British actor Matthew Waterhouse announced on his Twitter page that he would be representing Big Finish productions at the upcoming festival. He played Adric on Doctor Who, among other credits. He's also done a lot of work for Big Finish productions, including one of the DS projects, The Creeping Fog as John Cunningham. This will be his first convention experience not related directly to Doctor Who.
-
He starred in the DS audio dramas "Bloodlust" and "The Creeping Fog." In the interviews for CF he said that he watched DS while living in LA and was a big fan of Grayson Hall.

Here's a link to the Vortex issue in which he's interviewed about DS. https://www.bigfinish.com/vortex/v/27

He also had a brief supporting part in "The Crimson Pearl" and is writing a short story "Old Acquaintance" which I believe will be read by David Selby.

That's so sweet about Matthew being a Grayson fan. What excellent taste!
A lot of Who fans have been very critical of Matthew's acting in the Tom Baker Who series, but I enjoyed his work at the time and it's always a treat to see one of his episodes again. A year or so ago I had the chance to watch Earthshock, his finale on Who, and it was great!

I said he was a Grayson Hall fan, but looking back on the interview, he doesn't really say that. He compares Grayson to Tom Baker. I think it's probable that he is a fan of the great lady, but I want to make that correction.

Interesting comparison, Doctor & K9. Both were certainly larger than life--onscreen and off!
I love the Tom Baker interviews where he talks about what it's like being a living god. He has a great sense of humor about things.
