Here's the gusts that have been announced so far...

Joey Fatone:
 
Joey is most well known as a member of the multi-platinum selling band *NSYNC. Since then, his credits expand into the world of acting, and even a season on Dancing With The Stars.
Some of Joey's other projects include My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Robot Chicken, Impractical Jokers, Food Network's Rewrapped, and the horror movie Dead 7.
 
 

Billy West:

 
Billy has voiced both Ren & Stimpy on The Ren & Stimpy Show; Doug Funnie and Roger Klotz on Doug; and Philip J. Fry, Professor Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan, and a number of others on Futurama. 
In addition to his original voices, he has had a chance to voice classics like Bugs Bunny in the movie Space Jam, Elmer Fudd, Shaggy Rogers from Scooby Doo, Popeye, Slimer from Extreme Ghostbusters, and Woody Woodpecker.
He also does voices for commercials, and is the current voice of the red M&M and Buzz, the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee.
 
Sam J. Jones:
 
Jones is best known as the iconic character Flash Gordon from the 1980 movie of the same name, as well as his appearances in the recent hit movies Ted and Ted 2.
Some of his other iconic roles include The Highwayman, The Spirit, and Battle Witherspoon in My Chauffeur.
Jones also had noteworthy guests appearances in shows like Baywatch, Stargate SG-1, The A-Team, Thunder In Paradise, Walker: Texas Ranger, and the TV version of Flash Gordon.
 
Roland Paris:
Roland is known best for his work in Spider-Girl, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men, & Ms. Marvel. We are beyond thrilled to welcome Roland back for his second consecutive year at Geek'd Con.
Not only is Roland an incredible artist, he's a Louisiana native, from the greater New Orleans area, which is why Roland made an incredible gesture at last year's Geek'd event, when he offered to make the profits from his Sunday sketches into a donation for the victims of last year's flooding in Southern Louisiana.
 
Kellen Goff & Andy Field:
 
From the insanely popular Five Night's At Freddy's video game series,we have the voice of the title character Funtime Freddy, Kellen Goff, and the voice of HandUnit, Andy Field!
 
Kellen is the first, and only, person to be credited with voicing the title character in the #FNaF franchise! He made his debut in the series with the most recent release, Five Nights At Freddy's: Sister Location, which was released earlier this year.
In the latest installment in the #fnaf series, 'Sister Location', Andy lends his voice to HandUnit, who is your guide through the game. HandUnit quickly became a fan favorite as the game's comic relief. Some of the lines that have become internet phenomenons involve "Eggs Benedict", "controlled shocks", and "Exotic Butters".
