Every story needs a villain, and in ThunderCon’s story, that villain is Steve Zmijak, aka Doctor Stevil. A cosplayer and actor, Stevil has become a popular addition to ThunderCon since he first attended as a guest in 2018, bringing fun and laughter to attendees in costume as Doctor Stevil himself, Gru, Barney Rubble, Uncle Fester and Charlie Brown.
His acting credits include background appearances on Stargate SG-1 and Out There with Melissa DiMarco, and The Long Ride Home, which is currently being filmed in the Chatham region, and has become a recurring character on a series of short films by Youtuber Andreas Eskander.
For 2025, Stevil plans to reveal a new character he will be bringing to life at ThunderCon’s Wibbly-Wobbly Timey-Wimey 10th Birthday, September 20th and 21st. Tickets are on sale now online at www.thundercon.ca, or you can purchase them at select retail outlets in Thunder Bay.
