Fire up “I’m Gonna Be Somebody”, “Who’s Johnny”, and the Police Academy march! We’ve just secured a guest who didn’t just rule your local video rental store, he completely dominated the theater box office for an entire decade! The incredible Steve Guttenberg is reporting for duty SATURDAY ONLY at Retro Con 2026 this September in Oaks, PA!

When it comes to 1980s comedy, few actors left a bigger fingerprint on the decade than Steve Guttenberg! For an entire generation of movie fans, he’ll forever be remembered as Carey Mahoney, the wisecracking troublemaker at the center of the Police Academy series. For four movies, Mahoney perfected the art of bending the rules, tormenting his superiors, and somehow turning every crisis into a win. In the process, he became one of the most iconic comedy heroes of the decade!

And of course Mahoney was only one stop on an incredible career! Guttenberg also starred as inventor Newton Crosby in the 1986 classic Short Circuit, where he helped unleash the input-loving robot Johnny 5 on the world. He also had a dramatic turn in the landmark tv event The Day After, starred in the beloved sci-fi film Cocoon, helped make ‘Three Men and a Baby’ one of the biggest box-office hits of the 1980s, was part of the acclaimed ensemble cast of Diner (1982), headlined the supernatural comedy High Spirits, and appeared in countless other film and television projects over the past 40+ years!

So whether you grew up quoting Johnny 5, binging Police Academy marathons, or just lived on a steady diet of peak ‘80s movie magic, this is your chance to meet one of the defining faces of the decade, live and in person at Retro Con 2026!!
