Like Zecora or Big Mac? Live in Canada or plan to head there near the end of Summer? Good news! Brenda Crichlow and Peter New are going to be attending BronyCAN. Head on down below the break to check out the presser!
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!

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.
