Ottawa Comiccon is adding three new names to its list of celebrity guests, including a doctor, a man who plays a computer program and a sketch comic.

The annual celebration of geek culture announced Wednesday it would be adding to its celebrity ranks Matt Smith, the 11th doctor in the hit TV series Doctor Who. Smith first appeared on the show in 2010, when, at 26 years old, he became the youngest actor to play the role.

He appeared in three regular series, as well as the Doctor Who mini series The Sarah Jane Adventures, Night and the Doctor and Pond Life, and starred in the 50th anniversary special “Day of the Doctor” opposite David Tennant, the Tenth Doctor.

Comiccon also announced the addition of Bruce Boxleitner, who is best known for playing the role of “Tron” and Dr. Alan Bradley in the cult 1982 Disney film Tron. Boxleitner reprised the role in the 2010 sequel of the film Tron: Legacy.

After a string of TV movies, he joined the ensemble of the science fiction television series Babylon 5 as Captain John Sheridan at the start of the second season.

The third person added to Comiccon is Ottawa’s own Abby Hagyard, who is best known for playing Valerie Prevort, the only adult female on the popular sketch comedy TV series You Can’t Do That On Television. Hagyard appeared in 114 episodes of the show over its eight-year run.

She has also provided character voices for several animated cartoon series, including The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, The Care Bears, Dennis the Menace and For Better or For Worse.

The stars will join Jason Momoa, who played Aquaman in the Justice League movie, as well as Finn Jones and Mike Colter, who play Iron Fist and Luke Cage, respectively, among others.

Comiccon is in its seventh year in Ottawa. It was initially created as a test to see if an exhibition showcasing comic books, science fiction and TV pop culture would be able to draw crowds and expand year after year. The event is now operating near capacity at the south-end EY Centre, and aims to attract more than 40,000 guests this year.

The three-day exhibition, which will take place between Friday, May 11 and Sunday, May 13 will be packed with panels, workshops, improv shows, board game tournaments, film screenings, celebrity autograph sessions, photo-ops and shopping for collectables.
