This year’s Comic Con South Africa is set to shine a little brighter, as actor and activist Misha Collins will be making an appearance.
Known worldwide for his blend of creativity, compassion, and fan engagement, Collins is expected to be one of the event’s biggest highlights.
From Angel to Anti-Hero: Who Is Misha Collins?
For many fans, Collins will forever be remembered as Castiel—the beloved trench-coat-wearing angel from Supernatural, the longest-running sci-fi series in American television history.
But his career has stretched far beyond that iconic role. More recently, he stepped into the dark world of Gotham City, portraying Harvey Dent, better known as the villain Two-Face, in the CW series Gotham Knights.
South African audiences may also recall spotting him in hit shows such as 24, ER, and Charmed.
His versatility even took him to the culinary road, hosting the Emmy-nominated PBS series Roadfood in 2022.
A Heart for Activism and Global Kindness
While his acting résumé is impressive, it’s Collins’ activism that truly makes him stand out.
He is the founder of Random Acts, a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring kindness across the globe.
His passion for giving back also birthed GISH—a Guinness World Record-breaking international scavenger hunt that has raised millions for charity while uniting fans worldwide in joyful chaos.
Beyond the Screen: Author, Podcaster, and Creative Force
Collins is also a man of words and imagination. His poetry collection, Some Things I Still Can’t Tell You, became a New York Times bestseller, offering fans a deeper glimpse into his thoughtful side.
His podcast Bridgewater dominated Apple’s fiction charts for two years in a row, further proving his storytelling power.
His creative energy doesn’t stop there. With The Art Department, a project focused on transforming public spaces with bold art installations, Collins continues to show how art and activism can work hand in hand to uplift communities.
Why His Presence Matters at Comic Con South Africa
Bringing both his artistry and humanitarian spirit, Collins’ visit is more than just a celebrity appearance—it’s a chance for fans to connect with someone who has dedicated his platform to creating positive change.
Comic Con organizers promise that his presence will inspire, energize, and remind fans of the power of creativity combined with compassion.
