The Shredder is Coming to Shreveport For Geek’d Con in 2025
Back in 2015, Shreveport's comic con, Geek'd Con started in Downtown Shreveport. Not many people probably expected the event to still be going a decade later. But it's 2025, and Geek'd Con is coming back to the Shreveport Convention Center, August 22nd-24th.
This year's guest lineup already includes a 35th Anniversary "Shell-a-Bration" for the release of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Including voice actors Brian Tochi (Leonardo), Robbie Rist (Michelangelo), and martial artists Ernie Reyes, Jr. (Donatello) and Kenn Scott (Raphael).
What would a TMNT story be without an appearance from The Shredder? Come meet the legend himself, Francois Chau at Geek'd Con in Shreveport this August.
Chau portrayed one of the most iconic versions of Oroku Saki...The Shredder, in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. Unlike the first movie, where Shredder was hidden in the shadows for much of the story, TMNT 2 features a heavy does of Shredder, which means we really got to see a lot of Chau delivering a version of the character that was sure to provide nightmares to some young Millennials.
But The Shredder isn't actually the most recognizable role Chau has had...hard to believe right?
Chau is probably best know for his role as Dr. Pierre Chang in the ABC epic Lost.
You've also seen Chau in shows and movies like Beverly Hills Ninja, Birds of Prey, The Expanse, Baywatch, The Tick, MacGyver, Barry, and recently as Feng Zhao in the highly acclaimed show The Penguin.
Come take part in this Shell-a-Bration at Geek'd Con this August!
