Denver Comic Con 2015 Guest Spotlight: Christopher Lloyd

Written by John Edward Betancourt

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.
