I also got Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman's autograph. I didn't see their panel because it was during the Heroes panel, but I got the opporunity to get their autographs from a kind lady sitting in front of me. The signing session overlapped with panels she wanted to see, so she offerred it to me. I said no at first but my wife suggested I take it anyways and try to make it. And so I left the Heroes panel 10 minutes early and I barely made it to the signing. Liv and Scott were very nice...I could tell they were tired but they still smiled to me, shook my hand and made small talk. I was the last person in the session.
Here's the summary of panels I attended today. The descriptions are copied from the Comic-Con website:
