This week on June15, 2021 Team WHR had the honor of interviewing Jonathan Walker, Show Runner and Executive Producer for the superb science fiction fantasy Van Helsing series!

During our time with Mr. Walker, we discussed not only his role in seasons four and five of the Van Helsing series as the Show Runner, we discussed first meeting Mr. Walker at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019 and his many memorable roles as an actor in many fan favorite programs such as Stargate SG-1, The X-Files, V Series, Fringe, Smallville, Continuum (both as a feature actor in the series and as co-executive producer), and a personal favorite role of my own when Jonathan Walker was featured in the hit 2010 movie RED with such notable actors as Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Karl Urban, and John Malkovich

The majority of our WormholeRiders You Decide video interview, included below for your enjoyment, concentrates on his role as the Show Runner and Executive Producer of Van Helsing series.

Jonathan Walker shared many details about the fifth and final season and described with glee what a privilege it has been to work with all the creators, actor and crews of the Van Helsing series!

Additional fun focus occurred at the beginning of our interview with Mr. Walker, when we spent some time chatting about another favorite science fiction series of ours that Jonathan was featured in. All will no doubt remember his notable role as “Big John”, a “Tailee” (pictured left), in season one of the hit science fiction series Snowpiercer.
