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!
