SALT LAKE CITY — An actor who you may know for his work as"Gimli" in Lord of the Rings and"Sallah" from Indiana Jones is thrilled to be in Salt Lake City for FanX."I love coming to these fan conventions because I get to meet the people who have been paying my bills for the last 50-odd years," he said."More than that, they have changed me as a person."
The star will be appearing at the large convention hosted in downtown Salt Lake City this weekend, with photo opportunities every day of the event and autographs available for purchase. "I meet wonderful young people, and I like to use these occasions because some of the things I have done have been science fiction, to encourage the youngsters who are interested in science. To think about a career in science.""I've had people come back and say, 'thanks to you I studied astronomy at Cambridge,'" he remarked."And that's very gratifying.
