Ross Marquand is a fan favourite for playing the one armed Aaron in the Walking Dead but as an accomplished voice actor, Ross not only voices the Red Skull in Endgame but is featured in Invincible, Ultron in Marvel’s What if…? and X Men 97 and voice of Han Solo in Star Wars Lego.

I had seen him in London a couple of times at Walker Stalker but didn’t get round to getting an autograph or photo. I was due to meet him in Lisburn about two years ago but had an amputation the month before. So when Dublin Comic Con announced they had him as a guest for their Summer edition 2025, I was there.

I struck lucky that weekend as all of the guests I met were awesome. Ross is probably the most entertaining and welcoming guests I have ever met, especially among the Walking Dead cast. I cannot say enough about him. He was animated, engaging, talkative and genuinely liked meeting people. You can always tell if a celebrity is there just for the cash but Ross ensures that when meet him, you don’t walk away (or in my case hop away) disappointed or forget the experience.

I was on a double-edged mission. Get an issue of the Walking Dead comics signed and get one for my friend whose birthday was coming up in a couple of months.

His table never stopped the whole weekend as fans of his animated voice work flocked to him. To this day, I still can’t see his face when the Red Skull speaks but he is that good.

Ross Marquand is a celebrity that you guys have go meet. I promise, you will not be disappointed. By the way, I love getting stuff signed in silver.

Awesome.
