While Bruce Boxleitner was signing autographs, I walked up to Peter's line, in costume as a Centauri. Peter lit up. He was very complimentary of the costume (which a friend of mine made), and grinning asked "may I touch the hair?"
"For you, of course!", and leaned forward. The "hair" is a wig that maintains its Centauri crest through the miracle of spray shellac. (It's tough -- I bet it could deflect spears hurled at it by the Spartans.)
Bruce saw Peter was up from his chair, glanced at the costumed character and said "Londo, meet Londo!"
When I was leaving the room, the exit door was closed, so I reached down to press the bar to open it. As I did, the door swung open and Joe Flaningan and escort attempted to walk in. Joe's mouth didn't open, but the surprise on his face -- at coat and wig? -- read "what the hell is that?" If I wasn't as startled I would have at least said "excuse me", but didn't have that much presence of mind. Once I got back into the hall I finally had a good chuckle.
