Matt Refghi: Alright, so we just arrived at Dragon*Con 2012, and we encountered Moss from The IT Crowd. How are you doing, Moss?
Maurice Moss: (British accent) Doing well, thank you.
Matt: Alright, I see that you have a cup there.
Moss: (British accent) Absolutely, Ive searched the canteen completely and most thoroughly, and Ive actually found my cup.
Matt: Woah.
Moss: (British accent) Its very, very distinctive because theres a picture on the base.
Matt: Okay, alright. How do you differentiate between that cup and the other cups.
Moss: (British accent) Well, mainly the picture is what does it, although I do see Richmond drinking from it from time to time, which makes me a little bit vexed.
Matt: I thought he died from scurvy.
Moss: (British accent) He did. But then later he came back, as you know, from goth to boss?
Matt: Thats right.
Moss: (British accent) Absolutely. Quite surprising.
Matt: I see, and I see youre also wearing a very interesting shirt right there.
Moss: (British accent) Oh, well, yes, see, unfortunately, it is the week-end, and since it is the week-end, Aunt Irma visits.
Matt: Oh, yeah.
Moss: (British accent) Sometimes, it gets a little bit wonky with our emotions and breast tenderness, its a little embarrassing to be quite certain.
Matt: I see. So I see youve embraced it, it seems that you like to show off this image, now. How is Jen doing, by the way?
Moss: (British accent) Well, Jen unfortunately couldnt make it because of Aunt Irma.
Matt: Because of Aunt Irma.
Moss: (British accent) It gets a little bit unwieldy having her out of sorts with her wild hair and her womanly ways, and all sorts of things that arent necessarily proper for small children or anyone.
Matt: Probably a wise decision, yes. Alright, so how long have you been coming to Dragon*Con?
At this point Lucien stops speaking in character, and drops the British accent.
Lucien: Im going to break character I guess, for that one since its a knocker, but I first started in 1996, so Ive been coming for 16 years. Yeah, 16 years, thats a long time.
Matt: Yeah, so youre from the area, I take it?
Lucien: Ive lived in Georgia for about half of my life, I was originally from California.
Matt: I see.
Lucien: So I moved out here, and go back and forth quite frequently to visit family, stuff like that, so. How long have you been being coming to the Con?
Matt: This is my third year, and his first year.
Lucien: Awesome, first year. Nice!
Matt: First year, yeah. And we just arrived, and just bumped into Lucien who also when I came here last year, I saw him, and thought he had the best costume.
Lucien: Thank you sir, I appreciate that. Thats awesome, dude.
Matt: Youre welcome. So I wrote a blog post, and he happened to find it randomly, so its just really funny that the first person I encounter here is Lucien. So, very good, and youre rocking that uniform again, I like.
Lucien: Absolutely.
Matt: Like the accent, you really have that down.
Lucien: I try, sometimes it gets hard, like his pronunciation is a little weird after certain vowel sounds, so its really hard to capture it. But, I do the best I can, you have to practice for like weeks in advance.
Matt: Thats some dedication.
Lucien: It is.
Matt: I see you also embody the body language.
Lucien: Yes, thats really important. That was killer for me, because if Im going to do the costume, I feel its important to be in costume, I think its important to be in character all the time. When I have my next one on which is, like I said his character from The Watch, I try to he doesnt have much speaking parts in that, but hes I dont want to spoil it on camera since you havent seen it, but I have a prop from it thats very distinctive.
Matt: I see.
Lucien: Hopefully, you know, itll be his character is similar, so it should be easy.
Matt: Okay, so its been a pleasure meeting up with you, and by the way, just so you know, we come from Montreal, Canada.
Lucien: Oh, seriously!
Matt: We fly down, yeah.
Lucien: Thats awesome. Yeah, everyone comes from all around, thats always nice. I have a guy who came, I met him yesterday, hes dressed as Rimmer from Red Dwarf
Matt: Okay. Im not familiar with it, but go ahead.
Lucien: Its an old 1980s British sci-fi comedy
Matt: Right.
Lucien: Hes here, and he came from Australia.
Matt: Nice.
Lucien: First Dragon*Con, awesome.
Matt: Very nice. Great, so yea, good seeing you and
Lucien: Absolutely.
Matt: So see you again.
