PORTLAND, Ore. - EntSun -- Three popular celebrity guests from some of fandom's most enduring franchises supplement an already stellar FAN EXPO Portland roster with today's announcement that Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead, "Burn Notice"), Carl Weathers ("The Mandalorian," Rocky) and Gates McFadden ("Star Trek: The Next Generation") will attend the pop culture celebration, February 17-19 at the Oregon Convention Center.
