Yeah, but it gives him even less fame than Gollum for Andy Serkis. You play a lead in a blockbuster, but your face doesn't even show up once. Major bummer. Maybe people even think "that robot was GREAT!", but who really knows who played it?

Maybe there's gonna be a new Oscars(tm) category for that sometime in the future. "Best virtual actress/actor" or something.

Yeah, well, maybe that's because stuntpeople are generally considered workers, not artists, and that if stuntpeople got their own Oscar(tm) category, gaffers would want theirs next or something. Sort of like a 2-classes society.
Apart from that, people wanna see stars when they're watching the Awards.
Or am I off there? I don't know how the Oscars(tm) work. I prefer Awards that are given by consumers, not commitees, anyways. Less politics there.

At last.
We can retire and give up
this life of crime.

Adam Baldwin is also on the Inside (although I think it got cancelled) playing and ex-marine FBI agent called Danny Love. Pretty much Jayne but cleaner, beardless and slightly cleverer.

I love Wash! Bring back Wash!

Did anyone see Adam in Bones? It was hilarious coming upon him out of the blue! I got shouted at for my sqeals of glee!

For those that watch and don't care to know:

Select to view spoiler:

He played a straight-laced FBI agent who turned out to be crooked and in the employ of the Maffia. I of course saw it coming. After all, it was Jayne!!

Exactly. There was a lot of grief trying to ratify those awards.

Negotiations were going fine with 'Best Loader', 'Best Caterer', 'Best Grip' etc, but things descended into a bit of a brawl when they got round to 'Best Best Boy'.

He's in 'The Patriot' too, as a collaborating Dragoon.

He plays the Major who shoots the can off the space ship when they give it a virus on earth as a demo.

I swear I wasn't obsessed with that movie . . .

AND he was on the X-files.

I LOVE INSOMNIA!
