Downtown St. Louis will be full of cosplayers, voice actors, and comic fans alike this weekend.
GalaxyCon returns to America's Center today through Sunday and features an elite lineup of pop culture celebrities, including Austin St. John, who played the original Red Power Ranger.
"I got to tell you, this is 33 years of Power Rangers and I love it more now than I think I did then because I get to hear the stories straight from people's mouths," St. John said. "I have fans from 5 to almost 45 now, and I get to watch grown men and women sometimes instantly travel time back to age five. You just get to watch their faces light up and you get to share their stories."

St. John explained that one of his favorite aspects of the convention is the creative cosplays.
"Everything from Lord of the Rings to tons of anime characters, some of them I don't even know what they are but they look cool," St. John said. "I'm like, 'look, that sword's bigger than the human carrying it, that's amazing.'"
St. John will be joined by Walter Jones -- the original Black Power Ranger -- during a Q & A session on Sunday at 2 p.m.
GalaxyCon runs from 2 to 9 p.m. tonight, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Admission costs $40.
