Often I will have the opportunity to work in live appearance projects in costume. For helping promote the release of The Avengers on Blu-Ray, Marvel hired many of us to work at various high-traffic retail outlets to meet and interact with customers.
I had the pleasure of suiting up as Captain America, in the neatest version of the costume designed for the character- his battle suit from the 1940s. I met, signed autographs, handed out cards, and took dozens of photos with wide-eyed kids and chuckling parents.
I also had a supportive spouse come along for a photo, too!
Thanks to the talent costume builders at Shafton, Inc. for the use of their costume, and the Marvel Character Appearance Program.
