Celebrities at Comic-Con Sit Down For Quick AMAs

I was on hand at Comic-Con 2011 to ask celebrities questions from you, the reddit community — all thanks to a sponsorship by Bing. We grabbed celebrities from the WIRED Cafe and had them answer your AMA questions.

We shot for three questions from each celebrity. However time was tight, so some videos contain just one answer (and we gave them their choice of which of the three questions they would answer). We used the best questions from the general Comic-Con AMA thread:
  1. What has been the strangest fan encounter so far at this Comic Con? from TheToadKing
  2. If you could go back in time and tell your childhood self one secret to living what would it be? from LeAnte
  3. If you were to dress up for Comic Con, who (or what) would you dress up as? from defenestr8
There were many highlights — from Adam West making a Jersey Shore reference to Matt Smith and Karen Gillan of Doctor Who fame swapping roles momentarily. Many thanks for those that submitted questions for these. Below are the interviews we were able to confirm with enough time in advance to get custom questions:

To top off all the revelry, Zach Weiner, the Cyanide & Happiness trio, a bishop or pope of some sort, and redditors from all over converged in the midst of the Comic-Con madness on Seaport Village in San Diego for some hobnobbing on Friday night. Thanks to the folks in San Diego for the warm welcome and for introducing us all to the wonders of the California burrito (it has french fries in it)!
