Last weekend, thousands of self-described nerds packed the Tampa Convention Center for the 2023 Tampa Bay Comic Convention.

Besides topnotch cosplayers, the annual event also attracted plenty of Funko Pop collectors, Trekkies, anime kids, and ,of course, celebs.

Despite the Hollywood strikes, the event still pulled in a heavy rotation of actors, including Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings, The Goonies), Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings), Matthew Lewis (Harry Potter), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian) and Jim Cummings (voice of Winnie the Pooh).
