About BronyCon:  Based in Baltimore, Md., BronyCon is the premiere convention for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fans of all ages. Last year’s event drew more than 9,600 attendees from all seven continents. This year’s event, scheduled for Aug. 7-9, 2015 at the Baltimore Convention Center, is expected to trump that figure. The convention features special guests, diverse programming and a multi-night music festival. For more information, check out bronycon.org.

Are lines that are given short and rhymed, important to ponies when they are well-timed? Ee-yup! BronyCAN is proud to bring you two actors who give life to a pair of curiously-spoken, but sage ponies on the show, Peter New and Brenda Crichlow! Peter voices none other than the laconic Big Macintosh in addition to numerous background voices, while Brenda provides the rhymes for Ponyville’s resident wise-zebra, Zecora! Both will be available through the weekend of Aug 21-23 at BronyCAN 2015!

About Peter New

Peter New is an actor, voice actor and writer. He has over 80 professional credits including: Motive, Delete, Fringe, Mr Young, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon, Psych, Men In Trees and Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. He has voiced many cartoon characters, from ‘Evan’ in Barbie Thumbelina, to ‘Ian Vashti’ in Gundam00, ‘Lunk’ in Powerpuff Girls Z, but is most well known as 'Sunil' in  Littlest Pet Shop, and ‘Big Macintosh’ in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Peter began acting with a sketch comedy troupe called The Legend of Bonefish, who disbanded twenty years ago, although some of those old sketches have sprung up on YouTube, starring middle-aged versions of themselves. Weird. He has broad interests, from astronomy to photography, architecture to environment. He plays a little piano, a bit of guitar, some ukulele, and a passel of drums. One day he wants to cut a record. He enjoys cooking, but more than that, eating. Yummy.
