Rimmer is the snobbish self centered Hologram who was killed by a radiation leak on Red Dwarf.  He is pretty much a failure at everything with delusions of grandeur.  Chris Barrie, who plays Rimmer is once again the opposite of Rimmer.  We have met Chris on a couple of occasions, the first time we gave him his figure which he thought was really cool and got our photo which was awful!  Completely blurry and of no use.  So when we met him again at Emcon, we asked if he could just hold a figure so we could get another pic, and he was more than happy to oblige.  What a really nice guy!
