Oscar-Winning Actor Appears at Dallas Sci-Fi Expo

Hollywood legend Richard Dreyfuss will be one of dozens of celebrities attending this weekend's Sci-Fi Expo at the Irving Convention Center.

The Oscar-winning actor will be participating in a question and answer panel on Saturday.
Other actors, including Karl Urban from Star Trek and Stephen Ammell from The CW-TV hit series Green Arrow will also be present.

Many of the stars will be available for autograph and photo sessions with fans, for a price.

Aside from the celebrity guests, the expo has a number of other attractions scheduled. On Saturday night, both adults and kids can compete in a costume contest. If dressing up isn't  your style, special effects makeup workshops will be offered to all those who are interested on both Saturday and Sunday.

The event will also have a cosplay red carpet, hundreds of vendors and exhibitors. To see the full schedule, click here.
