Chicago, Illinois (June 22, 2023) – Chicago’s longest-running comic and pop culture convention, FAN EXPO Chicago today announced that “Star Trek: Picard” star and Second City alum Todd Stashwick will be appearing at this year’s event, running August 10 - 13, 2023 at the Donald E.

Todd Stashwick was born in Chicago and raised in the suburbs right outside of the city. As a child, he always loved making people laugh, and he aspired to one day perform at Chicago's famous The Second City. Soon after graduating from Illinois State University with a degree in theatre, he began performing at several local improvisational theaters, and his dream came true when he was hired in 1992 to tour nationally with The Second City.
Stashwick has quickly become a fan favorite with his role as Captain Liam Shaw in the acclaimed third season of “Star Trek: Picard,” with fans clamoring for his return in the rumored upcoming “Star Trek: Legacy” project. Stashwick has also appeared in Apple TV+’s “The Last Thing He Told Me,” MTV’s “Teen Wolf,” and the popular “12 Monkeys” television series.
