Don't Miss: In Conversation with Resident Alien

Sarah Douglas

An alien both in the U. S. and on screen, Sarah Douglas shares some of her adventures in Hollywood and personal memories in this evening of anecodotes and laughter. The blood and gore, the black holes, the bad hair ... it's all included in an informal evening with Sarah in conversation with her friends and fans. Previously only presented in the U. K., now you can be among those who attend Sarah Douglas's first ever U. S. get-together as she reminisces about her amazing career. This special event on Saturday evening is a separate charge from convention admission.  For $15 you can spend ninety minutes with Sarah, enjoy light refreshments, and get a unique souvenir of your evening with Ms. Douglas.  Reserve early; limited attendance.

Brandon Sanderson Mountain-Con welcomes Brandon Sanderson! Mr. Sanderson is an author of fantasy and science-fiction, including Elantris and The Mistborn Trilogy. His current project is A Memory of Light, Book Twelve of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. After Mr. Jordan's passing, Mr. Sanderson was asked to complete the series using Mr. Jordan's notes. Brandon Sanderson is treating the project with great respect. We hope that fans of both his work and Robert Jordan's will be in attendance to hear Mr. Sanderson speak about both A Memory of Light and about his own works and efforts as a writer.

Kevin Sorbo Mountain-Con welcomes Kevin Sorbo! Mr. Sorbo is best known for playing the Greek hero Hercules on both "Xena: Warrior Princess" and "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys".

He is also a golf enthusiast, so be sure to tell him where the best local golf courses are! Kevin Sorbo was the most-requested guest on our survey last year, and Mountain-Con is thrilled to have him joining us.

Scott Schwartz Mountain-Con welcomes Scott Schwartz! Mr. Schwartz is known in wrestling circles as "Joshua Ben-Gurion: The Israeli Commando". Mr. Schwartz's talents extend to more than wrestling and he's been in all three of the "Ocean's" movies, having the distinction of, in the role of Bruiser, getting to beat up on George Clooney. Scott has a reputation as "The Ultimate Bad Guy", and has played villains in such shows as "Charmed", "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer", "Married with Children", and "The Scorpion King". Other roles of Scott's include an Orion Guard in "Star Trek: Enterprise", Fat Ron in "Starsky and Hutch", Rex in "The Tick", Alpha Hirogen in "Star Trek: Voyager", and Manny in "Baywatch." At 6'10" Scott Schwartz may well tower over us, but we planned ahead and the ceilings in the Davis Conference Center should be more than high enough to accommodate. We understand that Mr. Schwartz loves children, and that he may well do several events for our KidCon.
