Tyrone Hampton

Tyrone Hampton was a Chicago native until moving to Minnesota in 1998. He has a degree in Media Arts (Screenwriting) with almost three decades of gaming and storytelling experience. Following a near death experience his life changed and, starting in 2002 he began writing 18 hours a day turning out several horror genre novels.

 

His first effort “Inferno” was censored by editors as being unmarketable because of the graphic nature of the story. After 100+ pages were removed and ‘Inferno” became the first of the 6 book of his “Twilight of the Damned” series.

 

Hampton is currently on a nationwide tour promoting the release of “Metamorphosis” on July 4th 2008 and the re-release of “Inferno” with the missing 100+ pages returned to their proper place. Another book in the set, ‘Revelations,’ is set for release in 2009.

 

“I'm very excited about this coming November 7-8 in Erie, Pennsylvania,” Hampton said. “'The Final Frontier' heralds my first appearance as a convention guest of honor. I'm going to mark that appearance with a short story written exclusively for the con, in the Star Trek: The Next Generation series, picking up from a first season thread that Paramount left open”.

J. G. Hertzler

When auditioning for the role of Martok for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993), the casting director told him to show more anger so he threw a chair at a wall. The display cost him a thumbnail, but won him the role.

 

Good-natured, yet violent outbursts against furniture seem to be a specialty of his. During an interview for a German public access channel he demonstrated what an outside linebacker (his position in college football) is, by suddenly throwing a table over.

 

He became an active fighter in finding a cure for scleroderma (a lethal disease of the skin) after his father died of it.

 

Along with Jeffrey Combs, Randy Oglesby and Thomas Kopache, he is one of only four actors to play seven different characters on "Star Trek." He played the Vulcan captain of the U.S.S. Saratoga, General/Chancellor Martok, Roy Rittenhouse and Laas in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993), an Hirogen hunter in "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995) and Kolos and a Klingon captain in "Enterprise" (2001)).
