Jumping to Hyperspace to Singing With All the Colors of the Wind: Notable Actors at Salt Lake Comic Con Had Things to Say. (Among Them Was Tony Todd — He’s Promoting the First Autistic Superhero.) Rhett Wilkinson Follow Aug 3, 2019 · 3 min read

Actors & actresses of Chewbacca, Pocahantas, Luke Cage and several more characters spoke with Geeks Against Trump at Spring FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention 2019. And Tony Todd (“Candyman”) announced that he is stumping the first autistic superhero, courtesy of Focus Comic.

Before asking to not be recorded, Joonas Suotamo (“Star Wars”) said that each of the four films where he has played Chewbacca have been equally enjoyable, and that working with “Star Wars” actors Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher was great.

Aimee Garcia (“Lucifer”) said she turned into a complete fan when first on set with Charlize Theron for “The Addams Family,” even giving a courtsy to her.

Though he didn’t know it before starting to work on the show, Mark Pellegrino spoke of “Supernatural” touching him personally because it deals with divided families and he is an orphan.

Before declining to an interview, Mike Colter, who played the protagonist Luke Cage in the film of the same name, said that he has enjoyed being able to work with Deon Taylor, the director of the film “Black and Blue,” for the film. “Black and Blue” is currently in post-production.

Seth Gilliam of “The Walking Dead” would not say that the show is in its last season, as was incorrectly questioned, and said he is glad for the high-profile acting opportunities the show has given him.

Between pulling up her sleeveless top, Adelaide Kane (“Once Upon a Time,” “The Purge”) said photography for the “The Swing of Things” film, which she was in, wrapped in just a month.

Irene Bedard, who played “Pocahantas” in the film of the same name, said it was not hard to bring back the character in “Ralph Breaks the Internet” because the character “never left (her).” (A scene in the film features Pocahantas and other Disney princesses.) Passionate about Native American issues, Bedard has also worked in the past year on “Scalped,” “Heartland,” “The Heart Stays,” “The Bygone” and “The Wind of Heaven.”

Todd visited South Africa for a fourth time for “Bulletproof 2,” whose director, Don Michael Paul, he applauded. And Focus Comic and Todd have partnered for the promotion of the protagonist. Focus Comic has Marvel comic book artists on its team.

Even if you no longer affiliate with the LDS church but enjoy sociality with family and friends as before, you can still find social settings organized by the Utah Valley PostMormons. There, you can find your people. And of course, if you don’t enjoy those relationships like before, the many UVPM events that happen each week can be even life-saving.

Led by wonderful people, UVPM is also for folks who just are struggling with it or are “never Mormons” seeking a break from the predominant culture. Find their events on Facebook and Meetup.
