Actor Ernie Reyes Jr. smiles and waves while holding a small megaphone on a convention show floor. He wears a gray beanie, a plaid jacket over a hoodie, and a backpack. Behind him is a signing table displaying photos, with Calgary Expo branding visible on a backdrop curtain.

Cowabunga! 🐢 Happy Birthday to Ernie Reyes Jr., a true TMNT legend.

Thanks for joining us at #DallasFANFESTIVAL this past fall and bringing total turtle power to the show floor. We hope you have a great birthday!
