Modurator’s report…Big Angry Rant!!!
I’m curious to know what these awful things are that fans have done to Michael McManus. So far, in two years, the only incident anyone has specifically mentioned is the one where a misguided, very young (and probably drunk) female fan grabbed his butt cheek at the first UnCon. Bad enough, certainly, but I heard that he was very kind, and handled it well, and the girl was extremely embarrassed afterward.
Since then, no one has detailed any other incidences, other than the usual silly fan worship from afar (and God knows, I’ve done my share). What, exactly, happened that made him so afraid of fans? Has anyone threatened him? Propositioned him? No one ever says.
Can it be that he just considers himself a “serious” actor who doesn’t want to be bothered with all the fan stuff? I’ve said before that he isn’t exactly a people person, and maybe isn’t the kind of person I’d want him to be, but it’s certainly his right to be whatever he wants.
As for the clone stuff, why WAS that brought up? I doubt MMcM even knows about that, or if he’s heard, I seriously doubt he gives a rat’s patoot about it. Why would he? It doesn’t have anything at all to do with him personally. The game is based on a character which, as of now, he no longer inhabits.
