Michael J. Pollard, who portrayed the diminutive trans-dimensional imp Mister Mxyzptlk in two episodes of the Superboy television series, is scheduled to appear at the Anaheim Comic Con April 16th, 17th and 18th.

Pollard is noted for his short stature, which had him playing child roles well into his twenties (including on Star Trek, where he played one of the inhabitants of the planet of children in the episode "Miri") and resulted in a recurring role as the diminutive trans-dimensional imp Mister Mxyzptlk in two episodes of the Superboy television series. He also appeared in a memorable first season episode of Irwin Allen's Lost In Space series as a mysterious boy who lives on the other side of all mirrors. Adept at comic roles with an odd edge, he had a stand-out bit part in the classic Norman Jewison Cold War comedy The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming. He also played Packy in Hannibal Brooks.

Pollard appeared in episode #2-30 of The Andy Griffith Show which originally aired on April 30, 1962, as Barney Fife's clumsy young cousin, Virgil, who stops by for a visit and manages to wreak havoc at the courthouse. He starred in the film Dirty Little Billy (1972), set in Coffeyville, Kansas, portrayed Billy the Kid at the beginning of his criminal career.

Pollard had a key supporting role in the 1980 cult film Melvin and Howard about the Melvin Dummar Howard Hughes Mormon Will controversy.

Actor Michael J. Fox has stated that he adopted the J. in his name as a homage to Pollard.

Pollard suggested the title "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" for the Traffic song of the same name. He has continued to work in film and television into this century.

Other Superman alumni members joining Mr. Pollard at the convention will be Aaron Smolinski (infant Kal-El - Superman: The Movie) and Ilya Salkind (Executive Producer - Superman: The Movie, Superman: II and Superman: III).
