Tulsa Pop Kids Inc. was created in 2017 to provide support within our community specifically to promote literacy programs for children through Pop Culture and entertainment. All proceeds raised during the Tulsa Pop Culture Expo will help our efforts in promoting that cause including providing comics to local elementary schools and to the children in St. Francis Medical Centers. Celebrity Guest Announced So Far: Catherine Hicks - Catherine appeared in several high profile films through the early 1980s, in leading and supporting roles whilst also appearing on television. Films included: Death Valley (1982), Garbo Talks (1984), The Razor's Edge (1984) and Peggy Sue Got Married (1986). She played "Dr. Gillian Taylor", opposite lead actor William - Shatner, in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), a cult sequel to the popular Star Trek films. In the late 1980s, she played the lead role of "Karen Barclay" in Child's Play (1988), a film that remains highly regarded in the horror genre. It was on the set of this film that Catherine met her future husband, Kevin Yagher, with whom she had a daughter in 1992. Despite her obvious talent, big movie roles never seemed to find their way to her in the early 1990s. In spite of this, she worked consistently, appearing in Liebestraum (1991), Dillinger and Capone (1995), the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie Redwood Curtain (1995), and a small role in the semi-high profile movie, Turbulence (1997). In 1996, she landed the lead role in the Warner Bros. television series, 7th Heaven (1996), playing "Annie Jackson-Camden". From that point on, her career revolved around the television series and her family, occasionally appearing in films. Her last to-date film was the television movie, For All Time (2000), opposite Mark Harmon. 7th Heaven (1996) was canceled in 2007, after a successful eleven-year run, but it is likely that this attractive and talented actress will remain in films and television for a long time to come. Chase Masterson - Chase Masterson is perhaps best known as sexy casino girl “Leeta” on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) and “Ivy Lief” on General Hospital (1963), as well as being the featured guest star in the first Emmy Award-winning episode of ER (1994). Masterson was named one of the “Hot Leading Ladies” of Film in 2008 by “Film Fetish”, one of the world’s “50 Sexiest Women” by “Femme Fatales Magazine”, the “#1 Favorite Science Fiction Actress on Television” in a “TV Guide” online readers’ poll, and one of the “Top 20 People to Watch in Hollywood” by “Sci-Fi Universe Magazine”. She was also named “Best Feature Film Producer” by the LA Femme Film Festival for her work on Yesterday Was a Lie (2008). Justin Nimmo - Justin Nimmo is an American actor who is best known for his role as Zhane in Power Rangers in Space. He was born in Lexington, Oklahoma and currently resides in Purcell, Oklahoma. Nimmo's film appearances range from American Indian Graffiti, The Cabin, Dude, Where’s My Car, and Pleasantville. He has also appeared on television in Power Rangers in Space and Saved by the Bell. Currently Nimmo is a small business owner in Purcell, OK. John Anderson - John Anderson is an actor, comedian, and self-proclaimed professional "Trick Talking Meat" who hails from Birmingham, Alabama. He landed his first major motion picture role as a Ravager in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. John also appeared in Sleepy Hollow, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Case for Christ, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, MacGyver, Being Mary Jane, and Tyler Perry's Too Close to Home. He will appear in a number of television shows and movies premiering later this year, and most recently appeared in Make-up Artist Magazine, displaying his alien movie make-up as a Hurctarian Ravager. Tom Waite - Tom Waite is a Hollywood actor and stuntman. His acting credits include roles in such films as: The Amazing Spiderman, Rage, Ride Along and All Nighter (2017). His TV roles include: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alias, Castle, and Supergirl. Along with doing his own stunts in such films and TV shows as: Pirates of the Caribbean, Snow White and the Huntsman, The Last Airbender, CHUCK, CSI Miami, and Training Day, he has been the stuntman for some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, Nicolas Cage, Bill Paxton, and recently Alan Tudyk on the TV show Powerless.
