Brit pop singer and Dr. Who star Billie Piper was announced on Wednesday as the latest celebrity guest on the lineup of this summer’s Megacon pop-culture convention in Orlando.
To hardcore Who heads, Piper is best known as Rose Tyler, traveling companion to Dr. Who’s ninth incarnation, played by Christopher Eccleston — who, as luck would have it, will also be at Megacon this year.
Since we last wrote about cast members from The Office joining the Megacon guest roster, the lineup has been further augmented with Brent Spiner from Star Trek: The Next Generation and John Barrowman from Arrow. But, unfortunately, the planned Hobbits reunion is now off.
MegaCon happens on Aug. 12-15 at the usual location of the Orange County Convention Center. Tickets are on sale now.
