SUMMER 2023 PROGRAM BOOK

BIG THINGS are on the way! 

There are big changes on the horizon, both for SacAnime and the Sacramento Convention Center. We will 

be a little cramped for this show due to electrical renovations taking place in Ballroom B, but we’re packing 

every space we have with maximum entertainment for you! 

We have been listening to attendee feedback, and working with our contractors and staff to bring back 

some old fan-favorites, as well as looking for NEW options that better fit our SacAnime community. A few of 

these items have been immediately applied, like the Itasha car show, expanded cosplay gatherings, and the 

return of SKITS to the masquerade, but many will need to wait until we have Ballroom B back this winter. 

(Video Gaming, Art Show, Starlight Ball, and more!) 

We truly appreciate the support and energy of the SacAnime community as we get ready to begin our 

TWENTIETH year, and these changes and improvements are our way of saying thanks. We’d like to invite 

attendees to give us feedback through our Attendee Survey, so we can get a better idea of where to focus 

our efforts next!

NICK APOSTOLIDES 

Since 2011, Nick Apostolides has developed his heavy dramatic style of method acting in films, worked on over 100 

commercials, been nominated for an Emmy (Hosting) and has now entered the world of Motion Capture/VO. Most 

recently he portrayed Officer Leon Kennedy in the Resident Evil 2 & 4 Remake (body, face, voice) and has also voiced 

2 characters over 3 games in the Life Is Strange universe (Frank Bowers and Charles Erikson). Right now he is traveling 

the world on a 10-episode Docu-build show that helps communities/organizations in need. Stay tuned for some new and 

exciting MoCap projects that are already completed! 

Nick was born in Salem, MA and spent most of his life in the Boston area. He was lucky enough to have been raised with 

two amazing brothers, Steve and Dave. He led an extremely artistic and creative childhood but eventually shifted his focus 

to acting due to his love of the cinematic experience. The unconditional support of his parents Steve and Dotty has always 

played a huge factor in every single endeavor. 

Though he is always very sociable and outgoing, Nick often portrays characters that have more stoic, complex and 

mysterious qualities. Reflection and empathy play the largest role in his preparation.

DON BLUTH 

Bluth’s passion for the Art of Animation is the driving force that fueled his film career for a period of more than four 

decades. According to Bluth, he was not driven to animation but extremely attracted to it mainly because of the sheer 

beauty of its look. Don grew up on the early Disney films, Snow White, Bambi and Pinocchio. He was only four years old 

when these pictures inspired him. He knew immediately that someday, it would be part of his world. Bluth is considered 

by some critics to be unique in that he successfully challenged the powers of the ‘Mouse House,’ as a serious competitor, 

bringing to the silver screen such memorable milestones as The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, 

and Anastasia.’ All in all, Don and his partner, Gary Goldman, produced twelve animated features and three video games 

including, Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace. 

Don Bluth is one of the most acclaimed directors and animators in the industry. His peers from all over the world admire 

him for his creative talents as well as his versatility in bringing memorable characters to life. He designs the characters, 

serves as Key Storyboard Artist, and when the mood strikes him, he has also been known to compose some clever songs 

and collaborate on most of the scripts for his projects. Both he and his partner, Gary Goldman are responsible for the 

training of over 1000 artisans that currently populate the industry. Bluth was born into a family of seven children in El 

Paso, Texas. He grew up on a dairy farm in Payson, Utah in a highly creative environment. When he was not milking cows, 

he was drawing cartoons. Animation captured his fancy and soon he was dreaming about working for Walt Disney. In 

1955 he graduated from high school, and immediately took a portfolio of his drawings to the Disney studios in Burbank 

where he landed a position in the animation department as an in-betweener. Bluth worked at Disney from 1955 through 

1956 on the classic motion picture Sleeping Beauty. He left after one year to follow other life pursuits, re-entered the 

animation field in 1967 at Filmation Studios and finally returned to Disney in 1971. During his ten years working at the 

Walt Disney studios, Bluth had four fantastic mentors, John Lounsbery, Frank Thomas, Milt Kahl, and Wolfgang (Wooly) 

Reitherman. According to Bluth, the one he learned from the most was John Lounsbury. He was generous, knowledgeable, 

and I was dating his daughter. In 1979, Bluth, along with Gary Goldman and John Pomeroy, founded Don Bluth Productions.

GUESTS! 

JIM CUMMINGS 

Tell the kid he’s got it,” said the legendary Mel Blanc with a smile, after 

listening to a young man’s first demo tape of cartoon character voices. 

The year was 1984, “the kid,” was Jim Cummings. Since then, the kid 

has gone on to give life and voice to some of America’s most beloved 

animal Characters, even a few of the late Mel Blanc’s, and he was even 

nominated for an Emmy Award for his work as the lovable Tigger on 

Disney Channel’s “My Friends Tigger and Pooh,” in which he also voices 

everyone’s favorite bear, Winnie the Pooh. 

Born and raised in Youngstown Ohio, Cummings spent Saturday mornings 

riveted to the TV screen as he mimicked the characters in his favorite 

cartoons, all the while dreaming that one day he would voice them 

himself. At age 19, he moved to New Orleans, where he performed as 

a drummer, a singer, a deck hand on riverboats, and even designed and 

created Mardi Gras floats, all the while absorbing the rich characters and 

accents that would someday find expression in animation. 

Years later, Cummings relocated to Southern California and managed a 

video store as he pursued his childhood dream. He gave his first demo 

to a customer who was also a movie producer, and the rest, as they say, is history. In 1984, Cummings landed his first role as Lionel the lion, in 

Disney Channel’s “Dumbo Circus.” During his illustrious career, he has worked extensively for the Walt Disney Studios voicing classic characters 

such as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, King Louis, Kaa the Snake, Pete (formerly peg legged Pete), and more. His many other credits include Darkwing 

Duck, Bonkers, Fat Cat, and Monterey Jack on “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers,” Don Kamage on “Tailspin,” and too many others to mention here. 

Cummings has done scores of voices for Warner Bros, as well, including Taz the Tazmanian Devil himself, Steven Spielberg’s “Animaniacs,” ”Tiny 

Toon Adventures,” “Batman,” ”Pinky and the Brain,” ”Tazmania,” “Duck Dodgers,” and more. Other credits include “King of the Hill,” “Bump in the 

Night,” “Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius,” “The Replacments,” “The Addams Family,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” “The Simpsons,” 

“Sophia the First” and “Transformers”. He was nominated for a Daytime Emmy award for his role of Hondo in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. 

Not Limited to the small screen, Cummings has acted in several blockbuster feature films for Dreamworks including “Shrek,” “Antz,” “Kung Fu 

Panda’s Furious 5,” “Hook,” “The Bee Movie,” “Balto,” and more. His credits read like a top-list of animated and live-action films. Credits include 

“Who framed Roger Rabbit,” “The Little Mermaid,” ‘Aladdin,” “Tarzan,” “Pocahontas,” “The Lion King,” “Babe: Pig in the City,” “The Hunchback of 

Notre Dame,” “Brother Bear 2,” “The Princess and The Frog ” to name a few. He was even nominated for an Annie Award for his performance in 

“Gnomeo and Juliet,” where he played the amorous garden flamingo, Featherstone. 

Cummings’ uncanny ability to sing in character and voice match for stars who are, in his words, “great actors, just not great singers,” has led to 

many platinum and gold records for soundtracks like “Anastasia,” “The Lion King,” “Fox and the Hound,” “Pocahontas,” “Hercules,” and more. He 

was also AC, the lead singer of the famed California Raisins. 

Cummings’ work in voice over includes hundreds of television and radio commercials, movie trailers, promos, and videogames. “Pretty much 

anything involving microphones, music, noise in general, and padded walls,“ jokes the affable actor, and “remember, only you can prevent forest 

fires,” so says Smokey the Bear, aka Jim Cummings. No matter how busy Cummings, schedule may be, it all stops when Famous Fone Friends of 

Make a Wish Foundation call on behalf of a very ill child and distraught family in need of a phone call from their favorite cartoon character. “Just 

bringing a respite, however brief, and perhaps a smile and giggle or two, means so much to the child and their family. I consider it a true blessing 

to be able to do that.” 

Cummings is a proud father of four and resides somewhere in California with his beautiful two younger daughters Grace and Lulu Rose…and 

their critters.

CHRISTOPHER JUDGE 

Douglas Christopher Judge (“Judge”) was born and raised in 

Los Angeles, and always knew that he wanted to be an actor, 

wanting to invoke feelings in others that he was receiving from 

the shows he watched. He realized quickly that sports would 

be the stepping stone to an acting career. 

Attending the University of Oregon on a football scholarship, 

Judge led in kickoff return yardage for 1983-84 and 

interceptions in 1984, in addition to earning the Casanova 

Award in 1982 (given to the freshman or newcomer of the 

year). Judge was also a three-time All-American, a Pacific-10 

Conference 

Selection in 1984, and played in the 1985 Hula Bowl. While 

at Oregon, Judge was a pre-med major, then psychology, then 

telecommunications and film, with a minor in psychology. In 

his senior year, he won a regional contest to host the West 

Coast Fox KLSR Morning Show, an “MTV talk show-type thing”; he used this experience to get an agent and move to Los 

Angeles. 

Judge began studying at the Howard Fine Institute in LA in 1989. Some early roles were “Bird on a Wire, Cadence”, “Neon 

Rider” and “MacGyver” with future “Stargate SG-1” star Richard Dean Anderson. In the ensuing years, Judge had small 

parts in various television shows and movies, such as “21 Jump Street” (with future SG-1 director Peter DeLuise), “The 

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, and” House Party 2”, and as a regular on “Sirens” from 1994 to 1995. 

Judge’s first lead role in a series came in 1997 with “Stargate SG-1”. While at a friend’s house, he saw his friend’s 

roommate practicing for an audition and he was intrigued. He looked at the audition notes, then called his agent and 

insisted he get him an audition as well. Judge has now steadily kept busy over the years with various acting projects. 

Notably he has starred in the films “Paradox”, “Knock ‘em Dead”, “A Tiger’s Tail”, and most recently “Guardians of Justice 

(Will Save You!)”. 

Judge also wrote four episodes of “Stargate SG-1”: “The Changeling”, “Birthright”, “Sacrifices” and “The Warrior”. 

Additionally, Judge co-wrote that series “Starhawks” (which is currently in prep) with long time writing and producing 

partner Mike Disa, whom he also collaborated with on the animated series “Dead Space Aftermath” and “Wacky Races”. 

They are also currently prepping the anime series “Pendulum” with Madison Jones and the legendary Suzanne de Passe. 

Judge is an actor for numerous animated series and video games. He is the voice of Magneto on the animated series 

“X-Men: Evolution” and Oreskis on the animated series, “Final Space” which is produced by Conan O’Brien. Judge is the 

voice of Jericho in the videogame “Turok” and he voices T’Challa in the video game “Marvel Avengers: War for Wakanda”. 

He also voices Nick Kuttner in the animated movie “Dead Space Aftermath” as well as D-Mov in the wildly popular game 

“Def Jam Vendetta” and “Def Jam: Fight for NY”. 

Judge is currently best known for his award winning lead performance of Kratos in the video game “God of War” and “God 

of War: Ragnarök”. For this role, Judge won Best Actor at the Game Awards in 2022, as well as a DICE award in 2018 and 

2023. Judge was also nominated for a BAFTA Award in 2018 and won for Performer in a Leading Role in 2023.

GENERATIONS OF AUTHENTICATION EXPERIENCE 

Autograph collecting is a Spence family tradition that has been passed down 

through four generations. Following his grandfather and father, founder James 

Spence Jr. started out as an avid collector of sports memorabilia. Collecting 

autographs turned into a business as he traveled across the country attending 

major trade shows buying and selling memorabilia. His passion for autographs 

led him to extensive research and compiling an autograph exemplar library, 

which is second to none in the autograph industry today. James, Jr's reputation 

within the autograph world caught the attention of major auction houses 

across the country, which then employed his authentication services for their 

upcoming auctions. 

Thirty years later James Spence has built a worldwide reputation as the premier 

autograph authenticator in the world.
