National Treasure
This is a pretty cool action shot of Nick Cage from Con Air. I purchased this one, but I've always been a big fan of his films.
Bill Gates - Microsoft
Mr. Gates sent me this autographed photo after I emailed him asking for one. It is a smaller sized photo, but still pretty cool.
Dave Thomas - Wendy's commercials
This one is from the founder of Wendys, Dave Thomas. He also starred in many of the company's TV ads. I wrote to Mr. Thomas and he send me this autographed photo, made out to me, a signed letter as well as some coupons for free food. He died several years ago, so this one is somewhat irreplaceable now.
Reese Witherspoon - Legally Blonde, Sweet Home Alabama
This is one of the tops in my collection. I've had it for a long time, but I did purchase it. Luckily I did so before she became uber-popular.
Peter Mayhew - Star Wars
I met Mr. Mayhew at a convention and got his autograph there. He is one tall dude. He played Chewbacca in the Star Wars films.
John Hollis - Star Wars
This guy played Lobot in Empire Strikes Back. He worked in Cloud City. I got this autograph in person at a convention.
James Earl Jones - Star Wars, Field of Dreams
If you can't tell, I'm trying to get all of my Star Wars out of the way at once. When possible I will try to group the celebs in a somewhat cohesive way. This one is James Earl Jones. He was the voice of Darth Vader, the voice of CNN and he heard voices in an Iowa cornfield in Field of Dreams. This one was acquired through the mail, which is always a nice treat! One bad thing - it was folded in half when I received it.
Anthony Daniels - Star Wars
This one is Anthony Daniels, or C3PO from all six Star Wars movies. This one was purchased. It just didn't feel right having R2 D2 without C3PO.
Maria De Aragon - Star Wars
This is another in person from a convention. This actress was one of several that played the character Greedo in Star Wars.
Michael Carter - Star Wars
Here is another in person from a convention. Michael Carter played Bib Fortuna in Return of the Jedi. He was also a very nice guy!
Jeremy Bulloch - Star Wars
This is the first in person autograph listed here on my blog. I met Mr. Bulloch at a convention in Plano and got his autograph there. He was a super nice guy. He played Boba Fett in the Star Wars films.
Thora Birch - American Beauty, Ghost World
Ms. Birch was pretty popular when I purchased this autograph. She had just recently been in the Oscar-winning American Beauty. She really hasn't done much of note lately.
Kenny Baker - Star Wars
This one is from Kenny Baker - best known as R2 D2 of the Star Wars films, well, really only known as R2 D2. I received this one through the mail and he signed it to me.
Ed Asner - Mary Tyler Moore, Elf, Up
Mr. Asner has been an actor for years and years. I got this autograph through the mail and it was signed to me. He was in the Mary Tyler Moore show and more recently in Elf. He is a renown voice actor now - he was recently in Up.
David Arquette - Scream series and husband of Courteney Cox
This autograph was purchased in the late 90s or early 2000s. Did you know there is another Scream movie coming out soon?
