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!
Paul Eiding to attend Retro Con 2023!
“Ultra Magnus! A cursory evaluation of Decepticon capabilities indicates a distinct tactical deficiency!”
In other words… Please welcome voice actor Paul Eiding to our guest list for Retro Con 2023! =D
Paul is best known to the retro 80’s crowd as the voice of Perceptor on G1 Transformers! The mighty microscope was a regular character in season 2 of the cartoon, as well as appearing in Transformers: The Movie (1986), and was one of only a handful of classic characters to be carried over to Season 3 of the show. He was also known as “That Transformer toy everyone had” back in the day…
Paul also provided the english dubbed voice for Colonel Roy Campbell in the Metal Gear Solid series from 1998 to 2008 (as well as voicing the character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl)! If you played these games, you’ll be well acquainted with Paul’s cries of panic upon your mission failure. “What’s wrong? Snake! SNAAAAAKE!”
You’ve also heard Paul as the voice of cool grandpa Max Tennyson in the popular Ben 10 cartoon series, and numerous alien characters on the show! He also played ‘No-Zone’ on Toxic Crusaders, Scorp on Challenge of the GoBots, Raider Rath on Sky Commanders, Jonathan Kent on several recent Superman OAVs, and numerous other animated roles. He’s also voiced scores of characters in video games series such as Starcraft, Diablo, Ninja Gaiden, God of War, Elder Scrolls, Ratchet & Clank, Fallout, and on and on…
Paul has done on-screen work as well, and played show regular Don ‘King of Carpets’ Miller on the 80’s guilty-pleasure sitcom ‘The Charmings’! Come on, you know you watched it…
We’ve known Paul for a long time, and we’re excited to finally be bringing him to Retro Con!
