Con Man

Con Man follows the misadventures of Wray Nerada, a washed-up actor who starred in a cancelled sci-fi show called 'Spectrum'. He travels to conventions across the country, facing bizarre fans, the indignity of B-movie status, and the challenges of his own ego. The series hilariously explores the cult phenomenon of genre television and the peculiar world of fan conventions from the perspective of a reluctant celebrity.

Con Man was a passion project funded by a Kickstarter campaign and received a mixed to positive reception, largely praised for its humor and its affectionate, meta-commentary on the sci-fi convention circuit. Critics and audiences appreciated the genuine enthusiasm for the genre it showcased, even if the production values were sometimes reflective of its independent, crowdfunded nature. It resonated particularly with fans of Joss Whedon's 'Firefly', given the involvement of several cast members.

• Praised for its sharp wit and insider humor regarding the sci-fi convention circuit.
