True Blood star joins Melbournes Armageddon Expo

For Immediate Release: 22 September 2010

True Blood star Michelle Forbes has joined the plethora of celebrities who will travel to Australia for the third instalment of Melbourne’s Armageddon Expo.

Show organisers have confirmed Forbes, who starred as the Maenad named Maryann throughout Season 2 of the popular vampire series and is also well-known for her roles in Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica 24.

The American actress will take a break in between filming to head down under for the sci-fi and fantasy extravaganza to be held at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre on the 16th and 17th of October.

Bill Geradts from the Armageddon Expo said, “Michelle is an excellent addition to the shows massive line-up of celebrity guests and she jumped at the chance to come to Australia for such a unique event.”

“True Blood has a huge following and this will give vampire fans a chance to meet one of their favourite characters.”

Proving its success, the Melbourne Armageddon Expo has already sold-out of exhibitor space for the 2010 event.

“We’ve had an incredible response to the show and have officially sold-out of exhibitor space. The event is bursting at the seams with entertainment, guests and all the latest in gaming and technology.”

“Decked out with more displays and activities, fans can really get involved in their ultimate science-fiction fantasy.”

Forbes shares the bill with headline guests including Terminators Kristanna Loken and Michael Biehn, who has also starred in James Cameron films Aliens and Abyss.
