Even though Bill Hader played only a small role in the Star Wars sequel trilogy - working as a vocal consultant for droid BB-8 - fans and collectors are nevertheless still eager for his autograph.

But on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Hader just revealed that he will no longer sign Star Wars merch following an unsavory incident with an alleged "fan." He said:

"I do not sign them... Autograph people don't like me. I won't sign things... You know what it was? I used to sign stuff, and then one time I saw somebody and they had their kid come up to me to sign a BB-8 thing and it was three in the morning... I was leaving the Inside Out premiere and then we went to an after-party thing and it was super late and this guy kept his kid up all night. [He] was like, 'Go over there so he'll sign it so I can sell it online.' I was like, 'That's f**ked up.' So now, I just kind of blanket, like, I'm not signing any of this s**t."

Well, you can't argue with that.
