The NorthEast ComicCon is thrilled to announce that Ming Chen will be a featured guest at our Holiday Shopping Extravaganza, taking place from November 29 to December 1, 2024. Fans of the multi-talented actor, podcaster, reality television personality, and webmaster will have the unique opportunity to meet him in person, hear his stories, and celebrate his contributions to the world of comics and pop culture.
A Multifaceted Career
Ming Chen’s journey in the entertainment industry is nothing short of inspiring. Born in Euclid, Ohio, Chen’s passion for comics and pop culture began at an early age. His career took a significant turn when he created a fan website dedicated to Kevin Smith’s film “Clerks” in 1996. This caught the attention of Smith himself, leading to a long-standing professional relationship. Chen became the webmaster for Smith’s production company, View Askew Productions, and has been an integral part of the team ever since.
Chen’s versatility is evident in his various roles. He co-hosts the popular podcasts “I Sell Comics!” and “Ming & Mike Show” with Mike Zapcic, where they discuss everything from the latest comic book releases to behind-the-scenes stories from their time at Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret Stash. Chen starred in the AMC reality series “Comic Book Men,” which aired for seven seasons, showcasing the daily operations of the comic book store and unique interactions with its customers.
In addition to his work in television and podcasts, Chen co-founded A Shared Universe PodcaStudio with Mike Zapcic in 2018. The studio provides a space for podcasters of all levels to create and share their content. With locations in New Jersey, A Shared Universe has become a hub for creativity and collaboration, reflecting Chen’s commitment to fostering a supportive community for podcasters.
