Take a trip to Nastyville! Meet tag team duo Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags at Retro Con 2024, aka… The Nasty Boys!!
Sometimes wrestling as “faces”, usually as “heels”, but ALWAYS larger than life, these brash hardcore punk brawlers have tangled with the likes of the Steiner Brothers, Legion of Doom, the Rockers, Hart Foundation, Sgt. Slaughter, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and numerous other classic wrestlers of the era! You can catch the boys in matches from the AWA, WCW, and WWF/WWE throughout the 80’s and 90’s.
Meet the duo at Retro Con 2024, September 7th & 8th in Oaks, PA!
Meet Michael Bell at Retro Con 2024!

Yoooo Joe! If anyone is qualified to take over Neil Ross’ spot on our guest list, it’s this man! Please welcome veteran voice actor Michael Bell to Retro Con 2024!
An actor of more than 50 years, one of Michael’s most popular characters is field commander Conrad “Duke” Hauser on the classic 80’s cartoon GI Joe: A Real American Hero by Marvel/Sunbow Productions! In addition to playing Duke, Michael also voiced Major Bludd, Scrap-Iron, Xamot, Clutch, Tollbooth, and Blowtorch on the show. He reprised his Duke role for the very last scene of GI Joe Renegades in 2010, and for a hilarious GI Joe parody episode of Community in 2014!
Michael was also a big part of the original Transformers cartoon, celebrating its astounding *40th Anniversary* this year! Michael voiced such well-known characters on the show as Prowl, Scrapper, Sideswipe, Bombshell, First Aid, and Swoop! “Me Swoop no see nothing!” He also reprised the characters of Sideswipe and Scrapper for the Transformers: Devastation video game in 2015, and Prowl for a recent 40th Anniversary re-recording of the very first episode of Transformers!
Other notable characters Michael voiced include Lance and Sven on Voltron, Zan, Gleek, and the Riddler on Super Friends, Drew Pickles and Chas Finster on Rugrats, the title character in Ruby-Spears’ Plastic Man cartoon, “The Fear” in Metal Gear Solid 3, Raziel in The Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series, Handy, Lazy, and Grouchy on The Smurfs, Bruce Banner on The Incredible Hulk, Allstar Seaworthy on Snorks, Mark on Speed Buggy, Lawrence in the Ratchet & Clank series, and way too many more to list!
Michael also provided dubbing work on the original 1977 Star Wars, voicing General Willard on Yavin 4, and he overdubbed Peter Criss’ dialogue in the infamous TV movie ‘KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park’!
You may have also see Michael Bell on-screen! Look for him on classic tv shows such as Three’s Company, Star Trek: TNG and DS9, the Monkees, CHiPs, Get Smart, Mission Impossible, M*A*S*H, and Charlie’s Angels!

Meet Catherine Mary Stewart at Retro Con 2024!

“Starlite, Starbrite… The place where Alex and Maggie left for the stars!”
We’re celebrating the 40th Anniversary of The Last Starfighter in style… Please welcome Catherine Mary Stewart to our guest list for Retro Con 2024!
Catherine played Maggie Gordon in the 80’s sci-fi classic The Last Starfighter, fellow resident of Starlite Starbrite trailer park, and sensible girlfriend of Alex Rogan. “Mags” shared several heartfelt scenes with Alex, as well as several comical scenes with Alex’s simuloid Beta Unit (also played by Lance Guest). Endearing characters such as Maggie helped elevate what was ostensibly a “copycat” of Star Wars, to a beloved 80’s staple with an identity and personality all its own.
“Here’s Chuck… *pours dust out of shoe*” Catherine also starred as Reggie Belmont in the sci-fi horror comedy Night of the Comet, another cult favorite from 1984! A comet wipes out most life on Earth, leaving two sisters from the Valley to survive against cannibalistic zombies and a sketchy group of scientists. It’s a fun romp, and an unapologetically 80’s time capsule of a movie!
You can also see Catherine in the hit 1989 dark comedy Weekend at Bernie’s, where she played Richard’s office crush Gwen Saunders, who inadvertently gets caught up in the melee. She was also in the trippy movie The Apple (1980), had a longtime role as Kayla Brady on Days of Our Lives, and continues to be active in the entertainment industry today!
Catherine Mary Stewart joins her Last Starfighter co-star Lance Guest at Retro Con 2024, September 7th & 8th in Oaks, PA! She’ll be available for autographs and photo ops all weekend, and she and Lance will be having a Q&A panel together at the show (day and time TBD)!

Meet Lance Guest at Retro Con 2024!

“Greetings, Starfighter! You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada…”
Get ready to unleash Death Blossom! Meet the Last Starfighter himself at Retro Con 2024… Lance Guest!
Lance is of course best known for playing Alex Rogan in the 1984 movie The Last Starfighter! An ambitious young man living in the Starlite Starbrite trailer park, Alex beats the record on the local Starfighter arcade game one evening, and is unwittingly drafted into a real-life battle of intergalactic proportions! Coming out in the wake of the Star Wars series, The Last Starfighter is one of the earliest films to use extensive CGI for its vehicles, space settings, and battle scenes. Though antiquated by contemporary CGI standards, the scenes still have their visual charm today!
The movie wasn’t the franchise-starter that Universal Pictures wanted, but later found its audience on home video and cable tv. With endearing characters, cool tech and alien designs, a triumphant soundtrack, and a fun lighthearted tone, the movie has gone on to become a perennial 80’s classic, and celebrates its 40th Anniversary this year! This is a personal favorite of the Retro Con crew, and we have fond memories of watching the movie constantly on the local cable channel “PRISM” back in the day (deep cut for you Philly natives).
You can also catch Lance as paramedic Jimmy in Halloween II, Mike Brody in Jaws: The Revenge, as well guest starring on tv shows such as X-Files, The Wonder Years, House, Jericho, and many more!
Meet Lance Guest at Retro Con 2024, September 7th & 8th in Oaks, PA! He’ll be available for autographs and photo ops, and will also be having a Q&A at the show!
Meet Lindsay Wagner at Retro Con 2024!

It’s a bionic reunion! Please welcome the always lovely LINDSAY WAGNER to Retro Con 2024, September 7th & 8th in Oaks, Pennsylvania!
Lindsay Wagner first rose to prominence with her iconic Emmy award-winning role of Jaime Sommers on both The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman! A professional tennis player critically injured in a skydiving accident, Jaime was rebuilt with cybernetics to give her bionic legs, bionic right arm, and amplified hearing. And much like Colonel Steve Austin, was utilized for secret high-risk government missions using her special abilities.
The character was only intended to have a brief run on the Six Million Dollar Man, but proved so popular that she was immediately brought back to the show and greenlit for her own spin-off series! With famous tv producer/writer Kenneth Johnson at the helm, The Bionic Woman show had a slightly different flavor to it’s Six Million Dollar Man counterpart. While dozens of episodes had a serious tone and emotional punch, the show also frequently embraced sci-fi fantasy elements and campiness at times. Mad scientists, aliens, ghosts, supercomputers, doppelgangers, and of course multiple run-ins with Fembots… this show was a lot of fun!
Lindsay has also starred and guest starred in numerous feature films, TV movies, mini-series, and tv shows over the years, such as The Paper Chase, Nighthawks, The Fall Guy, Ricochet, Warehouse 13, NCIS, and Grey’s Anatomy. And she even reunited with Lee Majors to film a trio of “Bionic Reunion” tv movies in the late 80’s and early 90’s!
Lindsay is also a published author, and is heavily involved in causes that are close to her heart, including animal welfare, domestic violence, the environment, and the advancement of human potential. More recently Lindsay has combined her personal experience and many years of study to develop ‘Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart’ workshops and retreats. She also enjoys mentoring younger actors through her classes, which cover acting and camera techniques.
LINDSAY WAGNER reunites with her bionic co-star LEE MAJORS at Retro Con 2024, September 7th & 8th in Oaks, PA! She’ll be at the show both days for autographs and photo ops (both at-table and pro photo options), and she’ll be part of a Q&A at the show. Prices will be posted up on the website soon!

Meet Lee Majors at Retro Con 2024!

Retro Con is going bionic this year!! Please welcome the legendary LEE MAJORS to Retro Con 2024, September 7th & 8th in Oaks, Pennsylvania!
Lee Majors’ career has spanned an amazing 60 years, quickly becoming a household name when he was cast as the rugged Heath Barkley on the hit wild west series ‘The Big Valley’ in 1965. The show ran for 4 seasons and 112 episodes and is one of the best remembered westerns of the era.
“We can rebuild him… We have the technology…”
Majors shot to even bigger star status in 1973 when was cast in the lead role of Colonel Steve Austin on ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’! Critically wounded during a NASA test flight, Steve Austin was rebuilt with bionic implants to give him superhuman strength, speed, and vision. *cue theme song with slow motion shots and bionic sound effects* The series was a massive sci-fi hit of the era, and forever remembered for such awesome episodes as Steve going up against doppelganger robots, the menacing Death Probe tank, and of course his epic showdowns with the goliath Bigfoot! And we would be remiss to not mention its popular spin-off show ‘The Bionic Woman’ starring Lindsay Wagner!
The show also inspired The Six Million Dollar Man action figure by Kenner, one of the most iconic toys of all time! With signature red tracksuit, roll-back “skin” on his right arm, bionic lifting action, and of course his wide-angle bionic eye you could look through, this was THE toy to have in the mid-1970s!! Lee even got to voice his own figure for a nostalgia-fueled ‘Happy Honda Days’ campaign in 2018!
Lee headlined another huge hit in the 80’s on the popular action series ‘The Fall Guy’! Lee played Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stuntman that moonlighted as a bounty hunter with the help of a few friends, and of course his souped-up GMC pickup truck! The show’s opening theme, the “Unknown Stuntman”, was even sung by Majors himself! The series is about to get a big budget movie adaptation releasing in May starring Ryan Gosling. Rumor has it Lee may even be making an appearance in it…
And in an inspired piece of casting, Lee was brought on to play Brock Williams, father of Ash Williams, on the cable series ‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’! An immediate hit with Evil Dead fans, Majors played a character extremely different to any he played before. The show ended too soon after only three seasons, and is sorely missed, though rumors persist of an animated revival.
“At 7 o’clock! Psychos seize Santa’s workshop, and only Lee Majors can stop them!” And who could forget Lee Major’s role as Santa Claus’ protector in the classic 1988 Christmas film ‘The Night the Reindeer Died’? (If You Know, You Know!)
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to meet pop culture icon Lee Majors at Retro Con 2024, September 7th & 8th in Oaks, PA! Lee will be signing autographs at his table all weekend (prices to be posted soon), but his photo ops will be *PRO PHOTOS ONLY*. We’ll get those details squared away soon and will post up purchase links as soon as we can.
Meet Anson Williams at Retro Con 2024!

You can’t have Ralph Malph without his partner in crime! Please welcome Anson Williams to Retro Con 2024, September 7th & 8th in Oaks, Pennsylvania!
Anson is best known for playing Warren “Potsie” Weber on the iconic television sitcom Happy Days, celebrating its unbelievable 50th anniversary this year! Often gullible but also loveable, Potsie was Richie Cunningham’s clean-cut best friend in the early days of the show, later being paired with Ralph Malph as the series moved on. Anson was featured on all eleven seasons of the show, and was also the show’s resident singer, with Potsie often carrying a tune at Arnold’s/Al’s Drive-In and other locales.
Anson is also an accomplished director, helming episodes of Hercules, Xena, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, Just the Ten of Us, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, Charmed, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch (in which Anson also cameoed as Potsie!).
Anson Williams joins fellow Happy Days co-star and good friend Don Most at Retro Con 2024! They’ll be signing both days and will be having a co-panel together. Catch two cast members from one of the greatest sitcoms from a simpler time!
Meet Don Most at Retro Con 2024!

He’s still got it! Don Most will be appearing at Retro Con 2024, September 7th & 8th in Oaks, Pennsylvania! Don is of course best known for playing Ralph Malph on the legendary sitcom Happy Days, celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year!
Jokester. Prankster. Girl chaser. Fraidy cat. Ralph wore many hats on the show. Part of Richie’s close circle of friends, Ralph would regularly get caught up in the gang’s (usually) innocent hijinks every week. Fancying himself king of the one-liners, Ralph typically only managed to crack himself up. The character would later enlist in the US Army along with Richie, marking Don’s departure from the series in season 8. But he would later return for a very notable two-parter in season 11!
Don also worked as a voice actor on several cartoons in the 1980’s, voicing his own character Ralph on ‘The Fonz & the Happy Days Gang’, as well as “Stiles” on the Teen Wolf cartoon. But Don’s biggest animated role was of course that of resident doomsayer “Eric the Cavalier” on the wildly popular 80’s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon! Though often coming off as cowardly and insensitive, deep down Eric had a heart of gold and would routinely save his friends from danger with his magic shield force field. Don’s brilliant performance made Eric another fan favorite on the show.
Don also guest-starred on numerous classic tv shows over the decades, such as Star Trek: Voyager where he played the unscrupulous Doctor Kadan, as well as parts on Sliders, Emergency!, Charles in Charge, Murder She Wrote, the Love Boat, Baywatch, and CHiPs where he played demonic goth rock star ‘Moloch’!
In more recent years, Don returned to his first love… music! Donny has always appreciated the swing and big band style of music, and now he delights audiences on tour with a unique show that fuses the swing era with Fifties cool!

Meet Voice Actor Neil Ross at Retro Con 2024!

We’re kicking off our guest list with a voice acting great… Please welcome the esteemed Neil Ross to Retro Con 2024!
A fifty plus year veteran of voiceovers and radio, Neil has so many classic characters under his belt, it’s tough to pick a foremost role! He played unruly swabbie Shipwreck on the hit 80’s cartoon series GI Joe: A Real American Hero, one of the most popular Joes on the show. He also voiced other featured characters on the program such as Dusty, Buzzer, and Monkeywrench, as well as incredulous reporter Hector Ramirez, who is notable for being a crossover character in GI Joe, Transformers, Jem, and Inhumanoids!
Neil was also a big part in the Generation 1 Transformers cartoon, with his largest role being the rugged Autobot Springer in season 3 of the show. He also voiced surly Dinobot Slag, Hook and Bonecrusher of Constructicons/Devastator fame, Crosshairs, Pointblank, and Sixshot!
“And I’ll form… the head!” Switching over to Voltron, Neil played two of the main characters on the popular ‘Lion Force’ version of the show- Commander Keith and Pidge! He reprised the role of Keith for Voltron: The Third Dimension, and also voiced Voltron himself in a nostalgia-fueled “Happy Honda Days” series of commercials back in 2018.
Neil had another popular role in the 1990’s where he played the demented Green Goblin on the 1994 Spider-Man TV series, reaching a whole new generation of fans! You may also have heard Neil as Clyde in the 1982 Pac-Man cartoon, Leoric on Visionaries, Ace McCloud on Centurions, Herc Armstrong on Inhumanoids, FLUFFI on Bionic Six, Dr. Doom on Fantastic Four, the Clamp building announcer in Gremlins 2, and he voiced the title character in Rambo: The Force of Freedom! Yes, we had to include the image of Rambo riding on the back of a great white shark in Neil’s promo pic…
It’s been a full eleven years since Neil has been at Retro Con, and we’re looking forward to showing him how much we’ve grown since then. And we’re hoping you’ll come out to meet him too!
Neil has written his own autobiography entitled Vocal Recall: A Life in Radio and Voiceovers, chronicling his upbringing in the UK, time in the military, and his long career in the voiceover realm. You can buy it directly on his website, with net proceeds donated to Broadcasters Foundation of America & The Actors Fund!
