MY SAN ANTONIO: Texas Comicon preview: Sam Witwer is the luckiest geek star on the planet

Sure, Sam Witwer owes plenty of his career to the Force. After all, he is the face and voice of Starkiller, Darth Vader’s secret apprentice in the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed video games. And he’s voiced what’s practically the very embodiment of the dark side as the evil Son in the Mortis trilogy story from last season’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars. And he’ll return to the animated series next season in an as yet undisclosed role.
But Witwer has the Force of luck on his side, too. That luck, and of course talent, has helped him land not only his animated place in the Star Wars franchise but also some plum live-action roles, too — most recently that of the vampire nurse Aidan on Syfy’s Being Human.
“A lot of things that I’ve only dreamed of happening have been happening to me recently,” says Witwer, 33. “So I’ve just been having a hell of a lot of fun...”
Sam Witwer is a guest at Texas Comicon 2011, scheduled for June 24-26, 2011, at the San Antonio Event Center, San Antonio, Texas. Other media guests include Star Trek: The Next Generation's Brent Spiner, Superman's Margo Kidder and The Walking Dead's Anthony Guajardo.
