He was the producer of a film I starred in, An Equal Opportunity. He's a real card, a real no-nonsense straight talker.
We went to high school together. She's incredibly sweet and funny.

Ken Womble is known for An Equal Opportunity (2018) and Makeup Mixup (2013).

I dropped by his booth during the last day of Denver Comic Con 2018. He autographed one of my Bone Books and even left an illustration behind. He was very nice, reminiscent of Mark Rylance from Ready Player One. I could tell he was a little old, but it looked like he was so happy to be there.

8. Thomas Estrada

Thomas Estrada is known for Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), Treasure Planet (2002) and The Prince of Egypt (1998).
I happened across his stand at Denver Comic Con, he was selling some illustrations for five dollars a piece. We shook hands and I walked away with two autographed purchasers. He was such a cool guy, seemed very humble.

On the second night of my New York trip we went to the Lyceum Theatre for a performance of The Play That Goes Wrong. Before the show began, the actors went out into the audience to interact with the audience members. Mark Evans popped up in the nosebleeds we were sitting in and asked us (in character) about our thoughts about acting. To which my friend remarks "Oh, I hate actors." The look of shock on Mark's face was amazing. I'll never forgot the words said as he left. "You can never be great actors if you don't aspire to be the best."- Chris

A friend of mine recognized him from his role on Supernatural. She went on to ask him what it was like for him to film the Hillywood Ghostbusters parody. He was equal parts funny and incredibly sweet. Seemed like a cool guy to talk to.

I met him today at Denver Pop Culture Con and asked him about his experience working on Over the Garden Wall. At first he had no idea what I was talking about, but eventually he acknowledged that he hadn't yet seen it. And that he would have to see it some time. Really nice guy overall.
