October 20, 2010: Jack O'Halloran Appearing at Central Canada Comic-Con

Actor Jack O'Halloran will be among the featured guests at the 2010 Central Canada Comic-Con which takes place October 29th, 30th and 31st at the Winnipeg Convention Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

O'Halloran is best remembered for his starring role in "Superman: The Movie" and "Superman: II" as the mute villian Non. Prior to his acting career, he was known as "Irish" Jack O'Halloran and was a rated heavyweight boxing contender in the early 1970s.

The 6' 6" native of Runnemede, New Jersey, was considered one of boxing's most promising heavyweight hopefuls after he remained undefeated in his first 16 professional matches. O'Halloran went on to defeat former title contenders Cleveland Williams, Terry Daniels, Manuel Ramos and Danny McAlinden. In 1972 he won the California state heavyweight championship with a victory over Henry Clark. Scoring an upset victory over eighth-ranked Al "Blue" Lewis in 1973, O'Halloran was on the verge of a bout with Muhammad Ali when he was shockingly knocked out by Jimmy Summerville in Miami Beach, Florida. Even though he knocked out Summerville in the rematch, O'Halloran was never in contention again. He retired in 1974 with a record of 34-21-2 with 17 knockout victories. He lost to future heavyweight champions George Foreman and Ken Norton. Following his retirement, he launched his successful career as a character actor.

Other guests scheduled to appear alongside O'Halloran at the convention include Ray Park (Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, X-Men), Garrett Wang (Star Trek: Voyager) and Orli Shoshan (Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith).

The Central Canada Comic-Con is one of Canada's largest conventions. The show began to grow in 1994 as the Manitoba Collector's Expo. As times changed, so did the event, and in 2000 it became the Manitoba Toy & Comic Expo, dropping the antiques and reducing the sportscards. The show became known as the Manitoba Comic Con in 2006 and, in 2008, moved to the Winnipeg Convention Centre where it was renamed the Central Canada Comic-Con.

This years event will feature a $500 "Miss C4" contest, a $1000 C4 Costume Contest, an 80's Retro Arcade, Sci-Fi Simulator, Gaming, Workshops, Q & A's, Table Top Gaming, Celebrity Panels and much, much more.

Weekend passes are $25.00, one day passes: $13.50 and preview night only passes: $13.50.
