These double- header guests will create truly special Turtles programming for your show with first hand knowledge of the beginnings of what has become a true pop  culture phenom!

As the head of SkyDog Productions, he produced Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius starring Jim Caviezel and Malcolm McDowell for Sony Pictures, while he also produced 65 episodes of “The Newz” for Columbia Tri-Star at Universal Studios.  And more good news for the Disney fans in your audience, he was also  the Supervising Producer of "Tarzan the Epic Adventures” as well as the Coordinating Producer for MTV/ABS’s “Making the Band.”

Is one panel enough!? When we add Bobby, the answer is probably "We need MORE time!"





Bobby Herbeck, himself  is in fact celebrating 50 years in the entertainment business as an actor, comedian writer and producer.  Some of his credits include appearances on fan favorites such as "Room 222," "Chips," "Small Wonder," "The Dick Clark Blupper Show," "Diff’rent Strokes," "The Jeffersons, " "The Carol Burnett Show," "MASH, " "42nd St. The Musical," and featured films such as Tora, Tora, Tora and  RPM with Anthony Quinn and Ann Margaret.

As a comedian, Herbeck is known as the “warm up king,” and has shared the stage with the likes of Conan O’Brian, Jimmy Buffet, Jim Belushi, Malcolm McDowell and Zac Brown, to name only a few.

But one of the brightest gems in his crown? Herbeck is also the champion of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies from the inception, spending month after month wall papering Hollywood to try to get the film made, never giving up! When he finally succeeded in that endeavor after finding a home at the legendary Golden Harvest, the critics panned the films as a “one trick pony.”

Can you believe it?

Now fast forward as the  TMNT movie celebrates 30 years throughout 2020! With appearances and screenings at San Diego Comic Con and appearances by Herbeck and  Dawson at Comic Con’s throughout the world.

Graham Nolan Art/ Stallone & Dixon Story-- Graces New "Expendables" Graphic Novel

 
The Expendables are about to face a hellish task in a new graphic novel with story by Sylvester Stallone and Chuck Dixon, and art by Graham Nolan. The trade based on characters from the three-film action series is currently seeking backers on indiegogo.com. Perk levels start at $30 for a copy of the book and a pin-up all the way to $2,500 for variant cover art.

The Expendables are a team of highly trained, full throttle mercenaries based in New Orleans who take the riskiest jobs, often contracted by the CIA. The core team includes Barney Ross, a decorated U.S. military veteran, Lee Christmas, the knife-using second in command, the unpredictable giant Gunner Jensen, martial arts expert Yin Yang, and wrestler turned merc Toll Road.

This time their mission will really be hell. Barney Ross is wounded during a mission and wakes up in Hell. He is joined by the other Expendables and some of history’s most formidable warriors in a fight against Satan himself – and villains from thousands of years of warfare.

The graphic novel includes the 50-page main story with three side quests. In “The Bridge,” Barney finds the soul of his still-living friend Tool in Hell, “Christmas in Hell” sees Lee lured away from the team, and in “Barbarian’s Holiday,” Gunner tries to make the best of a bad situation. Art for these stories are provided by Jason Johnson (Team 7), Kelsey Shannon (Norah’s Saga), and Butch Guice (Doctor Strange).

Alan Harris-- Bossk from "Star Wars" -- Saying Goodbye.




Alan Harris-- (Actor-- Bossk from "Star Wars")





We are very sad to report the passing of our friend and client, the amazing Alan Harris. 

Alan Harris was known to many as  Bossk from the "Star Wars" movies:  "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." And boy did he have some behind the scenes stories to share! We sincerely hope that you got to attend one of his panels at the shows he attended. They were a delight.



In "Empire Strikes Back,"  Alan was already acting as one of the stand ins for  actor Anthony Daniels (C3PO), as well as portraying a Storm Trooper from time to time, when he was tapped to take on the role of the  Trandoshan bounty hunter, Bossk. The character became so popular that it has spawned many stories and comic books of his own, and is featured in the “Bounty Hunter Wars,” trilogy, and other volumes.

In "Return of the Jedi," the character became so "in demand" during that filming, that Alan, again one of the stand ins for Anthony Daniels who was in most of the scenes, sometimes had very little time to go from CP3O mode to getting into and out of his Bossk costume!

Aside from the wildly popular bounty hunting bad boy, Harris had his hand (and actually whole BODY), in other "Star Wars" facts and fun as well:

For example: Alan was engaged for the development of the Boba Fett costume. "Three months before filming started, at the concept stage, they built the Boba Fett costume around me," explains Harris.  "Boba Fett was originally meant to be a Super Trooper and would launch from a space ship using the rocket that can be seen in his back pack, and be able to fire at the enemy on the ground. I was totally unaware of the flame thrower built in the costume. When they tested it, it gave me quite a fright."


He was also the body for "Han Solo in Carbonite."

"When the plaster cast was dry they cut my face out and put Harrison Ford’s in.  Kershner and I were looking at the finished product on set and Harrison came over and said he was thinking of turning one of these into a coffee table. I don’t know if he ever did,” he laughs.

I personally feel so blessed to have been able to spend time with Alan and learn from his wisdom and enjoy the stories of his life.

The last time I saw him was in London late last year. I didn't know he was going to the same restaurant/bar as I one night after a show, and we both ended up there alone.

I waved to him from the door and he came and saved me. We found a little table and talked for hours...about so many things.

I'll remember your advice and your kindness always Alan. 

A true gentleman has left this earth.

--Renee Witterstaetter
