I hate to be the bringer of bad news but Adam has pulled out of his appearance in Milton Keynes due to work commitments. I only got my tickets for the photo op last saturday so i am really quite pissed. Well all we can hope is that he comes next year.

Getting a bit twitched by this. What with this, and some interview comments - is our BDH backing away from Firefly/Serenity?

Don't get all down about it. He's a working person who still has to pay the rent no matter how much he enjoys Jayne. One season's wages is not usually enough to retire on.
I'm sure he's feeling at least a little guilty for disappointing the fans.

That's the vibe I've always got from him - just a working actor, rather than a 'star'. No, my worry would be someone so essential to the ensemble deciding that they didn't want to come back into the fold if something were to occur. However, I also read something about a three-picture contract, so we can hope...

It seems like this is the second or third time I've heard about Adam pulling out of making an appearance in less than a year! Bit disappointing in many ways.

interestingly enough.. you don't hear about the others pulling out.. now it could be that Adam leaving is a bigger disappointment, or it could be that the others do not commit to things they cannot make. I cannot imagine that any actor doesn't know his work schedule weeks in advance... if they are filming...

No one faults an actor for taking work... but I think we are seeing a pattern here for Mr. Baldwin, that he is often unable to attend these get togethers. I can imagine that is is very disappointing to those who have tickets... and I think it will make ppl leery of buying in the future, lest he be unavailable again...

just my opinion and not in any way shape or form related to the thoughts of a sane individual or this forum

Pleased he has work but sad I can't meet him. Let's hope he can make it another time....

(I knew I should have gone to London to see him last year *sigh*)

I think he's the sort of utility actor that can get called into roles at short notice. As fun as conventions are for us, they're not the day job for actors and I suspect nearly every actor would rather get a reputation with fans for pulling out of appearances than a reputation with directors and agents for pulling out of roles.

I got to meet him at the Edinburgh signing and he was happily talking to fans there. I also think he's one of the biggest hearted BDH's but he definitely keeps his light under a bushel. Things like wearing one of Lux's t-shirt designs to the premiere... I swear he's this big damn softie in real life.
