There are some actors out there that are so iconic and important to a fan that well, you simply cannot remember your childhood without them. Some of us only have a few that they can think of, some of us have many, either way we all look forward to the possibility of someday meeting those silver screen heroes from days gone bye. 

I myself am in the latter category of what I mentioned, there are so many actors that brought me joy in my youth and one of the many reasons I love conventions is because of the fact it is a place to finally meet those people that inspired us and enthralled us growing up and Denver Comic Con has once again delivered a living legend, by announcing that Christopher Lloyd is coming to DCC 2015.

On a personal level, my first introduction to this man's fine acting work came from my favorite franchise, Star Trek. Specifically the third film The Search for Spock when Lloyd took up the role of Commander Kruge. He was a fascinating villain, and the first Klingon I ever came to know and it was a fine enough performance that I sought out much of his work over the years.  

In fact he was the initial reason I found myself wanting to watch the original Back to the Future and over the years I've really just come to realize that his ability to simply lose himself in a role, to truly become that character is what makes watching Christopher's work so absolutely enjoyable. I mean come on, the man BECAME Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, he simply oozes talent and it will be a great honor to shake his hand and see him in the flesh.

This is simply an incredible addition to Denver Comic Con's 2015 lineup, one that has actually made me more excited for this convention, if that's even possible, and it makes the wait for May all that more difficult because I cannot wait to see Christopher Lloyd at DCC. 

Of all the fandoms I have come to know over the years, there is one that still remains my favorite through and through, Star Trek. I love how well this series continues to inspire people around the world with its message of hope and a better future.  

Heck, I remember the time when Trek ruled the landscape of all fandoms not that long ago with the movies doing well on the big screen and at least two television series playing out on the air, it was a wonderful time to be a fan of the 24th Century.  So of course, leave it to Denver Comic Con to continue their proud tradition of respect and diversity of all fandoms by bringing another legend from the Federation to Denver with Garrett Wang.

For those who are unfamiliar with Garrett, he played Ensign Harry Kim on the iconic Star Trek: Voyager during its seven season run on television. Kim was an important character to the show since well, Voyager was his first mission in Starfleet and what a tough one to get seeing as to how the ship was lost in space, 70 years away from home, giving his character a unique perspective on life in deep space. 

He quickly became a fan favorite thanks to an honest portrayal of a Starfleet rookie without a clue how to proceed and we literally watched him go from unsure greenhorn to seasoned veteran before our eyes and that's all thanks to Garrett's fine acting skills bringing this character to life.  It's a great honor to see another fantastic Star Trek guest coming to Denver this year, and I cannot wait to meet the Ensign in person come May! 

If there's something I've noticed when it comes to the many conventions out there, it's that sometimes you see guests that come back year after year, becoming something of a fixture at that convention and I think that's one of the biggest compliments a convention can get. 

It means that not only did that guest have an amazing time the first time they came to said convention, they have a great time year after year and Denver Comic Con is certainly no exception to this proud tradition with the announcement of the return of another iconic guest, The Incredible Hulk himself, Lou Ferrigno.  

For those unfamiliar with Mister Ferrigno and his career, Lou is a comic book legend having played the part of the Incredible Hulk in the 1978 television series of the same namesake and well, he was nothing short of incredible. In a time where CGI was an expensive venture and practical effects ruled the land, Lou was simply imagination come to life. While the show itself was actually amazing as well and filled with a quality plot, production values and solid acting, I know we all wanted to see one thing, the Hulk, and Lou made the part his own. 

Of course Lou has had a rich career following the show as well, showing up on television shows like The King of Queens and Chuck, plus you can even hear his voice acting work on Adventure Time, but he has never turned his back on the role that made him famous.  After all he even showed up in Marvel's first big screen adaptation of the character with a cameo in Hulk, and he continues to lend his voice to the character, reprising the role vocally in the 1996-1997 animated series The Incredible Hulk and in both Avengers motion pictures. 

Regardless, I think it's fantastic that Lou enjoyed his time at Denver Comic Con 2014 enough that he is coming back for 2015 and I certainly hope he becomes a yearly mainstay at the convention where we can all just swing by and say hello to this comic book legend.  Can't wait to see him again in May!
