If you spent the whole day in Ballroom 20 on Friday, then you were treated to the Brave New Warriors panel hosted by Entertainment Weekly‘s Lynette Rice. The panel consisted of fan favorite actors: Richard Rankin (Outlander), Rodrigo Santoro (Westworld), Ricky Whittle (American Gods), David Harbour (Stranger Things), Christopher Meloni (Happy), and Colin O’Donoghue (Once Upon a Time).
The entire panel was not recorded by EW, so there are only bits and pieces of what was discussed. Below are some video clips of the panel, tweets from us during the panel, and photos galore at the bottom.
After discussing his love for his Outlander character — “probably the best character on the show” — Rankin recalled his most embarrassing job when he played one of Cinderella’s stepsisters in a play and, as he put it, “lost a little piece of his soul” each day he took the stage for a crowd of kids he said “couldn’t care less.”
The first video is a few of the actors (including Richard) responding to what they would do if they saw a fan with their face tattooed on them.
