Autograph Hints: Question!
Hobbies : Autographs Ask questions!. This shows a real interest, and if you can ask good questions, then it shows you know your stuff, right? Lots of people like nothing better than to tell you it took a million hours to get into costume and shoot just one five second scene, the one where they crawl through a tunnel in the rain with a massive fire burning behind them whilst ten thousand people shoot at them from one metre, and miss, and, all by themself, save the world from a meteor and impending alien invasion and that bad dictator of another country! (Or something like that; not everyone's been in a James Bond film!) A 'deeper' knowledge of the person is also useful - for instance, if an actor has featured in a classic film, or a series which has been done lots of time, refer to their predecessors, and tell them "You're better" whilst not insulting others! So, to take up the Bond theme again, should you be writing to Timothy Dalton, tell him how you thought Sean Connery couldn't be bettered, especially as the 'original' Bond....until you saw him. And he played the role so convincingly, and there must have been a lot of pressure on him, what with the fact that so many famous and revered actors had played the part before. Still, it must have been worth it as he got to work with the latest Bond girl....and you can adapt this sort of thing to the specific situation, if applicable. With a sportsman, you can use this comparison trick as well: tell Tiger Woods how you thought so-and-so could hit a golf ball the furthest distance possible, and how you couldn't believe it when he started hitting it miles for fun Autograph Finder
