I Finally Met Michael Jai White! Thank You Sir and Thank You Galaxycon Columbus!

For the first time, I went to Galaxycon Columbus.

I had been to the one in Louisville in 2019.

It’s a HUGE event, with several stars and vendors.

I wanted to meet so many people at this event because it was really stacked with stars.

Stars such as Hayden Christensen, Weird Al Yankovic, Keifer Sutherland, Ernie Hudson, Kurt Fuller, John Cleese, William Katt, and people I had met before like Danny Trejo, Nick Castle, George Takei, and also several wrestlers I had seen or met before like Rick and Scott Steiner, Sting, Lex Luger, Jerry “The King” Lawler, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Arn and Brock Anderson, Mick Foley, and others.

I did see most of them, but having said all of that, I only went to meet one person who I had never met before: Michael Jai White.

He is an actor/director/writer/producer/martial artist/teacher/great and humble person.

I have been a fan of his work for some time now, particularly his movies Blood And Bone, Never Back Down 2 and 3, Black Dynamite (the movie and animated series), Outlaw Johnny Black, Welcome To Sudden Death, Undisputed II, Falcon Rising, the first two Universal Soldier movies, Skin Trade, Triple Threat, The Vigilante Diaries, Accident Man, The Dark Knight, Spawn, Tyson, just to name a few.

When I went to get his autograph, I brought with me my Outlaw Johnny Black DVD.

As soon as he saw that, he lit up, saying “now that is my favorite”. And I said “well I’m really glad I brought it”.

I also asked him about whether he will do anything more with Black Dynamite, and he said he is trying to work on a sequel. I hope it happens because I love that movie and it’s 2 season animated series so much.

I later got my picture taken with him and he remembered me saying “good to see you again”.

And when I went to his Q&A later on, I asked him about Outlaw Johnny Black, and he gave me a very good answer (last video listed below).

I cannot say enough about this man. He’s very talented, but more than that, he is a very good person who does not see himself as a big deal, but he sees himself doing what he needs to do in life. And I applaud him for it.

Thank you so much sir for meeting me and being so kind. I cannot wait to see your upcoming movies (one of which he said at his Q&A) he is making right now as of this writing in Louisville, Kentucky, which I find very exciting. And he said he finished another movie recently too. Busy man.

Oh and before Michael’s Q&A, there was a “Celebrity Match Game” game that I watched live.

Based on the famous game show, this iteration of Match Game consisted of emcee Elgin David and celebrity panelists Dave Willis, Leva Bates, Roger Craig Smith, Stephen Kramer Glickman, Dana Snyder, and Guy Hutchinson playing the main part of the game with two contestants chosen out of the studio audience.

I’ve loved Match Game for many years so this was fun to see as well.

Well, that pretty much covers my day.

I wanted to meet so many others, but frankly, I could not afford to meet anyone else.

But meeting Michael was the main reason I cared to go to this event, which as I said above was HUGE, located at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio.

When I found out Michael was going to be there, I had to go.

And if he would not have been there, I would not have gone.

So thank you Michael for coming to Galaxycon Columbus and for Galaxycon Columbus for booking him.

Thank you so much.
