Don’t fret, Buffy and Gilmore Girls fans. The guy behind lovable nerds Jonathan Levinson and Doyle McMaster hasn’t completely bid acting farewell. These days, though, Danny Strong is much busier working behind the camera, penning the scripts to Emmy Award-winning HBO movies (like this year’s Game Change), a Forest Whitaker flick lovingly nicknamed “the black Forrest Gump” (The Butler, out in 2013), and the last two films in the Hunger Games franchise (Mockingjay, parts one and two). Suffice it to say, Strong has had a good year. Here’s how he went from character actor to Hollywood’s hottest screenwriter.

'Fringe,' 'Supernatural,' 'Doctor Who,' 'The Cleveland Show,' and Buffy scheduled for Comic-Con

Things wind down on the final day of Comic-Con as many attendees start exiting San Diego laden with the goodies they’ve picked up at the convention, but there’s still plenty of programming on Sunday for the diehards who stick around. The newly released Sunday schedule is largely packed with kid-focused and comic-book-specific offerings but there are also a few big panels that will be of interest to TV fans.

Fringe will make its final appearance at Comic-Con with a panel in Hall H featuring stars Anna Torv, Josh Jackson, John Noble, Blair Brown, and Lance Reddick, among others, discussing the series’ fifth and final season and screening footage.

Supernatural will also hold a panel in Hall H to tease its upcoming eighth season, which starts in October. On hand will be stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, among others.

The stars and creative team behind the BBC fanboy favorite Doctor Who will present footage from its next season in Hall H, and The Cleveland Show panel will feature a screening of the season 4 premiere episode, “Menace II Secret Society,” with series co-creator Seth MacFarlane and others taking questions.

Finally, for Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans (or just anyone who wants to feel old), there will be a special retrospective panel called “Buffy Turns 20: Celebrating 20 Years of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Series cast members Nicholas Brendon and Clare Kramer and the original movie Buffy, Kristy Swanson, among others, will be on hand to share stories and discuss the legacy of the teenage vampire hunter in TV, film, comics, and video games.
