This week, we have the pleasure of announcing one of our guests... Mr. Richard Herd.
Mr. Herd is a prolific actor. Just look at some of the shows he's been in:

- V (the original miniseries)
- V: The Final Battle (also starring Ms. Sarah Douglas - another of this year's wonderful guests)

- Simon & Simon

- Star Trek (both The Next Generation and Voyager)
- SeaQuest DSV
- Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman
- Seinfeld
- Scarecrow & Mrs. King
Mr. Herd also was also in the movie "InAlienable" (completed just this year), written by Walter Koenig and starring Richard Hatch, both of whom are former guests of Mountain-Con. (Note: We will have the rare opportunity to view InAlienable during our convention this year.)
(For more information, check out Mr. Herd's page on IMDB and the official Richard Herd Web site.)
While attending Mountain-Con, Mr. Herd will conduct an auditions class for all those wishing to learn more about the auditions process. There is a fee for this class, and seating is limited. (Please see our Web site for details.)
The multi-talented Mr. Herd is also part of The Enterprise Blues Band, a group of former Star Trek actors and behind-the-scenes people. Check out the Enterprise Blues Band Web page here.
So...visit www.mountaincon.org for your tickets, links to the hotel, and scheduling information...and be on the lookout for additional guests to be announced over the next few weeks.

Sarah Douglas 
Although we may recognize her best as "Ursa", General Zod's right-hand woman in the first two Superman movies (starring Christopher Reeve), Ms. Douglas is an accomplished actress who has been in several of our favorite shows...
Some of Ms. Douglas's other science fiction, fantasy, and horror roles include:
- "Pamela" in V: The Final Battle (television series)
- "Queen Taramis" in Conan the Destroyer
- "Dr. Lana Zurell" in Return of the Swamp Thing
- "Lyranna Tagget" in Beastmaster 2
- "Elsa Toulon" in Puppet Master III
- "Lt. Col. Sinclair" in Return of the Living Dead III
- "B" in a Space 1999 episode
- "Lady Whitehurst" in an episode of The Wizard
- "Deathwalker/Jha'Dur" in an episode of Babylon 5
- "Yosuuf/Garshaw of Belote" in an episode of Stargate SG-1
Ms. Douglas also starred as "Pamela Lynch" on Falcon Crest, which ran for two years ('83 - '85) and has had several other guest starring roles on Magnum P.I., The Love Boat, The Return of The Saint, Matlock, Remington Steele, and many others.
Ms. Douglas has offered a very rare event she calls "An Evening with Sarah Douglas", which is an intimate gathering of people that lasts for about 90 minutes. It is a private event, and has never been held outside of England ... until now. "An Evening with Sarah Douglas" is a special event at Mountain-Con, and thus has an additional fee.
