In addition to his role as "Crowley" on "Supernatural," Sheppard is well known to FAN EXPO attendees for appearances on iconic series such as "Battlestar Galactica," "24," "Firefly," "Warehouse 13," "Leverage" and 60 others.

Pellegrino played "Lucifer" during seven seasons of "Supernatural," and has 135 credits, including recent runs on "13 Reasons Why," "Quantico," "The Returned" and the Showtime series "Dexter" and "American Rust." His career spans nearly 40 years, with guest spots on hugely popular shows like "L.A. Law," "Doogie Howser, M.D." and "The X-Files" dotting his ledger.

Calvert had a four-season run on "Supernatural" as "Jack Kline" in his first big role after recurring spots on "Arrow." He has since been seen as a regular on "Gen V" and co-starred in this year's Tubi original horror film "Lowlifes."

He also earned attention for his role as "Derek Hale" on the hit MTV series "Teen Wolf," and his breakout performance came at 15, starring alongside Tom Hanks in the critically acclaimed Road to Perdition (2002).

Tulloch was already familiar to genre fans for appearances as "Lois Lane" in DC hits "Arrow," "The Flash," "Batwoman," "Supergirl" and others, and for her work in The Artist, Concussion, and "Grimm" before vaulting to prominence in the intrepid reporter role alongside Hoechlin in the current series.

Cavanagh has co-starred as "Dr. Harry Wells" and various other iterations of Wells's world in "The Flash," "Supergirl," "Arrow," and more in the Arrowverse. He has more than 80 TV and film credits, including the lead on the NBC series "Ed" and had regular runs on series like "Jake and the Kid," "Trust Me" and "Royal Pains" and appeared in hits like "Scrubs," "Blue Bloods" and "The Goldbergs" as well as the Broadway production of "Urinetown."
