Actor Nick Frost talks Florida Supercon, Fighting With My Family, The Rock, FSCW, Miami, soccer

Pro wrestling will be well represented when Florida Supercon returns to Miami-Dade County from July 4 to 7 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

One of the top celebs is actor Nick Frost, who portrayed Ricky Knight, the dad of WWE Superstar Paige in the movie “Fighting With My Family,” the story of Paige and her wrestling family in England, also home of Frost.

The successful movie, a biopic from a documentary, is a WWE Studios and Seven Bucks Productions venture under the auspices of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Dany Garcia.

Frost, 47, is also a comedian, screenwriter, producer, and author, and he regularly collaborates with longtime friend and actor Simon Pegg.

Frost was in the movie “Snow White and the Huntsman” and lent his voice to “The Adventures of Tintin.” He appeared in cult classics like “Spaced,” “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz” and “Attack the Block.”

Frost played rugby and soccer growing up and is a soccer fan. He also watched pro wrestling, noting his favorites.

In an audio interview with Frost, he discusses those favorites, Florida Supercon, visiting Miami, “Fighting With My Family,” The Rock, soccer and more.

Frost, who has a booth at Florida Supercon July 5-7, conducts a Q&A for fans at 5 p.m. on July 6 in Grand Ballroom A.
