Joel Courtney ("Super 8") Success! - 07 décembre 2011 If you have not yet seen "Super 8," step away from your computer, go watch it, and come back. Its that good. Ill wait...
I watched the movie on Thanksgiving, and really enjoyed it, especially the performance of the young lead, Joel Courtney. Hes very natural, and doesnt seem to be acting. Anyway, I tweeted to him and he very kindly tweeted back! This led me to checking out his website, where he offers an address for you to write to to get a signed pic or your Super 8 DVD cover signed. And I just so happen to collect autographs from actors I enjoy!
So, I wrote him a letter, and not only did I get back an autograph, but he tweeted me again thanking me for the letter and asked what kind of music I teach, and followed me back!
Ive only been collecting for a year, but Im sure its not often that you get this kind of interaction with a movie actor. Yes, hes pretty young, but I think at that age you probably appreciate your fans more...and hes terrific to his fans. And years down the road, when I predict he will be a very recognizable and skilled actor, it will be exciting to think back to this brief interaction with him.
Anyway, thanks for putting up with my long story! Here are the details youre more interested in:
