‘Napoleon Dynamite’ star Jon Heder booked for Lilac City Comicon ’19

If you keep tater tots in your pocket, feed ham to your llama named Tina and can master the impossible skating maneuver “the Iron Lotus,” you might be a fan of actor Jon Heder.

And if you’re a fan of Jon Heder, mark your calendars: He’s coming to the Lilac City Comicon next year.

Heder, who rose to fame as the awkward Idaho teenager in 2004’s indie sensation “Napoleon Dynamite,” is the first headliner announced for the 2019 con, scheduled for June 1-2 at the Spokane Convention Center.

He also made a splash in 2007 when he teamed up with Will Ferrell for “Blades of Glory.” He played Jimmy MacElroy, who partners with Ferrell’s Chazz Michael Michaels as the world’s first male figure skating duo. And while his résumé includes films such as “School for Scoundrels,” “The Benchwarmers” and “When in Rome,” in recent years, Heder has been a go-to voice actor. He’s worked on the “Surf’s Up” movies (as Chicken Joe) as well as “Star vs. the Forces of Evil,” “Stretch Armstrong & the Flex Fighters,” and “Pickle and the Peanut.”

Heder is scheduled to appear both days of the con. Tickets to Lilac City Comicon go on sale Nov. 1. For details, visit https://lilaccitycomicon.webs.com/.
