Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Cast Reunion Panel at Fan Expo 2013 featuring Susan Roman, Katie Griffin, Linda Ballantyne, Toby Proctor and John Stocker

This past weekend at Fan Expo 2013 in Toronto there was a Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Cast Reunion! This included Susan Roman, the voice of Sailor Jupiter, Katie Griffin, the voice of Sailor Mars, Linda Ballantyne, the voice of Sailor Moon, Toby Proctor, the voice of Tuxedo Mask and John Stocker, voice director for Sailor Moon S and SuperS. Here’s a video of the complete panel that they held on Friday. The Fan Expo staff seriously underestimated fan interest in Sailor Moon so many people were unable to make it into the room which was at maximum capacity.

While at Fan Expo 2013 I also managed to record interviews with Susan Roman, Linda Ballantyne and John Stocker. I will be posting them to the site as time permits. I did not neglect Katie Griffin and John Stocker! I interviewed both of them at last year’s convention.

Fan Expo’s Sailor Moon panel will be at 2:30pm on Friday August 23rd

In it we see that the “Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary Cast Reunion” panel will be taking place on Friday afternoon at 2:30pm so if you’re not a big fan of Richard Dean Anderson I suggest you cancel all other plans and make it to that panel! As we mentioned previously there will be many guests from the Sailor Moon dub in attendance at the convention. The panel will include Toby Proctor, the voice of Tuxedo Mask, Linda Ballantyne, the voice of Sailor Moon, Susan Roman, the voice of Sailor Jupiter, Katie Griffin, the voice of Sailor Mars and John Stocker, voice director for the series.

There are no autograph sessions listed for any of these actors. The Sailor Moon guests have spots at a table in a hall on the same floor at the Expo Hall. If it’s anything like last year attendees will be free to approach them for autographs throughout the weekend while they’re at their tables. Check out the area that says “Cartoon Voice Actors” on the floor plan to find your favourite Sailor Moon star.

The panel will be taking place in 701B which you can see from the floor plan is located one floor up from the main expo hall at the far end of the hall with the main elevators.

I hope to see you at the convention.
