And I was actually wondering if your comic fannishness might be related to that. I.e., when I fall badly for a show, the actor interest kind of comes with it (for better or worse, b/c many a bad movie has been watched b/c od that :-). And it seems like that with a lot of other fans (even when they, like I clearly maintain the RL/fiction separation and really don't care about the actor qua person but do care about his/her roles etc.). Now I'm really curious how the percentages look like in actor interest...

..this calls for a poll!!! :D
