I follow a lot of the VAs on Twitter and I've struck up a bit of a friendship with Alix. She follows me back and we chat sometimes. She's lovely.

I realised ages after the fact that I'd seen Steve Valentine in an episode of Psych which was funny.

And I knew Greg Ellis (Cullen) from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. A small group of us were fans of his character and used to write fic about him :D

But as you say it's more about the characters a lot of the time.
