Director Guillermo Del Toro and his relationship and rapport he has with his fans is unbelievable. If I had not experienced it I would not believe it. At the 2006 Fangoria Horror Convention in Burbank Bank California Director Guillermo Del Toro signed, took pictures and talked to each fan in an autograph line for approximately 4 and a half hours. Now, the line kept moving and no fan stayed that long in line. It was that it was so many fans. I had volunteered to work the autograph line and I stood there the entire time. And he is the director not the actor; however, the realism of his talk with the audience on stage prior to autographing was remarkable. It was so real that you felt like you could leave with him and go get something to eat and drink. He invited the audience to email me him any shorts and/or ideas and indicated that he will review them. I believe him. I was there and I tell you this man is the real thing. I have not seen any other person in the business admired and loved like this in a platonic way other than Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen.
Director Guillermo Del Toro indicated to the fans that if it was not for them he could not do what is does. These two gentlemen must have gone to the same "charm" school for gentlemen. Director Guillermo Del Toro and Lance Henriksen attended Monster Mania May 2006 in Cherry Hill, Jersey. If you are looking for someplace to go check these two out. They attend as many conventions as they can for the fans. It is a small part of giving back to the fans for supporting them. I love people like this. By Lafemmenikita07

I was there the day, June 2, 2006 when Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen received a Lifetime Acheivement Award from Fangoria and Creation Entertainment. The genre fans really enjoyed this and gave Lance a standing ovation. Kudos to Fangoria, Creation Entertainment, Anchor Bay and IDT Entertainment and most of all to Actor/Artist Lance Henriksen and the other celebrities. By Lafemmenikita07

happy
Take a look at Lance Henriksen's Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Fangoria Magazine and Creation Entertainment (by the fans from the fans.)
surprised
Lance is great in this movie and looks good and healthy. 
Many Fans and celebrities were at the convention to see Lance Henriksen receive his award and listen to him speak so "down to earth" about his past and current projects, answer questions from the audience, and of course it wouldn't be Lance if he had not shared a bit of humor. Despite his serious roles when Lance is "out and about" among the fans he is very funny, at ease with his fans, and just a geniune person.

and signed an executive order lifting the blockade of the South. That evening, he took his wife to see a new play, Our American Cousin, at Ford's Theatre in downtown Washington. While watching the comedy, he was shot and mortally wounded by John Wilkes Booth, an actor and Southern patriot. Lincoln died the next day -- the first U.S. President to be assassinated. One hundred and thirty-three years later, the events of April 14 remain a defining moment in American history." "Lincoln's assassination has been chronicled in numerous books and movies. 
Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. "The scenes between Lincoln and Mary are love scenes. Mary was a very troubled woman who expressed that love in strange and sometimes disturbing ways, but they were both very devoted to one another," says Gray. "The toughest thing about playing someone who actually lived is you are dependent on the reports of others. It's not like creating a fictional character where you are at total liberty, so I feel a sense of responsibility to the woman and to her family," says Donna Murphy, who portrays Mrs. Lincoln. "I read many biographies and collections of her letters, and I came away with mixed messages of who she really was. What I did gather and what I thought was appropriate to use for telling her story, is that she was a well-educated, very intelligent, very sensitive woman whose husband was everything to her."
the White House, war-torn Richmond, Virginia, and the infamous Ford's Theatre. "Our thought from the beginning was that what we didn't want was a sepia-toned image of this time, which is often a filmmaker's first choice when creating a historical drama," says Gray. "The reality of the time was that the streets were muddy, there was raw sewage everywhere and soot in the air. So we tried to give this picture a very cold, blue, dirty look." Gray looked to production designer Roy Smith to design the settings. A grandiose facade of the White House was created at the Millenium Studios lot in Virginia, and Ford's Theatre was created in a theatre in Richmond. "The facade of the boxes in the theater are as close as we could possibly get to the ones in Ford's Theatre," says Smith. "Millions of people visit Ford's Theatre and are familiar with what it looks like, and we were very conscience of that when re-creating the theatre scene." "My aim with this film was to make the definitive movie about the Lincoln assassination," says Gray. "I hope it will give people insight into what really happened and the events surrounding that day. And I hope that people who see the movie will come away understanding how someone like Booth could act out of patriotism or whatever misguided obsession, and the enormous cost of those selfish acts."
