Jewel Staite. What a smile!!!!
I like cute chicks just as much as the next guy, but a 25 yr old playing the CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER for a top secret government project? Puh-leeze.
Once an actor/actress does a popular science fiction show, he or she will be forever stuck doing nothing but science fiction.
The lucky ones get work with popular franchises like Stargate, but the rest end up doing B movies that just might get shown the SciFi Channel's saturday night line-up, with titles like "Bigfoot Terror". (snicker!)
I call it being cast into the SciFi Ghetto.
The only real exceptions I can think of are Shatner, Ahhnold, and Sigourney Weaver.
Hehe heh. Back in the 70's when I was a wee lad (and Star Trek fan), my grandma took me to the drive-in see "Big Bad Mama", with Shatner and Angie Dickinson.
