Three Powerhouse Franchises Represented As 'Terminator 2,' 'Power Rangers,' 'Supernatural' Standouts To Appear at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
ROSEMONT, Ill. - illiNews -- Wizard World Chicago today announced the addition of three popular guests from hugely successful franchises, as Robert Patrick (Terminator 2), Jason David Frank ("Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers") and Mark Sheppard ("Supernatural," "Battlestar Galactica") bolstered the celebrity roster for the event, set for October 15-17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.
The trio are scheduled to appear all three days, when they will greet fans, sign autographs, pose for photo ops and conduct Q&A panels and potentially other special events.
Patrick portrayed "T-1000," the android assassin in the 1991 blockbuster, opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. It was a breakout role for the young actor, who has gone on to more than 150 film and TV roles, including regular stints on "True Blood" and "Sons of Anarchy" as well as Last Action Hero and Fire in the Sky.

Frank is best known as the Green Power Ranger, though he has portrayed others in the action series. A martial arts enthusiast, Frank has appeared in dozens of iterations of the franchise and has been a frequent Wizard World guest.
