Yes, i met Ray Park at that same con, he was cool as hell. He had just signed to play Snake-Eyes and told me he was busting his butt to get in shape for the role. We talked for about 5 mins and he came off as a real person.
The other people that year were the Cast of the Warriors (one of my favorite flicks of the 70s) and Erik Estrada. My late grandmother used to love Estrada on CHIPS and even had his poster in the 70s.
Well, my mom never cared for Estrada, but she went over to him and got him to sign a picture to my late grandmother, Carmen. He said his mother's name was also Carmen and asked my mom where she was from? So, it turns out that they lived in the same section of Brooklyn, NY as my family did. And they talked for like 15 minutes. The coolest thing about that was Erik took a few pics with my mom and then walked us away from his table... He hugged my mom and did not charge her for a single thing, not even the autograph that the show was charging for $25 a pop! As he let her go, he told her "We're both from Brooklyn and this is how we do". Needless to say, my mom is now an Erik Estrada fan.
