Veteran genre actor Mac McDonald will be in Camber Sands for the ultimate SF event of 2010, time to get your smeg on

McDonald is an honest to goodness genre veteran. Born in Long Island New York in 1949, where he developed his distinctive American twang, he’s starred in dozens of films and TV shows since his uncredited debut in dystopian classic Rollerball, and lent his voice to SF games like Second Sight and Timesplitters: Future Perfect. He'll also be appearing in upcoming horror sequels The Descent Part 2 and Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead.

He’ll always be best known as the unfortunate Captain of the Red Dwarf, dying along with the rest of the crew (except Lister of course) in a radiation leak during the very first episode of series one. He reprised the role for series eight of the classic British sitcom (which we take an in-depth look at in the latest issue of SFX, 189) after being resurrected by an army of nano-bots. He also appears briefly in the Special Edition of Aliens as the unfortunate Commander of terraforming colony LV-426, dying along with the rest of the base when… erm you get the picture.
