Ray Park (Darth Maul) backflips to FACTS Spring Edition!

February 5, 2016

Our first star is Darth Maul from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, the murderous, demon-ish duellist with the double-bladed lightsaber. Behind that black and red ‘mask’ lies Ray Park, a Scottish martial artist, gymnast and actor, skilled in the art of Wushu. So it’s bound to be a spectacular mix of fighting skills and cool anecdotes.

Park also portrayed Toad in X-Men (2000), Snake Eyes in G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009), was stunt coordinator and actor (Reptile, Baraka) in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997), was in Heroes as Edgar (2010), among many other movies and tv series.
Ray Park will be available on Saturday and Sunday during FACTS spring edition for a panel, a signing session and photoshoots.

About FACTS

***MEDIA GALLERY***

FACTS, Your Belgian Comic Con, is not just a convention, it’s another dimension. FACTS is the biggest pop culture event of the Benelux that brings together the best of movies, series, games and superheroes, allows all its aspects to spring to life and unites a wide array of pop culture fans.

Twice a year, the FACTS Flagship docks at the halls of Flanders Expo in Ghent to present its riches in the form of world-famous actors, international comic artists, thousands of fans dressed up as fictional characters, 54.000 m² of surprising activities, and 250+ exhibitors with geeky merchandise and collector’s items.

FACTS has been around since 1993 and has 30 years of know-how in the comic con world. On top of that, this event is backed by ‘Heroes’, a European network of 9 pop culture events spread across Belgium, The Netherlands, and Sweden. The Belgian event ‘Made in Asia’, for example, is one of those sibling events.

The 2023 editions will be held on 6-7 April and 2-3 November, in Flanders Expo Ghent. If you’re even remotely a fan of fantasy, science fiction, comics, anime, cosplay, video games, board games, films and TV series, then FACTS is a phenomenon that should be on your bucket list.
