Sci-fi stars set for Scarborough
Tickets are on sale as two more big-name stars have been announced for the Scarborough Sci-Fi convention.
Sci-Fi Scarborough have announced two more guests for the popular convention next April – Ross O’Hennessy and the return of Netflix star Andrew Lee Potts. Ross O’Hennessy is an actor best known for playing ‘the Lord of Bones’ in HBO’s award winning series Game of Thrones.
Andrew Lee Potts is an English actor and director. He is best known for his role as the quirky dinosaur hunting Connor Temple on six seasons of ITV’s British science fiction programme ‘Primeval’ and The Mad Hatter on the SyFy’s mini-series ‘Alice’.
He is now a veteran TV actor and has been in a catalogue of some of the best in British and American television.
He is a series regular on the long-running programme ‘Ideal’ and Channel 4’s ‘The Mill’.
He played Jackson in Steven Spielberg’s ‘Band Of Brothers’ and most recently, roles in the late Stan Lee’s ‘Lucky Man’ for Sky One and New Netflix original, the supernatural show ‘The Innocents’ with Guy Pearce.
Event co-organiser Steve Dickinson “It’s always so cool when you land a Game of Thrones guest and this is no exception, Ross is a big character for sure!
“Speaking of which, it’s fantastic that Andrew is returning to SFS, such a popular guest and awesome guy.”
The pair will join another two stars of the screen at Scarborough Spa that have recently been announced.
Chris Rankin, who originates from Auckland, New Zealand, starred as Percy Weasley in the Harry Potter films, and will find his way to the convention.
Since landing his first role in Harry Potter, and subsequently appearing in six of the franchise’s films, Rankin has split his time amongst stage, screen, and television. His credits include television miniseries The Rotters’ Club and Victoria Cross Heroes.
Also on the bill is Hugo Myatt, the star of children’s ITV game series Knightmare, in which he played the role of Treguard of Dunshelm, the dungeon master throughout its eight-year run.
The event takes place on April 6 and April 7 at the Scarborough Spa, with all guests announced so far appearing on both days.
