Geretta Geretta

Geretta Geretta (born 14 July 1958 in Portland, Oregon, USA) is an American actress, director and screenwriter. Her film roles include several Italian genre films, including 2020 Texas Gladiators (1983), Murder Rock (1984), Rats: Night of Terror (1984), and Demons (1985).

Mohammed Qissi

Mohammed Qissi (also known as Michel Qissi; born 12 September 1962 in Taza, Morocco) is a Moroccan-Belgian actor, best known for his role as Tong Po in the 1989 Jean-Claude Van Damme martial arts film Kickboxer. A long-time friend of Van Damme, they both moved to the United States in the 1980s with the aim of starting a career as an action star.

Qissi appeared as Suan Paredes in Bloodsport (1988) and as Moustafa in Lionheart (1990, known as A.W.O.L. in the UK). He returned as Tong Po in Kickboxer 2: The Road Back (1991).

I met Mohammed Qissi at Comic Con Scotland in Edinburgh in October 2019 where he signed the Kickboxer press photo for me. I purchased the Bloodsport and Lionheart photos during a German Comic Con Facebook sale in December 2021 after he had appeared at this convention earlier that month.

Franco Nero

Francesco Clemente Giuseppe Sparanero (born 23 November 1941 in San Prospero Parmense,  Parma, Italy), better known by his stage name Franco Nero, is an Italian actor. He is best known for his breakthrough role as the title character in Sergio Corbucci's Spaghetti Western film Django (1966), a role that he reprised in Nello Rossati's Django Strikes Again (1987).

Since then, he has performed over 200 leading and supporting roles in a wide variety of films and television programmes in both Italy and abroad, in genres ranging from poliziotteschi, to action, to drama, to war, and musicals. These include The Bible: In the Beginning... (1966), Camelot (1967), The Day of the Owl (1968), The Mercenary (1968), Battle of Neretva (1969), Tristana (1970), Compañeros (1970), Confessions of a Police Captain (1971), Keoma (1976), Hitch-Hike (1977), Force 10 from Navarone (1978), Enter the Ninja (1981), Die Hard 2 (1990), Letters to Juliet (2010) and John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017). He also played the narrator in the film Rasputin (2010), directed by Louis Nero, and voiced the character of Uncle Topolino in the animated film Cars 2 (2011) directed by John Lasseter and co-directed by Brad Lewis. In 2012, Nero made a cameo appearance in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.

In December 2018 Franco attended the German Comic Con in Dortmund. Unfortunately the Enter the Ninja DVD cover that I had sent to the Showmasters send-in service arrived one day late. Instead I received a signed photo of him as Django, which was my second choice. My DVD cover then also got misplaced, never to be seen again so it was not an overall positive experience. I am hoping I will get the chance to meet Franco in real life some day. In February 2022 I purchased an Enter the Ninja signed photo from RACC Trusted Seller #147 Roland Brödner.
