A son of anarchy is coming to Northern FanCon this May.
The organizers of the pop-culture convention are giving the Prince George public a chance to meet one of TV's hottest names. Some of the most fan-frenzied series on recent screens have involved this actor in prominent roles, and now he'll be prominent at CN Centre. Ryan Hurst wasn't just in Sons of Anarchy, he was one of the supporting stars with more than 50 episodes of screen time as Opie Winston.
He followed that up with a starring turn as Chick Hogan, a pivotal series regular on Bates Motel.
More critic's gold was struck when Hurst became a regular on the most popular WGN Network series of them all when he portrayed L'il Foster Farrell on Outsiders.
He was also a member of the cast in the movies We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson, Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks, Remember The Titans with Denzel Washington, Patch Adams with Robin Williams, and the Steven Spielberg mini-series Taken.
He contributed his voice to the animated hit movie Rango with Johnny Depp, and many more high-profile projects dating back to his first credit as Crunch Grabowski in Saved By The Bell.
His profile is about to get even grander when the new season of The Walking Dead turns a spotlight on a brand new character named Beta in a story arch called The Whisperers that got introduced this past week on the mega-popular series.
"We are super excited to bring Ryan Hurst to Prince George, he is a highly recognizable face for fans, he has been a big part of really respected projects, and they are projects that our regular Northern FanCon attendees have told us are important to them," said chief organizer Norm Coyne.
The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy are two of those series to which the local public have responded well.
"We have had so much success with Sons of Anarchy guests in the past," said Coyne.
"Kim Coates was one of our very first VIPs before FanCon even existed. Ron Perlman at the BCNE was another key guest star who worked with us early and helped us establish ourselves. They were pivotal to our future, so we have roots in Sons of Anarchy.
"We also had tremendous success with Alicia Witt, for example, and a lot of that had to do with her part on The Walking Dead, so that's another series that means a lot to local viewers. They bring that to Northern FanCon."
