    Rose McGowan and Holly Marie Combs – September 2023 – CONversations with Craig
    Oct 6 2025
    Two icons of 90s television and beyond—Rose McGowan (Scream, Planet Terror) and Holly Marie Combs (Picket Fences, Pretty Little Liars)—took the stage at FanX Salt Lake City 2023 for a heartfelt, funny, and wide-ranging conversation that delighted longtime fans. From sharing memories of growing up as child actors to reflecting on their post-Hollywood lives, the panel blended nostalgia, honesty, and plenty of laughs. Both McGowan and Combs began working as teenagers, navigating the strange realities of Hollywood at a young age. Combs spoke about finding “family” on the set of Picket Fences, while McGowan described how life in the industry made relationships feel temporary—but also taught her how to bond quickly and deeply with cast and crew. The conversation wasn’t just about their acting careers. Combs revealed her lifelong connection to the restaurant world—her family worked in the industry, and she and her husband now own a diner and an Italian spot where he perfected the fries after months of testing. McGowan, meanwhile, discussed her activism and her quieter life in Mexico, where she spends time observing monkeys in the jungle and escaping the chaos of Hollywood. The most powerful moments came when both reflected on resilience and inspiration. Combs pointed to co-star and longtime friend Shannon Doherty, calling her “tougher than she’s ever been” as she continues treatment and meets fans with strength and generosity. McGowan praised everyday “quiet heroes”—single parents and working families who inspire her with their perseverance. “It’s pretty magical that this many people still care about the thing we’re not supposed to talk about.” – Holly Marie Combs Want more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes stories from the people who bring your favorite characters to life?

  • Brent Spiner and John de Lancie – September 2022 – CONversations with Craig

    Brent Spiner and John de Lancie – September 2022 – CONversations with Craig
    Sep 1 2025
    Two fan favorites from the Star Trek universe—Brent Spiner (Data, Lore, Dr. Soong) and John de Lancie (Q), took the stage at FanX Salt Lake City to swap stories, tease each other, and reflect on careers that stretch far beyond the Final Frontier. What unfolded was a lively, heartfelt, and hilarious panel that explored everything from Breaking Bad and My Little Pony to truth-telling in acting and the evolving humanity of their iconic characters. Houston Roots and Astroworld Memories: Spiner began with stories about Houston, Texas, and their early days performing at Astroworld. What started as gunfighting shows quickly evolved into creative theater, with Spiner even co-writing a “medicine show” alongside fellow actor Trey Wilson. The pair reminisced about the unpredictability of live performance and the strange lessons learned under the summer sun. Breaking Bad and the Outsider Experience: De Lancie also shared his time on Breaking Bad, where he immediately sensed he was stepping into something special. “You can tell almost immediately whether the show is really clicking when you walk on the set. Everybody was playing at a high level.” As a guest actor, he described the balancing act of finding his place in a family that had already been working together for years. Star Trek used philosophy and morality as story engines: Spiner pointed to The Measure of a Man as a defining episode about personhood and slavery, while de Lancie emphasized Q’s dynamic with Picard as a constant battle of wills. Both acknowledged the audience’s role in shaping how they now see their characters and themselves. “We could not do our work properly if we went up there to lie. We actually are looking for the truth.” – John de Lancie Want more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes stories from the people who bring your favorite characters to life?
