Meet Jason Faunt at Retro Con 2026!
Get ready, Ranger fans! Jason Faunt is officially joining the guest lineup for Retro Con 2026!
Power Ranger fans will know Jason as Wesley “Wes” Collins in Power Rangers Time Force! Faunt’s portrayal took Wes from a reluctant outsider to a fully realized hero who learns to stand against fate itself in order to protect the future. Alongside him, fans also got Alex Collins, the original Red Time Force Ranger from the future, whose calm, calculated leadership created one of the franchise’s most interesting dual-role dynamics. Faunt later reprised Wes across Wild Force, Super Megaforce, and Super Ninja Steel.
Outside the Morphin Grid, Jason also made his mark in the Resident Evil franchise. He provided motion capture for Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 6, and the animated film Resident Evil: Vendetta, helping shape the physical performance of one of gaming’s most iconic heroes!
He’s also stepping into the cape and cowl of the Dark Knight in the upcoming fan film ‘Batman vs Shredder’, a cinematic crossover that pits 1992 Keaton-era Batman up against the 1990 TMNT movie version of Shredder! Created by Bat in the Sun Productions, the team behind the popular Super Power Beat Down series, the project is set to deliver the studio’s signature style of fast-paced, expertly choreographed combat, practical effects, and gritty tone.
From Time Force legend to motion-capture hero to rising Dark Knight. Don’t miss Jason Faunt this September at Retro Con 2026!
Meet Angela Cartwright at Retro Con 2026!
We’re delighted to welcome the wonderful Angela Cartwright to Retro Con 2026 in Oaks, PA! A beloved face from some of the most iconic family entertainment ever created, Angela’s career spans timeless film, classic television, and a creative journey that fans continue to celebrate today.
Many first discovered Angela as Brigitta von Trapp in ‘The Sound of Music’, where she played the most spirited and outspoken members of the von Trapp family. Surrounded by an unforgettable ensemble cast, the film remains one of the most cherished musicals of all time, filled with legendary songs and heartwarming storytelling that continues to resonate across generations.
But of course sci-fi fans know Angela best for her role as Penny Robinson on Lost in Space! The smart and imaginative middle child of the Robinson family, Penny had a penchant for alien life forms, especially her “Bloop” companion Debbie. With classic archetypal characters and that distinctive 60’s aesthetic, Lost in Space holds a staunch fanbase to this day.
Beyond acting, Angela has built an impressive career as an artist. Her work often reflects her life in Hollywood, blending photography, mixed media, and personal storytelling. Fans of Lost in Space will especially appreciate her beautifully crafted photo memoir book “Lost (and Found) in Space 2”, which she created alongside her show co-star Bill Mumy. This book offers a heartfelt, behind-the-scenes look at the series through rare photos and personal memories, and is the ultimate keepsake for those who love the original 1960’s TV show.
Angela will be reunited with some very familiar faces at Retro Con! She’ll be joining her Sound of Music co-star Nicholas Hammond at the show, as well as her Lost in Space co-star Bill Mumy, making this an incredible opportunity for fans to celebrate two legendary productions all in one place!

Meet Bill Mumy at Retro Con 2026!
“It’s a good thing… a REAL good thing” we did! We’re excited to welcome the one and only Bill Mumy to Retro Con 2026 for a rare east coast convention appearance! With a career spanning the golden age of television, genre-defining sci-fi, and an eclectic music career, Bill Mumy is a true multi-talented entertainer whose work has captivated fans for decades!
Fans of the Twilight Zone will instantly recognize Bill as the all-powerful and disturbing six year-old Anthony Fremont in the iconic episode “It’s a Good Life”. Often ranked among the greatest episodes in television history, its legacy proved so strong that Bill returned to the role four decades later in a 2003 sequel episode “It’s Still a Good Life”. So be good, smile, and think happy thoughts… or else it’s off to the cornfield with you!
“Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!” And of course sci-fi fans know Bill most as pop culture icon Will Robinson from the classic 1960’s TV series ‘Lost in Space’! As the youngest member of the Jupiter 2 crew, Will became the emotional heart of the series- Brave, curious, and always at the center of the adventure. His friendship with the Robot, and his unforgettable back-and-forth with Dr. Smith, created some of the most enduring moments in sci-fi history.
In the 1990s, Bill returned to the genre in a completely different way as Minbari aide Lennier on Babylon 5. Quiet, thoughtful, and deeply loyal, Lennier’s journey added emotional depth and complexity to the series, proving Bill’s remarkable range as an actor.
And beyond acting, Bill’s musical career is just as impressive! His latest acoustic album “Will Power” just dropped in March 2026, he has collaborated with the band ‘America’ for over thirty years, and continues to perform as part of the rock trio ‘Action Skulls’. And fans of offbeat tunes will also know him as one half of ‘Barnes & Barnes’, the infamous duo behind the bizarre cult hit “Fish Heads”! This earworm of a song premiered in 1978 and became the most requested song of all time on The Dr. Demento Show!
This is an extremely rare East Coast appearance for Bill Mumy, his first in the region since 2018, and his only scheduled appearance on this coast! So don’t miss your chance to meet a true legend of television, sci-fi, and music at Retro Con 2026!!
Bonus: Bill will also be performing a limited-ticket concert in our panel room on Saturday evening after Retro Con has closed for the day! This special concert is being handled by his event agent, and you can find more details here:

Meet Phil LaMarr at Retro Con 2026!
Get ready, Retro fans! The amazing Phil LaMarr is coming to Retro Con 2026, September 12th & 13th in Oaks, PA! From sci-fi laughs to action-packed heroics, Phil’s voice has been part of some of the most iconic animated series ever made!
Futurama fans know Phil best as Hermes Conrad, the perpetually overworked Planet Express bureaucrat (and Olympic-level limbo champion) who somehow keeps the entire operation running with strict rules, endless paperwork, and just a touch of panic. Phil voiced other memorable characters on the show as well, such as the fiery sermon-delivering Preacherbot.
Phil is also the voice behind a powerhouse lineup of other fan-favorite characters! The stoic and heroic Samurai Jack, steadfast Green Lantern John Stewart on Justice League, Static on Static Shock, smooth Autobot Jazz on ‘Transformers Animated’, and Jedi Master Kit Fisto in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. You’ll also know him as Wilt from ‘Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends’, Hector Con Carne on ‘Evil Con Carne’, and Vamp in the Metal Gear Solid game series. He’s even the voice behind Ollie Williams on Family Guy! So if the Retro Con forecast suddenly becomes “IT’S GONNA RAIN!”, you’ll know who to blame…
Outside the recording booth, Phil was also a cast member on the hit sketch series MADtv for five seasons. He also played Marvin, the unfortunate backseat passenger of Jules’ and Vincent’s car, in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 classic Pulp Fiction. (If you know you know…)
Phil LaMarr joins his fellow Futurama co-star Billy West at Retro Con 2026! Don’t miss your chance to meet Phil at the show, grab an autograph or photo op, and hear some of your favorite voices live!
Meet Actor-Filmmaker Jennifer Blanc at Retro Con 2026!
Also joining Michael Biehn at Retro Con 2026 is his talented wife: Actor and filmmaker Jennifer Blanc!
Jennifer has built an impressive career across film and television, appearing in fan-favorite shows like Dark Angel, Party of Five, and Married… with Children. Genre fans may know her from films such as The Victim, Among Friends, The Divide, Everly, and The Night Visitor, while comedy fans may remember her appearance on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
In addition to her work in front of the camera, Jennifer has become a driving force behind the scenes as well. Together with husband Michael Biehn, she co-founded Blanc/Biehn Productions, producing a number of independent films including The Victim, Among Friends, Altered Perception, She Rises, and The Night Visitor 2.
From cult sci-fi television to indie horror filmmaking, Jennifer has become a familiar face across multiple genres, and you can meet her in person at Retro Con 2026!
Meet Actor Michael Biehn at Retro Con 2026!
Stay frosty and join us in welcoming Michael Biehn to Retro Con 2026, September 12th & 13th in Oaks, PA!
“Come with me if you want to live.” Michael Biehn first became a genre icon as Tech-Com Sergeant Kyle Reese in The Terminator (1984). As the battle-hardened soldier sent back in time to protect Sarah Connor from an unstoppable killing machine, Biehn brought grit, heart, and vulnerability to the role, turning what could have been a typical action hero into one of sci-fi’s most memorable protectors.
“Somebody wake up Hicks…” Michael later cemented his sci-fi icon status when he took on the role of Corporal Dwayne Hicks in the megahit sequel ‘Aliens’ in 1986! As a member of the Colonial Marines sent to investigate the lost colony on LV-426, Hicks quickly proves himself to be one of the unit’s most capable soldiers when the routine “bug hunt” they’re on turns sideways.
Michael also delivered a powerful performance as the deadly gunslinger Johnny Ringo in the classic 1993 western ‘Tombstone’. His intense rivalry with Doc Holliday builds toward one of the film’s most memorable confrontations, making Ringo one of the standout villains in a movie filled with legendary performances.
In addition to these iconic roles, fans will recognize Michael Biehn from many other films including The Abyss, Navy SEALs, and The Rock, plus an appearance on the hit Star Wars series The Mandalorian. He also continues to connect with fans through his podcast called “Just Foolin’ About with Michael Biehn”, where he shares stories from his career, and hosts conversations about film and pop culture with his peers from the industry.
Don’t miss your chance to meet Michael Biehn at Retro Con 2026 for autographs, photos, and stories from some of the most iconic films of the 1980s and 1990s! “Outstanding. Now all we need is a deck of cards…”
Meet Voice Actor Billy West at Retro Con 2026!
GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!
The legendary Billy West is officially heading to Retro Con 2026, September 12th & 13th in Oaks, PA! We’re thrilled to welcome one of the most versatile and prolific voice actors in history!
Billy’s work on Futurama is a masterclass in range, as he provides the voices for a huge portion of the Planet Express crew. He carries the heart of the show as the lazy time-displaced Philip J. Fry, as well as the genius/dangerous Professor Farnsworth, the inept but lovable Dr. Zoidberg, and the “distinguished” Zapp Brannigan. The show has called several networks its home since premiering in 1999, most recently Hulu where a new season will premiere this year!
Before he headed to the future, Billy was a cornerstone of the 90’s Nicktoons revolution! On The Ren & Stimpy Show, he brought “happy-happy, joy-joy” enthusiasm to our screens, voicing the dim-witted but lovable Stimpy J. Cat, and later the high-strung and temperamental Ren Höek. Fans will never forget the hilarity of Ren screaming “STIMPY, YOU EEDIOT!!” or the surreal adventures and visuals that pushed the boundaries of kids animation at the time.
Billy also provided the original heart and soul of Nickelodeon’s ‘Doug’, as both Doug Funnie and his rival Roger Klotz. This duality showcased his incredible ability to play both the relatable hero and the neighborhood bully in the same scene, making the show a timeless staple of 90’s nostalgia.
Billy also took on the mantle of animation royalty when he stepped into the role of the world’s most famous rabbit for the 1996 blockbuster Space Jam! Providing the voices for both Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, he helped lead the Tune Squad to victory against the fearsome Monstars.
Other roles you may have heard Billy in include “Red” in the M&M candy commercials, Buzz the Honey-Nut Cheerios bee, Slimer from ‘Extreme Ghostbusters’, Shaggy in ‘Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island’, Pidge on ‘Voltron: The Third Dimension’, Kraab on the original ‘Ben 10’, and literally hundreds more!
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet a true icon of the industry in person!
Meet Nicholas Hammond at Retro Con 2026!
Get ready, true believers… Spider-Man himself is swinging his way into town! We’re thrilled to welcome actor Nicholas Hammond to Retro Con 2026, September 12th & 13th in Oaks, PA!!
Nicholas belongs to one of the most exclusive clubs in pop culture history- he’s one of only a handful of actors to ever portray Spider-Man and Peter Parker in live-action! He starred as the famous web-slinger in the 1977 cult classic ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ TV series- long before CGI, cinematic universes, and multiverse madness. The show delivered charismatic actors, rooftop stunts, practical web-swinging effects, grounded villains, and that unmistakable 1970’s New York atmosphere. His legacy as Spider-Man still resonates today, celebrated with a recent Marvel Legends figure from Hasbro, as well as an instantly sold-out high-end figure from Hot Toys. (We’re still reeling from missing that one…)
And long before climbing walls, Nicholas hiked the Austrian Alps as eldest son Friedrich von Trapp in the timeless 1965 musical ‘The Sound of Music’! From disciplined cadet, to singing joyful harmonies for “Do-Re-Mi,” he helped bring one of the most beloved movie families of all time to life in a film that continues to capture hearts to this day.
Classic TV fans may also remember Nicholas as Doug Simpson on ‘The Brady Bunch’, aka the “big man on campus” who asks Marcia Brady out on a date- but coldly bails on it after she gets hit in the nose by the most infamous football throw in sitcom history.
And in a scene-stealing role, Nicholas appeared as exuberant movie director Sam Wanamaker in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ (2019). Proving that legends never go out of style- they just get cooler! “Think less hippie, more… Hells Angel! Vroom! Vroom-Vroom!!”
Nicholas Hammond’s career has spanned six decades of pop culture history, and now he’s bringing those stories to Retro Con 2026! Nicholas is coming to the show all the way from Sydney Australia, so don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet him!
Meet Keith Coogan at Retro Con 2025!
“We’re with you! ROCK AND ROLLLL!!”
Please welcome Keith Coogan as a late guest addition for Retro Con 2025!!
Keith Coogan was a staple of retro culture! He was in such popular movies as the 1987 classic Adventures in Babysitting, and the 1991 classic Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead! He also starred in the 90’s cult action flick Toy Soldiers, and had numerous tv appearances such shows as CHiPs and Knight Rider! He also voiced young Tod in the 1981 animated classic The Fox and the Hound!

“Dishes are done, man.”
Meet Star Wars actor John Morton at Retro Con 2025!
“Stand by, Dak!”
