Who's Cool and Who's Cruel to Fans and Autograph Collectors?

By Josh Board with Steve Cyrkin

It's time again for Autograph magazine’s Annual 10 Best & 10 Worst Hollywood Signers lists. For the third year in a row, actor Johnny Depp is ranked the number one best signer, closely followed by Matt Damon. Surprisingly, funny man Will Ferrell is our number one worst signer as he has been seen taunting fans who ask for his autograph—a real disappointment considering he used to be so nice to his fans. You’ll learn more details like this about what your favorite stars are like to fans seeking autographs when the cameras are not rolling.  

From our judges in California, New York and Europe who have spent the last year observing how stars treat their fans, we compiled the most accurate list possible. Keep in mind that even the best signers sometimes don't sign, the worst occasionally do, and that just because they're on the worst list doesn't mean they're bad people. They're just bad signers.
