It was at Motor City Nightmares, at a panel, Tom spoke at. Essentially, it wasn't originally Tom's Panel but some make up artist whom I forgot the name of cancelled due to illness. Well, they asked Tom to fill in for the guy, Tom was very down to earth and personable. He didn't sit at the stage, he sat at a round table and asked us all to sit with him as if we were his buddies.
He told some great stories about stage acting and film acting. He had a lot of cool stuff to say and was very informative on how both the movie and theater business works. He knows his stuff. He actually enjoyed talking about it, he also talked to a couple aspiring actors who wanted advice, he was very very helful. Gave step by step on what they need to do, how to network, what scams to look out for, ect.
I personally did not ask him anything, I just listened but i was maybe 4 feet from him, enjoying the stories. He was super cool! He's coming back to MCN this year, I'm getting his autograph for sure.
By the way, his favorite role was Night of the Creeps and Halloween III.
Here's a signature for you. NONE! -

He is so easy going and he actually seems interested in his fans. My wife and I met him a few months back and he remembered our names for the whole weekend each time we went to talk to him. He took several photos with us and signed a bunch of stuff.

Good to hear! I met him about five years ago in Nashville at a screening of The Fog. Tom answered questions beforehand. A friend and I followed him to the lobby and talked to him for a bit. He autographed our Halloween 3 dvd's. He does seem like a cool guy. I'd love to buy him a beer sometime and talk to him longer.
