Fancy meeting YOU here!

[Aquarius]

That was "Master of Disguise."

Forgot to mention--Rosalind Chao was on CSI this week.

And I'm presently watching one of many SG1 episodes John DeLancie has been on. I really like him as an actor.

[enterprikayak]

she was on an old M*A*S*H* episode too. I was watching a rerun when I was 15, and I was like, "HEY!"

[Aikiweezie]

Oh, My Goodness.....Crazy Renee Walker fron "24" was "Liana" in "Oasis! Another Star Trek connection to "24!" Weird.............

[honeybee]

Not when you figure that Manny Coto is the show runner right now. I'm sure he works with the same casting people that he knows from his Trek work!

[Aquarius]

Here's one: I've been watching Caprica, and Paula Malcolmson, who played Malcolm's sister in "Silent Enemy" is a regular.

Weirdest "Fancy Meeting you Here." Long ago I was watching an old movie about the building of the atomic bomb: "Fat Boy and Little Man." The guy playing Robert Oppenheimer looked so familiar, but I sure couldn't place him. Of course Oppenhiemer was this sauve, sophisticated ladies' man, take charge guy, with a tortured soul. He was played by this guy:

Anyone recognize the Star Trek character? It took me the whole entire movie before I could figure it out:

SPOILER!!!:

Barklay (actor Dwight Shultz)

That's when I realized this guy is a GREAT actor.

No kidding! And DAMN he is good looking in that link.
Star Trek has always cast outstanding actors.

Dominic Keating was in this week's CSI: NY. Watch it here (sorry, I think it's US only). He is convincingly eeeeevil, if with a very strange accent. (Brit-Texan, maybe?)

[Aquarius]

Aw, crap! I knew I forgot to post about something today!

He played Rufus, a creepy-assed drug dealer. Convincingly menacing, yes.

And yeah, JzK--I was a little "WTF???" over that accent. I had to laugh, too, when he called those two girls "crazy-assed bitches"!--just so incongruous to how I'm used to seeing him speak. It was like last year when Jolene was on CSI Miami, when she referred to a shoplifter as "That bitch" was funny when imaging it coming out of T'Pol.

It's old news, but Scott Bakula played on a couple of second-season episodes of "Chuck" that I watched on DVD recently. He played Chuck's dead-beat crazy Dad who abandoned him and his sister when they were children. Sarah uses the CIA database to help Chuck find him so he can give Chuck's sister away at her wedding. It was weird at the beginning to see him playing a very convincing character with mental illness, but his transformation to ScientificGeniusSecretAgentMan! was very Archer. I liked it, even though it was sort of predictable. That wasn't his fault, though. The writers did that. Scott's a very good actor. He sure had me convinced he was crazy.

Here's one that's kind of hard to share, unless I can find a link to it on the web somewhere. I know this isn't about something the actor himself did, but it was a surprise when it turned up for me the other day.

Most of you know that I was pretty active in Star Wars fandom before I got here. There is a BNF named Leela Starsky who writes and does fanart in the Han/Leia fandom--I'm not talking photomanips, I'm talking dead-ringer portraits and illustrations.

So she has several epic fics, but one in particular is "Family Matters" in which Han Solo encounters his estranged brother. At the bottom of the page is an illustration...and damned if it isn't Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Scott Bakula!! Somewhere in the author's notes she says that yes, Scott was her inspiration for the character of Han's brother. This was years before Enterprise, probably about the time of Quantum Leap.

I'll try to find a link to the picture to share.

ETA: I goofed. The fic is "Under Coruscant." "Family Matters" was a sequel, I think. Any way, at Leela's Yahoo group, the illo is there: Han, Leia, and a young Scott Bakula as Brennon. I remember years ago, thumbing through the zine this appeared in, thinking, "Hey, that looks like Scott Bakula." DUH!!

[Reanok]

Scott Bakula is going to be in Old Christine. and he's filming 3more Chuck shows leading up to the season3 finale May 24.Christopher LLoyd is going to be playing Chuck's therapist in a new show in the next few weeks.

[crystalswolf]

I'm surprised I didn't see it, or perhaps I missed it , but Jolene Blalock played the wife of a patient of the week on House. They were porn stars if I remember correctly. She had dark hair and I didn't recognize her until she spoke.

Also, I'm sure everyone probably knows Seth McFarlane (Family Guy) was on Enterprise twice but I just recently noticed him when SyFy played one episode and I had to rush to IMDB to make sure it was him.

Okay, just saw that Connor Trinneer was on Lincoln Heights. I like the show when I can watch it (if I remember correctly it's on at the same time as House) but now I have more of an incentive to watch!!!

Malcolm was on CSI NY Wednsday. I didn't know him on sight great makeup and seriously freaky mullet wig. and he was the killer. Took an ax to 4 people. Really creepy bad guy drug dealer. Thank God for the accent and the credits, otherwise I would have missed him.
