Shatner, Wright, Colter Latest Big Additions to FAN EXPO Cleveland, March 13-15
William Shatner (FAN EXPO HQ)
One of Hollywood's most recognizable figures for more than half a century, Shatner, 94, has thrilled millions in his varied career. From his international breakout role of "Captain Kirk" in the original Star Trek series-and its numerous incarnations-to famed "T.J. Hooker" in the 1980's up to the "Priceline" pitchman and space traveler of today, Shatner won Emmys and his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of eccentric lawyer "Denny Crane" on both The Practice and Boston Legal. He has received four more Emmy nominations as well as other Golden Globe and SAG Award nods.
Wright appeared as "Ginny Weasley" from the first installment of the franchise, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, in 2001 at age 10, through Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 a decade later. She directed and starred in a modern adaptation of A Christmas Carol and had co-starring roles in Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg, The Sea, and After the Dark, among her other credits.
Colter starred as the title character in Luke Cage, reprising the role he first played in Jessica Jones that proved so popular it needed its own series. He first gained wide acclaim for his role as "Big Willie Little" in the Clint Eastwood feature Million Dollar Baby in 2004, then had recurring spots in Ringer and American Horror Story and worked on Men in Black3 and Zero Dark Thirty.
