“Would you like a treatment?”Joss Whedon fans answered with aresounding “yes” and we’ve responded withour greatest line-up of ‘Whedonverse’ gueststhus far doing what the Supanova PopCulture Expo is best at; creatingopportunities to break down the gapbetween you, the fans, and the Supa-Stars ofboth the small and big screens. It thereforegives us enormous pleasure to introduce ourClass of 2010…Eliza DushkuIts now part of pop culture legend that Elizaand Joss came up with the idea of Dollhouseduring a lunch together as they discussed hercareer. Having already headlined a TV series,Tru Calling, in addition to having appeared inover twenty episodes of Buffy the VampireSlayer and Angel, ‘Echo’ was eventually bornfrom that conversation. A true Supa-Star,Eliza’s big screen credits include True Lies,Bring It On and Jay and Silent Bob StrikeBack.Tahmoh PenikettWith a powerful screen presence evidencedby the fact his character ‘Captain KarlAgathon’, or ‘Helo’, wasn’t meant to survivethe re-imagined Battlestar Galactica mini-series, it was only natural that when

Since then Charismahas featured in the fun supernatural dramaCharmed, hip detective series Veronica Mars,as ‘Triana’ in the fantasy series Legend of theSeeker and is also in Sylvester Stallone’simpending theatrical release, The Expendables.
