Rooker is known for playing Merle Dixon in “The Walking Dead” and Yondu in “Guardians of the Galaxy.” He’s also starred in “The Suicide Squad,” “Eight Men Out,” “Mississippi Burning,” “Days of Thunder,” “Cliffhanger,” “Tombstone,” and “The Bone Collector.”
Close to home, Rooker played Sgt. Riordan in Kevin Costner’s “Horizon,” which was filmed in Utah.
Rooker returns to the conference after his last visit to FanX in 2018. During his panel, he joked with the audience, strolled through the crowd, sang with audience members, and shared behind-the-scenes stories about how his characters came to life.
Lennon stars in “Reno 911!” as Lt. Jim Dangle, Andrei Novak on “Santa Clarita Diet” and Felix Unger on “The Odd Couple.” He’s also acted in “Bad Teacher,” “Memento,” “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” and “I Love You Man.”
“Building this year’s celebrity guest list has been especially fun as we’re getting more and more celebrities that reach out to us asking if they can attend FanX,” said Dan Farr, FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention founder and show producer. “Michael is a FanX alumni and one of our fans’ all-time favorites and Thomas is one of our most requested guests so to have both of them here in September is a big win and will add extra excitement for our fans.”
Chelsie Stoker, FanX Marketing coordinator said it’s exciting to be able to announce a guest like Lennon that’s been so highly requested at FanX.
She said that the FanX team reaches out to highly requested guests early on to try and book them before their schedule fills up.
Lennon and Rooker join an exciting lineup of FanX guests, which include Star Trek legend William Shatner, Doug Jones (“What We Do in the Shadows,” “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” “Hocus Pocus,” “Hellboy”), Sonequa Martin-Green (“Once Upon a Time,” “Star Trek: Discovery,” and Cooper Andrews (“Shazam!”, “The Walking Dead”).

Stoker said there’s plenty of fun panel programming set for the convention, with proposals out to a few authors and some reunions in the work. She shared that it’s been exciting to see everything come together for the convention.
Lennon is slated to be at FanX for all three days, with photo ops available at $70 and autographs for $50. Details for Rooker have yet to be announced.
