There aren't really that many actors this year. Some of my problem stems from actors from older shows I missed before coming around again. And because of the level of draw they all seem to be having individual panels all at the same time. Thppppppppp of course part of the over schedule is to list every panel someone is in so if you miss one you can try and catch another. The really funny ( ironic ) part is that even though we will both have 5 things scheduled for a particular slot we may still go see something completely off script, just 'cause.
Across twitter the big draws seem to be Falling Skies and Lost Girl. Funny that Falling Skies has never been in attendance at Dragon Con before and this was the summer I just started watching it. I feel like they are here just for me.
Here's some of the major draws I decided to list out. Most are on my Guests of Dragon Con twitter list.
- Patrick Stewart Star Trek "John Luc Picard"
- Walter Koenig Star Trek "Checkov"
- Gates McFadden Star Trek "Doctor Beverly"
- Karl Urban Star Trek Reboot "Bones", Almost Human "Detective John Kennex"
- Colin Cunningham Jpod "Young Steven" Falling Skies "John Pope"
- Scarlett Byrne Falling Skies
- Drew Roy Falling Skies "Hal Mason"
- Lani John Tupu Farscape "Crais"
- Gigi Edgley Farscape "Chiana"
- Ron Glass Firefly "Preacher"
- Adam Baldwin Firefly "Jane" Chuck "Casey"
- Grant Bowler Defiance "Joshua Nolan"
- Tony Curran Defiance "Datak Tarr"
- Mpho Koaho Defiance "Tommy"
- Jesse Rath Defiance "Alak Tarron"
- Julie Benz Angel "Darla" Defiance "Mayor Amanda Rosewater"
- Amy Acker Angel "Fred"
- J. August Richards Angel "Gunn"
- Katie Cassidy Arrow
- Katrina Law Arrow ""Nyssa Al Ghul"
- Caity Lotz Arrow "Sara Lance/Black Canary"
- Paul Blackthorne Arrow "Detective Quentin Lance" Dresden Files "Harry Dresden"
- Dresden Files - Jim Butcher (Author of the Novels)
Two of my fav nostalgia stars:
- Princess Bride - Cary Elwes
- Buckaroo Banzai/Robo Cop - Peter Weller
So here's the deal. I'm thinking Goals are to hit one Falling Skies panel, one Defiance Panel and one Farscape panel. Nice to hit would be Patrick Stewart, Firefly and Angel. The problem with those is their respective tracks are in hotels a block off the main three. So those tend to come down to how full they are and how tired I am.
*sigh* Dragon Con chaos is fast approaching....
