ERIICA: How has fan behavior surprised you?
Blair: I think it's become more mainstream
actually. With movies like Fanboys and even Superbad which
celebrate the 'geek' culture, I think it becomes more of a fun thing to
dress up like a superhero or to be into 'cult' shows or programs or
comics. I think that's more acceptable in the mainstream, and part of
that is because Hollywood has begun licensing and adapting so many video
game and comic book properties.
ERIICA: Sometimes fans can be rude. How do you
personally respond to rude fans?
Blair: I'm really lucky because I've been
fortunate to meet nothing but nice people. I meet a lot of really cool,
mellow fans. Usually the only rude thing is if someone yells when you're
shooting, but I think that's more excitement than rudeness. People get
excited.
ERIICA: At this point in your career, when do you
find yourself acting like a fan?
Blair: You know, it's weird because this is like a
perfect example: I did an interview a little while ago with David
Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, which was really cool, but then I got
really shy when I had to interview Erik Larsen from The Savage Dragon.
So my inner nerd is definitely there, definitely strong.
ERIICA: You are a fan of many things. Is it
surreal to you that you yourself have fans?
Blair: Yes. (laughs) It is extremely
surreal. I certainly never anticipated that people would be interested .
. . (points to man suddenly crouching beside her leg) There's a guy changing my mic
pack! (laughs again)
ERIICA: Thank you so much.
Blair:
Glad I
could help out. I'm lucky I get to be a professional nerd!
