If you’ve missed the TRON: UPRISING episodes that have already aired on Disney XD, then you’re missing a lot of fun. Fans of the original TRON or even the more recent TRON: LEGACY will find something to appreciate, but perhaps the most impressive aspect is the voice cast, which consists of many staples in the sci-fi movie and TV community… along with Tron himself, Bruce Boxleitner. This year at San Diego Comic-Con, I had a chance to sit down with several people involved with the production of the animated series, and we’re going to kick off some of those interviews with two heavy hitters – Tricia Helfer and Bruce Boxleitner. I’ve actually spent time with both of them before, as we’ve had them both (separately) as guests at the Dallas Comic Con and Sci-Fi Expo events… I even shot a spectacularly bad game of pool with Bruce once. My apologies on the soft audio for the questions, as the microphone was aimed at them and not myself or the other reporters at the table. It’s also fitting we’re posting this now, since Tricia is appearing this weekend (Saturday the 29th) at the Las Vegas Comic Expo. Check out the interviews below, and look for new episodes of TRON: UPRISING any day now. If you’re a fan, tell us what you think of the show in the comments below.
