Actors in sci-fi shows have to consider the Star Trek/Galaxy Quest problem: the show might be cancelled before they get a big payday, but they might become so well known they can't get a role in any other show (original Star Trek is an example of this - anytime one of them was a guest star in another show there was always a Star Trek reference).
It's understood that thye might have to make a living selling autographs.
I don't blame them, I don't usually pay, but if I like them I will. The autograph means nothing, talking to them is the fun thing.
But you're not paying for the autograph, you're paying for every thick-as-shit real life Comic Book Guy (a lot of them are fat with beards too - way to break the stereotype guys). With their stupid questions and lack of social experience and belief that the actor is obsessed with the show just like them.
Not to mention all the little kids who can't tell the difference between an actor and a TV character.
As a recipient of the same stupid questions 50 times a day in my own professions, I sympathise with them.
