Ruggero Deodato

Ruggero Deodato (born 7 May 1939 in Potenza, Basilicata, Italy; died 29 December 2022 in Rome Italy) was an Italian film director and screenwriter, who is probably best know for the brutal horror film Cannibal Holocaust (1980). However, his career spanned a wide range of other genres including peplum, comedy, drama, poliziottesco, and science fiction. Other notable films include Live Like a Cop, Die Like a Man (1976), Last Cannibal World (1977), The House on the Edge of the Park (1980), Cut And Run (1984), and The Barbarians (1987).

Ruggero signed the Cannibal Holocaust Blu-Ray sleeve for me when he appeared at London Film & Comic Con in July 2019 (I was not able to attend this event but used the Showmasters pre-order service).

Michael Ironside

Frederick Reginald Ironside (born 12 February 1950 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada), known as Michael Ironside, is a Canadian actor, producer, director, and screenwriter. I know him best for his roles in Scanners (1981), Top Gun (1986), Extreme Prejudice (1987), Total Recall (1990), Highlander II: The Quickening (1991), and Starship Troopers (1997).

Michael Ironside appeared at London Comic Con Winter in November 2022 where he signed a Top Gun 8x10 and my Top Gun Soundtrack record sleeve (also signed by James Tolkan in Edinburgh in October). I had pre-ordered the signed photo months ago through the Showmasters send-in service since he was originally scheduled to appear at LFFC in July 2022. The record sleeve I had sent to Woody's Memorabilia to be signed at the winter event since I do not really trust the Showmasters service anymore when it comes to sending in my own items.
