PENSACOLA, Fla. (WKRG) — Pensacon 2024 attracted many celebrities, authors, and other famous guests, and digital reporter Summer Poole interviewed Mark Sheppard, known for playing the demon king of Hell Crowley on “Supernatural,” according to his guest page on Pensacon’s website.

Sheppard said he’s impressed by how “Supernatural” (a TV drama that aired on The WB from 2005-2006 and The CW from 2006-2020) still attracts many fans.
“It’s kinda spectacular that a show that didn’t necessarily have tens of millions of viewers has endured,” he said. “And I think it’s a testament to CW and (Warner Bros. Television) that it was sold to so many terrestrial stations worldwide and that we have millions and millions of what we like to call ‘supernatural family’ everywhere we go.”
Sheppard also played lawyer Romo Lampkin on the “Battlestar Galactica” reboot, Interpol investigator James Sterling on “Leverage,” and small-time crime lord Badger on Joss Whedon’s “Firefly.”
“I’ve been very, very fortunate to be in a lot of great shows,” he said.

Sheppard said he can’t comment on any new projects he is working on, but notes, ” I’m one of those strange actors that’s always doing something somewhere.”
In the meantime, he says he has enjoyed being at the festival.
“I’m really happy to be in Pensacola,” Sheppard said. “It’s my first convention I’ve been to this year since I’ve had my medical issues. So, it’s nice to know there’s a lot of love and there’s a lot great people here.”
Sheppard described the convention, saying, “It’s a big ol’ love fest as you say.”
He elaborated: “It’s always a really positive thing. It’s very, very rarely a negative experience. Some people are nervous, but most people are happy to see you.
