Last month was the first Creation Entertainment convention for Prime Video’s hit streaming series, ‘The Boys’ – which, as I write this, somehow seems more prescient than ever. Filming for Season 5, the final season of the show, begins in a few weeks, with Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy returning for hopefully every episode (and maybe being joined by his former Supernatural costar Jared Padalecki for some episodes too!) As filming draws near, I couldn’t wait to hear what the actors were hoping for and what might be next for their characters.
Lucky for me, the convention was held in Whippany, New Jersey, so I was able to drive up and join the fun. It was the cast’s first Creation convention, which are modeled differently than multi-series Comic Cons or Fan Expos. The entire con was devoted to ‘The Boys’, so they had a great time getting to interact with fans of the hit Prime Video series. The cast is clearly as excited as we are about the upcoming final season of the show, as well as its spinoff Gen V and the prequel starring Jensen Ackles (Soldier Boy) and Aya Cash (Stormfront), Vought Rising. Here are some highlights of the convention and what the actors are hoping for for their characters in the final season.
I brought copies of the new book that takes a deep dive into ‘The Boys’ and all its complicated characters, Supes Ain’t Always Heroes, to give a copy to the actors, most of whom contributed interviews to the book, including in depth exclusive chapters from Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash, the stars of Vought Rising. There are also chapters devoted to figuring out what makes all the characters tick, written by people who can do that – psychologists, sociologists and media experts. The Boys is such a smart show, I love digging deep and analyzing what makes IT tick too! Turns out, the cast is just as thoughtful about the show.
Colby Minifie, who plays Ashley, was as delightful onstage as she is onscreen. Yes, I know she’s not exactly one of the “good guys” but I love her character and she plays Ashley with such wit, I love watching her. There are several chapters in Supes that analyze her character, and she was excited to get a copy of the book. In fact, she could hardly believe there WAS a book about the show!
Here are some highlights of her panel and the others. She puts a lot of thought into her character, which is clear in her answers to some fan questions.
Colby: The dominatrix scene made sense to me because Ashley needs control somewhere in her life. We had lots and lots of meetings to be sure everyone felt safe.
We had lots and lots of meetings to be sure everyone felt safe. We have an intimacy coordinator on set. For example, I asked Jack if he was okay with it before I licked his feet.
Something you can only say on a show like ‘The Boys’ and just have everyone nod.
Another fan asked, what didn’t happen that she would have loved to see?
Colby: I would have loved to see what would’ve happened if Ashley did go escape with A Train. But I trust the writers.
(I for one was hoping Ashley would take A Train up on it when he suggested that things were about to go to shit and they should just get the hell outta there! I may have been yelling ‘run Ashley run!’)
It’s hard to answer a question about the “most shocking scene” in a show that’s known for its shocking scenes, but Colby weighed in.
Colby: The salad tossing human centipede… and the dick explosion. There are also simple things that are shocking in The Boys. I really do think the commentary on celebrity and the entertainment industry is quite out there and bold in its satire. It’s interesting from the tiniest thing to, you know, dick explosions.
(I told Colby that there’s a chapter that delves into the show’s commentary on celebrity and industry in Supes – I’m guessing she’ll read that one first!)
Some of Colby’s insights at the con were hilarious – and on point for the show. She told a story about how she pitched that Ashley’s super power should be that she has acid pee.
Me: I can’t believe you didn’t go for this, Kripke!
She’s very different obviously, but she does connect with Ashley.
Colby: I connect with Ashley because we’ve all had that boss. I’d love to see her take down Homelander, but I don’t know if they’ll let her have that redemption arc.
Fingers crossed. Season 5 starts filming in a few weeks…
Aya Cash, who plays Stormfront, was also at the con. Talk about complicated and controversial characters! There are some fascinating chapters in ‘Supes’ analyzing Stormfront and what the show has to say about so many of the things currently happening in the real world through her. Aya has an in depth exclusive interview chapter in the book. I interviewed her for the chapter through zoom (we ended up talking about all kinds of things and it was thoroughly enjoyable) but it was great to meet her in person! I’m thrilled that she’ll be starring alongside Jensen Ackles in the spinoff Vought Rising. There’s an exclusive interview chapter with Jensen in ‘Supes’ too, all about how he crafted Soldier Boy (who is endlessly fascinating to me too).
Aya said she’s read a few scripts for Vought Rising and was impressed.
Aya: The scripts are true to the characters, but also it’s different, so it doesn’t feel just the same (as The Boys).
Also she’s very excited to work with Jensen.
Aya: I’ve heard such good things about this man, I’m over the moon. You never know who you’re gonna be working with and he’s just a damn gentleman, so I’m very excited to work with him.
She also has done a lot of thinking about her complicated character.
A fan asked, what’s the best part about being Stormfront?
Aya: The tits… .they’re not mine. But then, most of those boys’ butts aren’t either!
(I do have to say that probably doesn’t apply to Jensen Ackles’ debut as Soldier Boy, since being naked other than a sock didn’t leave much room for a prosthetic butt…)
Speaking of Jensen Ackles, Aya said she’s very excited to work with him.
Aya: I’ve heard such good things about this man, I’m over the moon. You never know who you’re gonna be working with and he’s just a damn gentleman, so I’m very excited to work with him.
How does she figure out her character?
Aya: I go to the page. When you’ve got Eric Kripke writing for you, how can you not? I get to build a character with the writer.
She had an amusing story about filming the epic Stormfront beat down scene, which on screen was not at all funny. Apparently between shots, however, they were all singing show tunes!
What can she tease about The Boys spinoff, Vought Rising?
Aya: The tits…no. That’s gonna be my running answer. What can I actually tease? It’s so hard because I wanna tell you everything. Well, we just saw….
She paused, stopping short and then looking alarmed, like a crisis had been narrowly averted.
Aya: Oh no, not even that, shit! I almost got in deep trouble. The Deep trouble…
She then finally came up with something she COULD tease about Vought Rising.
Aya: I can tease that Jensen Ackles is gonna be hot! (laughing)
Everyone: Worst spoiler ever!
She then answered with genuine excitement.
Aya: I’m beyond excited about the spinoff. It’s so rare and wonderful to have a role written for you.
Aya had some positive fandom related shout outs, saying she’d like to see fanfic of her former character Gretchen and Homelander. (It’s probably there already, because what isn’t??) She also has a passion for making pottery and the value of creating art that’s not for commerce – much like fan works!
The Boys set and cast both sound like a lot of fun.
Aya: We know how to party on The Boys!
Like most of the cast, she also appreciates the show’s depth.
Aya: If you don’t see villains as nuanced, there’s no way to fight them.
That’s a major theme of ‘Supes Ain’t Always Heroes’, including the long chapter on Soldier Boy, which is one of the chapters I wrote. I might have gotten carried away with that one…
Kimiko is another fan favorite character, and Karen Fukuhara was delightful too – love her blue hair for the day!
She also appreciates the detail and thought that goes into crafting these complex characters.
Karen: We work with a sign language coach, who created an entire language called KSL, Kimiko Sign Language. She knows ASL, but this is KSL, and we have a whole dictionary full of words.
A fan asked how she finds the emotional intensity in her character, since Kimiko has been through a lot and run through the entire range of strong emotions.
Karen: Looking at the shit in your own life that you get emotional about, you bring that to the character.
She said she appreciates the special effects on The Boys because they make you look even more badass (though with her martial arts background, she does anyway). It’s freeing, she said, being such a powerful character.
Karen: Did you ever think, when someone does something to you, this is what I’d do to them? I do, and I’m living out the dream!
Have to say, I can so relate to that feeling right about now…
We also had a panel from the lovely Erin Moriarty.
Erin talked about the musical number that she did on The Boys, and how some people thought it was her announcing a new EP for real.
Erin: They missed that it was satire…
That’s been an interesting issue for the series from the start apparently. It’s not exactly light handed with its parody and satire, but I guess some people can miss just about anything!
A fan asked about the amazing scene of Annie fighting shifter Annie in Season 4, aka Erin fighting herself. She said it was a ton of work and very complicated to film, but so much fun to watch after.
Erin: I slept for like a week after that scene with myself. It was choreographed to a metronone!
Erin also is thoughtful about the show, like the entire cast.
Erin: The Boys is a superhero show but very much reflects the culture.
Another major theme of Supes Ain’t Always Heroes – and something I love about the show too. Sometimes Eric Kripke seems so prescient, it’s unnerving. And shout out to Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson for creating this world that is so relevant all these years later. There’s an exclusive interview with Darick in ‘Supes’ – I loved talking to him and hearing how all these characters came about.
Erin also talked about the complexity of playing Annie and Starlight, and the division between them.
Erin: The divide is forced on her, she doesn’t choose the divide to be present. By the end of Season 4, it feels like she’s moreso outgrowing Starlight. In season 3, as a result of her trauma, she’s not even able to look at the suit. That’s the result of her metabolizing all this trauma, having PTSD to be honest. When you really think of the cumulative trauma she’s been dealt, it’s sexual, it’s verbal, it’s the situation with her mom, it’s every kind of abuse.
There are multiple chapters analyzing Annie/Starlight in ‘Supes’ because I agree that the character is nuanced and fascinating – I can’t wait to see just who Annie is when Season 5 airs!
Saturday night we got a Louden Swain concert. Rob Benedict, Splinter on ‘The Boys’, is the lead singer of the band, which is the house band for all the Supernatural conventions too. It turned into a dance concert and felt like we were at a club for a Swain show (something I’ve enjoyed doing more than once). I walked out of the show with a bunch of The Boys fans who had never heard Swain, and every one of them was saying “wow, they’re really good – and they really put on a show!”
They do! Check out Louden Swain if you haven’t already.
As a special treat, they even played a new song for the first time, My Word.
The band played ‘Amazing’ too, with Rob explaining that he wrote it after fans and his friends from Supernatural helped him recover from having a stroke (at a Supernatural convention). Rob writes the whole harrowing and moving story in his chapter in Family Don’t End With Blood.
The show (the Supernova concert I think it was called) was a lot of fun, with SO much energy!
Sunday morning’s panel was Erin Moriarty and Chace Crawford, who had a lot more fun together than Starlight and The Deep have had on the show, that’s for sure. Erin reminded Chace of one of the most challenging scenes he’s done, The Deep having a musical moment with himself (and his gills…)
Erin to Chace: You sang a duet with your gills…
Chace: I was scared that day!
Understandable.
The two went down a rabbit hole discussing The Deep puppet that was made for Gen V, as irreverently as you’d expect at a con for The Boys.
Erin: I’d like to use the gills…for something… it’s like hmmm, and she just remains mysteriously single for the rest of her life…like it meets my needs…
Chace (and everyone else) cracked up.
Erin: There’s gonna be a whole Porn Hub section devoted to gills now…
There’s a lot of laughter on the set too, they said. Chace said he’s always trying to get Antony Starr (Homelander) to break. He also thinks The Deep would be awesome in a workplace comedy like The Office. I think he’s right! But he did enjoy where his character went in Season 4.
Chace: They wanted The Deep to go dark, and last season was really fun.
Erin (deadpan): You had your heart broken by an octopus.
Erin and Chace are both hilarious, by the way. Chace told the story of being at a restaurant last night having dinner – and someone actually sent a plate of calamari to his table. Well played, whoever you are! (RIP Timothy….IYKYK)
They were asked if they ever had showrunner Eric Kripke have to talk them off the ledge because of something their characters had to do?
Chace: Well, you know, having sex with an octopus…
Erin: Remember when I walked in on you? I mean it was obviously not real, but you did have a strap-on octopus. And it was mechanical, and attached to him around his waist, and it was moving, it moved! That was not green screen.
Chace: That thing weighed like 70 pounds. I don’t know why they did that, it’s so easy to do CGI.
Erin (grinning): I asked them to…
Chace: I was like, they know what they’re doing… and 24 hours later I was like, nope they don’t.
What other character would they like to play?
Erin: I just wanna be evil again!
Chace: I wanna be one of the Boys – maybe Frenchie.
I caught a little of Laurie Holden’s (Crimson Countess) panel too. She said she was happy with how the show made sure the actors were always comfortable, something several of the actors touched on.
Laurie: In terms of boundaries, I wouldn’t do anything against my comfortability.
A fan asked, how did she play those very emotional scenes? (Like Soldier Boy confronting her about their past, which was clearly painful to Crimson Countess).
Laurie: When you’re playing an emotion, your body doesn’t know if it’s real or imagined. You can tap into the empathy if you haven’t felt that emotion yourself. Ask yourself, what if?
I also made sure to watch Rob Benedict’s (Splinter) panel since I know Rob well from the chapter he wrote in Family Don’t End With Blood all about Supernatural, and from Supernatural conventions. I am still so thrilled that he got to be on The Boys too, another Eric Kripke show – and in such a memorable scene! (Rob will probably never live it down…)
Rob related the way Splinter’s scene was originally going to be, which actually – believe it or not – would have been worse.
Rob: I loved The Boys, I wanted to be part of that universe, so I was like ‘let’s do it’. Then they sent me the script and I was like ‘oh come on, that is like next level!’ But I get Eric’s sense of humor and it made me laugh. And obviously there’s the sauna scene but there was so much more to the character that excited me and that I wanted to explore too. What I said yes to didn’t end up being as bad as it could’ve been. We had a zoom call with Phil Sgriccia, a producer on Supernatural and now on The Boys, and the director, and they were like it’s gonna be full frontal, which worried me because it’s very vulnerable to be naked for a long time. And they were like, and in the sauna scene it’s gonna be you and a bunch of extras….
Okay, that would have been even more stressful!
Rob said he consulted with Jensen Ackles and Alex Calvert, his Supernatural colleagues, since they both had been naked on The Boys too.
Rob: Kripke obviously loves to get us naked, we’ve all talked about that. It was nice to have them as a support team. I didn’t get to keep my butt (the prosthetic butt they made from his own lol), but we laughed at what that would’ve been like going through TSA…
In some ways, the preparation for the scene was more stressful than the filming!
Rob: I got to Toronto and they picked me up from the airport and took me to this special effects shop where I had to get naked and get into this big dome with cameras everywhere and they made a 3D model of my actual ass.
Poor Rob.
Rob said that his fiancé Ruth Connell (Rowena on Supernatural) was all cool about The Boys scene beforehand and then she watched it and was like “oh nooooo” (spoken in a perfect imitation of Ruth’s lovely Scottish accent). I tweeted that not thinking it was any kind of big reveal since I’ve known they were engaged for a while (Ruth also wrote a chapter in Family Don’t End With Blood), but apparently the rest of the world didn’t, since the news got picked up by Entertainment Weekly and People and a bunch of other online magazines – so at least a lot of people got to finally congratulate Rob and Ruth!
Rob said he had to do a lot of fight training with The Boys award winning stunt team – there were a full twelve minutes cut from that epic fight scene!
The scene was entirely choreographed and Rob had to learn all the clones’ parts too. He clearly enjoyed it immensely.
Rob: It’s a subtle thing, but if you look behind her (Firecracker) when we think we just won the fight, I’m behind her and she spins all the way around and when she gets to the opposite side, my clone is there too. That was practical (not special effects), so when the camera’s off me I run around and now I’m that guy. Stuff like that, you’d never know. I never get to tell these stories but I can now because this is The Boys con! That kinda thing was just amazing.
Rob was a little intimidated to join the show in its fourth season, he said, but it helped being good friends with Jensen Ackles, who had already played Soldier Boy.
Rob: Having Jensen in my back pocket gave me a little street cred on the set, which can be a little intimidating because these guys are all such badasses on the show. Karl Urban walks in the room and I’m like, ‘I’m Jensen’s friend!’ And he’s like, ‘hey mate’. So it went a long way that I could drop Jensen’s name as my pal. And they all kinda knew that I came from Supernatural, the OG Kripke show, there was a respect there, so I felt welcome. As a guest star, that’s a really nice feeling when you feel like a part of the family already, so that helped.
I love that Eric Kripke has brought so much of his Supernatural family along with him to ‘The Boys’.
We also were treated to a panel with Jessie T. Usher (A Train), who loves his character as much as we do. There’s an entire chapter in ‘Supes Ain’t Always Heroes’ devoted to A Train and his evolution and what the show has to say about race and racism. I gave Jessie a copy of the book and he said he couldn’t wait to read it. Many fans are passionate about A Train too.
Fan: If A Train dies, we riot!
Jessie: Where?
Fan: My living room?
Lol
What other character would he like to play?
Jessie: Love Sausage?
More seriously, Jessie answered a question about shooting the complicated scene where A Train drags Blue Hawk to his death.
Jessie: That was the most elaborate rig I’d ever done. We shot it in four pieces, one of just myself on a green screen obviously on a tiny little all green treadmill and I’m running and emulating holding his leg. We shot another version on the actual road with a dummy and then another piece on green and then not on green where they tied him up in a harness and made him weightless so I can actually drag him. They put him on a green pad, so I’m running on a treadmill holding this man’s leg and they’re suspending him, and his face was smacking the pad pretty bad – but he was a trooper about it!
Ouch!
What would Jessie add to A Train’s story?
Jessie: I want to know more about his parents. They touch on it a little bit when A Train and his brother Nathan talk about growing up but not really what their parents’ involvement was, just that Nathan took him by the hand and guided him. If I could add something not there at all, maybe a different career path, maybe he thought he’d be doing something other than running when he did get injected with Compound V. Maybe there was some sort of mishap and he ends up with a power he can’t use anymore so he ends up running. I think that would be really cool.
He also said he’d like to see A Train get back at Homelander.
Jessie: Even if he just runs in, slaps him, and runs out! And maybe reconcile with this brother.
Interestingly, the deep dive chapter on A Train’s evolution in ‘Supes Ain’t Always Heroes’ touches on wanting that too. Jessie’s realistic about his character.
Jessie: I don’t think anyone can outrun A Train’s ego! And if he ever wasn’t winning a race? He’d cheat!
A fan asked how it was working with Will Ferrell and Jessie said the day he filmed was the worst weather day ever, but Will was super cool about it. There also apparently were some great outtakes with Ferrell, which if we’re lucky we may see someday.
Unlike Jensen Ackles’ experience, Jessie said he worked out for 6 months to get in shape for wearing A Train’s supersuit, then he got there and they were like oh, we’ll build muscles into the suit…
(Jensen’s experience was the opposite – the costumer, when he asked about building in muscles, replied ‘oh honey, you’ll bring those to me’.)
We also got a Laz Alonso (Mother’s Milk) panel. Laz was back to being bearded and laughed about fans’ reactions to last season.
Laz: I had no idea I’d offend so many people by showing my real face!
He confirmed that officially MM is the smartest of The Boys.
Laz: But Tomer will argue that…
(I missed Tomer’s panel working in the vendor room, so I can’t vouch for that!)
We all appreciate MM’s tee shirts on the show, and so does Laz.
Laz: What I appreciate about Eric Kripke and wardrobe is that they let me weigh in on the artists to use for each episode on MM’s tee shirts. MM always represents Harlem and hip hop on the show, because he’s the only one actually from Harlem.
A fan asked, what would it be like to work with Antony Starr (Homelander)? It’s something Laz and Antony have talked about too – they’ve become quite close since last season, discovering that they’re more alike than different.
Laz: On a show like ours, with a name like Mother’s Milk, how have we not had something between us?? Of course I’d probably be on the losing end of that scenario, but it would be funny. We’ve both thought it would be tongue in cheek and fun and we hope before it all ends that we get to have that moment, even if it’s in passing. So yeah, we’re pitching.
Season 5 perhaps?
There was a cut scene between MM and Butcher and Soldier Boy that he described, which I wish we’d gotten to see.
Laz: That scene alone (the big fight scene as they try to take down Soldier Boy) could’ve been a half hour by itself, that’s how much we shot. There’s a moment when Butcher is fighting Soldier Boy and lasers his shield and I yell ‘fuck your shield, bitch!’ and then Soldier Boy blasts Butcher. What we shot, at that moment, Butcher and I are enemies because he betrayed me to side with Soldier Boy. But at that moment, MM runs over to Butcher. MM was a field medic, he’s trying to work on Butcher to fix him. Soldier Boy is working his way toward him, but I grab my gun and point it at him. Obviously it’s not going to do anything, but he’s still trying to protect his friend.
Also, Laz has thought A LOT about how MM could kill Love Sausage haha.
I would have loved to see more of MM and Soldier Boy. Laz would too – he talked about how MM and Soldier Boy’s saga evolved and what he’d love to see in Season 5 between the two.
Laz: I have no clue, but I would love to see some type of connection with Season 3 because obviously Soldier Boy is the reason why MM hates supes. He was his favorite supe as a kid and then ends up killing his granddad. So all of MM’s childhood trauma connecting to supes comes because of Soldier Boy. So I would like to see some kind of connective tissue where, however we end this saga, MM is a part of it when it relates to Soldier Boy. But I also understand that in a final battle scenario, one thing about this show is the story that we’re always driving is that you don’t need to be a superhero to be super.
When Rob Benedict (who was emcee for the weekend) came out on stage to end the panel, Laz had to laugh.
Laz: You look so different, I didn’t even recognize you in the elevator!
Laz turned to the audience with a smirk.
Laz: He’s a sexy mofo!
This cast obviously gets along.
Erin Moriarty took the stage again for an afternoon panel. She had some kind words for The Boys spinoff, Gen V, saying that she will always champion a female led show like Gen V, but also because Jaz Sinclair is amazing and she loves that cast.
She also loves the relationship between Hughie and Annie.
Erin: It’s a trauma bond but it’s also real love.
What else would she like Starlight to do with her powers, maybe in Season 5?
Erin: Kill someone, it’s time!
Erin had some nice things to say about how much she loves the way Eric Kripke writes Annie/Starlight on the show.
Erin: He writes it ultimately in a way that’s empowering for her self but not without immense struggle and not with perfection. I love that she never navigates anything with perfection that you might assume a character like her would have. We mentally put her in a box, and that’s what’s so cool about playing characters that surprise you. Just when you think she’ll follow this perfect ingénue trajectory she doesn’t, quite the opposite. I hope she keeps fucking up and learning – it’s not really about the art of success but the art of successfully failing.
I genuinely love how thoughtful they all are about their characters. Erin actually studied Dissociative Identity Disorder to help her understand how to embody Shifter Annie.
She said she had a great time hanging out with the Supernatural cast supporting Harris-Walz at the fundraiser Eric Kripke and Misha Collins organized.
Erin: Aka another family of the Kripkeverse!
I love that – count me in for the Kripkeverse!
Chace Crawford had the last panel of the day, and was in a great mood – and adorable.
Chace: I’ve only made love with one marine animal…okay okay, two…
That’s how you start a panel on The Boys for sure!
Chace: We actually got a PETA award for our CGI octopus.
He talked about something that’s touched on in Supes Ain’t Always Heroes a lot – twisted father/son relationships. In this case, The Deep’s twisted father figure relationship with Homelander.
Chace: Nothing’s ever good enough for him, you have to try to please him, because when he (The Deep) gets that little treat, that “good boy” that’s kinda what he lives for. He’s a very not self aware person, very narcissistic but also very insecure. I think he’s crossed about every line now so like, deal with the devil there.
Favorite scene to film?
Chace: It was 2 am, I’m in a van, spritzing down a dolphin, and then it shoots through the windshield. I’d never done anything like that! Memorable especially because it was the first season.
Yep, definitely memorable – for all of us too.
He loved that The Deep got to go dark in Season 4.
Chace: I wanted to see The Deep go darker and when I read the scripts I was like ‘yes, it’s finally happening!’ He’s trying to imitate Homelander a bit, dipping into that anger after the end of Season 3 when he murdered the congressman in the pool. And I thought it was good, he gets bullied so much, so he could lash out at Ashley too and explore that a little bit. It’s fun to see the darker side of him. He’s been such comic relief, it’s fun to see the shades in there, so it was a lot of fun for me.
Like the rest of us, he’s looking forward to the final season.
Chace: I’m looking forward to Season 5, I think Eric Kripke really knows how to stick the landing for the ending. (Season 5 will be the final season for the original series).
He also loved the satirical “Deep thoughts with The Deep” – because The Boys manages to be both bitingly serious and also hilarious at times.
Chace: We are all dumber for watching it.
Chace, like most of the actors, has an interview in Supes Ain’t Always Heroes sharing his thoughts on his character. He did a little deep dive at the con too.
Chace: He feels like a freak. The gills, he was bullied in grade school and high school and wasn’t the cool kid, he was a freak. I think when you’re bullied like that and the coin flips when you get older and get a semblance of power, you start to do that to other people. As you rise and get that fame, it’s very corrosive. I think there’s a lot of self hatred there. He’s a very un-self aware person, not introspective. He’s the guy who would never go to therapy.
Unfortunately (says this therapist) that seems true.
I wish someone had caught it on video, but Chace also does a spot on impression of Eric Kripke. He talked a lot about how happy he was to be working with Eric, which warms my heart to hear from all of them.
Chace really wanted The Deep puppet from Gen V, but it’s in Eric’s office.
He also showed us a photo of his adorable little dog Shiner.
Awww.
There were autographs and photo ops, and I had a chance to give most of the actors a copy of Supes Ain’t Always Heroes and to chat with them about the book and thank them for contributing interviews. They were all excited about it – I hope they’ll be as fascinated by the deep dives into their characters as we all were writing it!
