Auckland Armageddon Expo 2018 – Panels

As always, there were some great celebrity guests at this years Armageddon Expo Auckland event. While we were sad to see that Alan Tudyk (K-2SO from Rogue One) couldn’t attend after being previously announced, there were plenty of other guests to see and panels to attend.

This year, we particularly enjoyed the Supernatural panels with Osric Chau, Jeffrey Vincent Parise, David Haydn-Jones, and Ty Olsson – the camaraderie between the actors was obvious, and made for a lot of fun. We also really enjoyed seeing The Hillywood Show return to New Zealand – this time they were celebrating their recently released Supernatural Parody 2, which fit well with the Supernatural actor panels. It coordinated really well having Osric Chau attending this year – he played a significant character on Supernatural, as well as being involved in several Hillywood parodies.

It was great to see Christina Ricci in person, and she gave some interesting insights into her long acting career, from her early roles in films including Casper, The Addams Family, and one of our personal favourites, Sleepy Hollow. As Stargate fans, it was a great pleasure to see Michael Shanks visiting NZ once again.

We are really looking forward to seeing the guest announcements for next years Auckland expo – fingers crossed for a Star Wars actor!
