Billy Bolt is a New Mexico-based cosplayer, propmaker, and entertainer who describes himself as a "professional nerd". Since 2013, Billy has been debuting elaborate foam and light-up cosplays at conventions, from Doctor Strange's magic disks to Escanor's "Rita" axe. He has also worked on several film and TV productions, including Coyote Vs Acme and special FX makeup on American Primeval, with propwork appearing at multiple Marvel red carpet premieres. Billy always strives to brighten someone else's day, whether through comedy, paneling, cosplay, or a simple smile. He enjoys lending a helping hand to other cosplayers, providing crafting advice and emotional support to help create a more positive community. Billy started his journey at Phoenix Fan Fusion when he was 15 years old and is incredibly excited to return to the convention that started it all, but this time as a cosplay guest.
