CONCAROLINAS ANNOUNCES JEFFREY COMBS AS 2012 MEDIA GUEST OF HONOR
Fans of the Star Trek franchise will immediately recognize Jeffrey Combs as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Weyoun. But there is more to Jeffrey Combs than just his role as Weyoun. Jeffrey has over 50 feature films and countless television appearances including his role as Kevin Burkoff in the popular series The 4400. He is well known for his voiceover work in Transformers, Spiderman, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Justice League.
Few actors living today are truly icons. Jeffrey Combs is that rare breed of actor who has secured himself a spot in film history. Many claim him as the modern day Vincent Price. Bursting into the public consciousness with his riveting performance as Herbert West in the cult classic Re-Animator, over the years Jeffrey has carved out an enviable niche for himself as a true original.
Jeffrey, a native of the Central Coast region of California, spent years nurturing and honing his craft by attending acclaimed schools and working in regional theatre before pursuing film and television. He received his training at the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts and the Actor’s Training Program at the University of Washington in Seattle. He spent years in regional theatre performing at such notable venues as the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, Arizona Theatre Company in Tucson, AZ, the California Shakespearean Company, the Mark Taper Forum and South Coast Repertory where, in 1983, he won an LA Drama Critics Award.
ConCarolinas is a general multi-genre, multi-media convention. It is called a sci-fi convention but in truth it covers all speculative fiction - science fiction, fantasy and horror. ConCarolinas hosts a variety of fandom related events and guests, including gaming, discussion panels, costume events, music events like Klingon Karaoke, charity auction, SCA events, fan groups like the 501st Stormtroopers, Starfleet, and Klingon Assault Group, as well as something new and different every year.
