Sad but true :'(  musingsofviggo.com have the following message from Viggo.

A message from Viggo:

Over the years I have made the effort to read and answer every piece of fan mail that I received. Lately, however, the volume of mail has increased significantly making it practically impossible to keep up with it all and to respond to each piece personally. Although I am grateful for the favorable response that those of us involved in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy have had, it is simply become a bit overwhelming. I find that I have little or no time left for other pursuits and have little free time left for art projects or for spending time with friends and family.

Therefore, as I do not wish to have mail answered for me by others, I have no choice but to say that I will no longer be accepting fan mail after October 31, 2002.

Please do not send anymore letters or cards as it will not be answered. I will, however, continue to honor requests for autographs in person as I have always done.

I thank you for your support and kind thoughts.

Viggo

Oh here's Bruce Hopkins email:

Unfortunately this will, from time to time be full. I will deal with it as time allows. I have 3 kids and bills to pay, thus time has to be rationed and the kids, believe it or not, have first place in the queue (sometimes I wonder why!!! And I bet they would claim there are times when it feels like they are at the back of the queue).

This is here in the hopes of doubling your chances at receiving a letter from your idol.

Always include a stamped address envelope(SAE) when writing to an actor as stamps are not cheap when replying to thousands of fans.

Make sure that your SAE is A4 size.  This is in case they send you a photo.  

Make sure when you mail outside of the UK you include the line 'United Kingdom' at the bottom of your address (after the post code).

If you are writing to someone overseas you cannot send them a SAE because of the currency of the stamps are different.  You can get International Reply Slips from the post office but they can be expensive.

Remember that the people who deal with the fan mail have to sort through a few thousand a day and you are not always guaranteed they will find it and read it.

Sometimes it's easier to send them a photo of themselves so they can sign it and return it.

Don't insult an actor and tell them that you want the autograph for charity purposes as they know all too well that your going to put the item on a auction site and sell it for profit.  

Make sure when asking for an autograph you let them personalise it with your name, this is so they know your not going to sell it on.

Don't be dismayed!  I sent a letter off to Warner Brothers and it took them a whole year to get back to me and send me lithographs.  I was only telling them how much I loved a show and they sent me them.  I didn't even include a SAE.

Make your letters short and to the point, don't write essays as the actors probably have more important things to do than read you waffling on about how much you fancy them.

Remember just because you don't hear from an actor doesn't mean he/she is ignoring you.  They are too busy themselves with filming, theatre, etc... to answer back.

Also it may take easily up to a year for them to answer so don't sit by your letter box hoping for a speedy reply.

Most of all be persistant!

Their ain't no Peter Jackson contact..dammit...

I am going to search the web until i find one! unless it takes over 5 minutes :P

edit:that took about a minute...how scary!

The quickest way to get an answer is to actually go and see them at conventions.  Since this is the only time they can give you a moment of their time.

Collectomania and Memoribilla are two of the best places to find Lotr Actors.  

You have to pay for autographs at these things, but in the long run it is cheaper and you know you are getting your autographs from the source.

Fake autographs sell for £40 on the net or in shops.  £20 for an auto is peanuts and you get to have your photo taken with them which is a bonus.

I've been busy writing to everyone lately, i haven't posted any of them yet. You can't send a S.A.E to america can you, because it would have to have american stamps on it, which you can't buy here? Am i right?

Oh yeh another thing, about this convention thing. It is only in London right?

if you want to send a letter abroad then you can go to the post office and ask for an international reply slip (or something like that) hope that helps!  :)

That's excellent aniviel!  :)

Did you use the address from the front page of this topic?

I've never written to any of the cast before, but I may do so at some point  :)
Title: Re:Contacting the Fellowship!
Post by: _aniviel_ on May 20, 2004, 09:27:10 PM
Yep, used the address from this topic... :) It took about a month and a half to get a reply and I also sent an SASE, and he used that so glad I did hehe :)

Was a bit odd recieving a letter for me with my handwriting on it hehe!

ooh wait, I scanned the picture - http://img1.tapuz.co.il/forums/32230482.jpg (http://img1.tapuz.co.il/forums/32230482.jpg)

 ::) An idea...when sending mail put something on the envelope, there are really incredible stickums to place on envelopes that dress it up. be creative and unique. This is an awesome job everyone has done, with contact information. And even the older fans feel the same way about wanting to write. I know.
Best,
Lady Robin :)

Greatful Orlando Bloom answers fans
[from Contact Music]

British movie heart-throb Orlando Bloom is so grateful to his fans for helping his rise to fame - he writes back to each and every fan letter he receives.

The Lord of the Rings and Troy star is one of the internet's most popular searches and is the subject of many websites, although Bloom admits he hates seeing the sites himself.

He says, "They make me a little nervous. I'm grateful to the people that do them because they are very enthusiastic about the work I do. The fans kind of put you where you are.

"I get 500 letters a week. And I answer all those letters, so I've got my hands full."

LMAO.. um, sorry  ;D
He barely answers letters anymore. I'm in some autograph's collectors forum and apparently he kind of stopped signing through the mail. He has a secretery that signs his letters and even she doesn't always respond LOL

I wrote to Billy Boyd and Ian McKellen about 6 weeks ago using the address' on the front page of this topic and I'd never wrote to actors before so thought I'd just give it a go. Well, I got a beautiful signed b&w pic from Billy Boyd on saturday there and one from Ian McKellen today (same as the pic aniviel has scanned)  ;D

Thanks for posting the address' cause I'd never thought about writing to them before  :)

I met John Rhys Davies, and got his autograph, when he was filming a movie in Croatia! He seems a really nice guy!!!!
Have never tried writing to celebrities... What chances do i have of getting a response from Sir Ian McKellen if im outside UK?
Title: Re: Contacting the Fellowship!
Post by: Tellyn on March 24, 2005, 09:54:24 PM
First response since last year!  I think you have a good chance if you send a stamped-self-addressed envelope.

Actually Lady, by all accounts, Ian is very accomodating when it comes to answering his fan mail. Just put a stamped addressed envelope in with your letter and you should get a reply from him! Best of luck.
