THR: What do you remember about your first Comic-Con?
Kwanten: It was before True Blood premiered and came at the end of filming Season 1 and we had yet to showcase the first episode. We heard that because of Charlaine Harris’ books that there were a fair amount of fans there. We were in Hall H and we packed it without any coverage at all. There were large expectations on us and we were pleasantly received. Thank God because they tend to be a good gauge of what’s cool and what’s not.
THR: What’s your favorite Comic-Con memory?
Kwanten: I was supposed to be tailing security with the True Blood cast and I don’t know how, but I lost track of him and I wandered out onto the convention floor by myself. I had more fun wandering around and seeing all the things I could possibly buy than being upstairs in the green room waiting to go out. They had to send out a search party to find me because I wasn’t exactly willing to go back on my own; I was having too much fun out there. It was really a visceral out-of-body experience.
THR: If you were to dress up for Comic-Con, what would your costume be?
Kwanten: I’ve definitely entertained that thought. I could do it for Griff, which is one of the films I’ve got down there. But it’d have to be something that involved a lot of effort.
THR: What panel would you stand in line all day to see?
Kwanten: Anything with Steven Spielberg, Jim Henson, John Carpenter, Wes Craven.
THR: Who would be on your dream panel?
Kwanten: Jon Favreau, Harrison Ford, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino and Alan Ball.
THR: What questions would you recommend fans not ask during panels?
Kwanten: Spoilers: The more people try the more I sound like a politician.
