Update: Thanks to those who responded! I definitely took away that this was not a great idea. Duly noted!

I’m an unrepresented screenwriter hoping to get some perspective from the more seasoned professionals here!

A couple months ago, I reached out to the creators of the show The OC and three of the main cast members (via their agents/managers) to try to pitch them on a concept for a reunion.

This was an extremely long shot to say the least. So, when I didn’t hear back from anyone on my initial email and follow up, I took it that they weren’t interested and moved on.

I only started thinking about this again because in about a week one of the actors I reached out to, Ben McKenzie, will be coming to Chicago (where I live) to screen his new movie and do a Q&A. I’m attending the screening and am hoping to get my DVD box set of The OC signed by him afterwards.

During that signing, is it appropriate to talk business at all and briefly mention my outreach to his management team? My gut tells me that this would be unwelcome, and but before I officially decided not to say anything, I figured I’d check with people more experienced than me!
