Kyle Pacek!
Special Guest Actor & Stuntman
My name is Kyle Pacek and I am originally from a small town in New Hampshire. Now you’re wondering how did I become an actor?? During the summer of 2011 I was on vacation in Anaheim when a recruiter for Disney randomly asked me to participate in a film. Though I never thought about acting before, I was willing to give it a whirl. After taking my information, the recruiter said if the producer liked my look they would call within a couple weeks. Once I flew home from vacation I was back to the grind and surprisingly received the call from casting. I was originally told I would be working on the film for three weeks in late September. However while on the set I received two additional roles and was able to stay for two months. Having the opportunity to get so involved sparked a new interest for the acting industry. It was an incredible experience working with all the stars such as James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Zach Braff, Bill Cobbs, and the list goes on. Not only did I learn from and build relationships with the stars but as well as all the extras and those behind the scenes. The movie wrapped a few days before Thanksgiving allowing me to be home for the holidays. Looking back, sharing my experience with all my friends and family made me want to continue acting. In January of 2012 I drove across country and landed in Los Angeles to pursue my acting career. Since then I have been tearing it up on many productions! It is awesome to be constantly working with great people making those reels turn everyday. Although I've never thought of being an actor or living in LA, I am so thankful for everything that has happened! As they say "everything happens for a reason."
Kyle has since gone on to star in multiple episodes of The Mandalorian on Disney+ including Episode 2, 3 & 8 as an Outworld Jawa and Episode 10 as a Bounty Hunter who famously traded "The Child" for Mando's Jetpack.

Lars Brown!
Special Guest Artist
Lars Brown was born in 1983 and is a stalwart denizen of the Pacific Northwest. His works include North World with Oni Press and Penultimate Quest for Iron Circus Comics. He likes to make comics with swords and fighting except for when he doesn't. His current project is The Factory Muse which can be supported on Patreon.
"Brown’s clever mashup smashes genre constraints, rendering this akin to It’s a Wonderful Life told through a delightfully snarky gamer’s lens, absent Christmas but heavy on the monsters. . . . . Complex, challenging, and ultimately rewarding." ― KIRKUS (Penultimate Quest)
“Brown's talent for crafting intelligent surprises, and for creating characters who seem like they'd actually fit into real life (if real life was full of demons and monsters), ensures that every side trail leads somewhere worthwhile.” ― THE A.V. CLUB (North World)
