Mark Pellegrino to Attend Comic Con Baltics 2026

The programme of “Comic Con Baltics 2026”, taking place on May 22-24, has been expanded with the addition of actor Mark Pellegrino, widely known for his roles in cult and internationally acclaimed television series.

Pellegrino is best recognized for portraying two radically opposing characters in two of the most popular TV series of their time. In “Supernatural”, he played Lucifer, the Devil himselfwhile in “Lost”, he appeared as Jacob, the mysterious guardian of the island and a symbol of good.

In addition to these iconic roles, Pellegrino has appeared in David Lynch’s film “Mulholland Drive”, the hit series “Dexter”, and Netflix’s globally successful drama “13 Reasons Why”. He also provided the voice and likeness for Jacob Seed, the main antagonist of the video game “Far Cry 5”.

According to the actor, acting was never a deliberate career choice. A spontaneous decision to enroll in commercial acting classes became a turning point that ultimately led him into film and television.

Pellegrino has stated that had he not pursued acting, he would have chosen a career as a history teacher. Teaching remains one of his greatest passions, and he continues to lead acting workshops. He is also deeply involved in martial arts, having trained for many years in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, kickboxing, and judo. Thanks to this background, he frequently performs action scenes without stunt doubles.

“Comic Con Baltics 2026” attendees will have a rare opportunity to meet an actor whose characters have become part of modern television mythology. Visitors will be able to hear behind-the-scenes stories from iconic productions and meet a performer capable of portraying both the Devil and a divine guardian with equal conviction. Fans will also have the opportunity to receive autographs and take photos with the actor.

Event organizers say more guest announcements are planned ahead of the festival. Already confirmed are voice actors Benjamin Byron Davis (Dutch van der Linde) and Peter Blomquist (Micah Bell) from “Red Dead Redemption 2”, as well as Tim Downie (Gale Dekarios) and Samantha Béart (Karlach) from “Baldur’s Gate 3”. Additional guests include actor Finn Jones (“Iron Fist”, “Game of Thrones”) and American actor and director Nathan Kress, best known as Freddie Benson from the long-running series “iCarly”.

Now in its eighth year, “Comic Con Baltics” is a next-generation entertainment festival that annually brings together creators and performers from film, television, comics, and video games. From May 22-24, visitors in Vilnius will be able to experience the latest and most iconic video games at the Baltics Gaming Expo, take part in the Meet Lithuanian Film Industry programme, attend film presentations, and enjoy international Cosplay and K-Pop dance competitions. A dedicated Family Area will also be available for younger attendees.
