Okay, I'm seeing a lot of afters to.

Gina: both Xina and hercules. Cleopatra? and a pirate queen. Lets not forget Hel in that little gem that was clepatra 2525. Also Sidneys reoccuring nemesis on alias first season.

Space cases was a hoot.
I heard the Bodyguard movie was good.
Well I don't think that was actually worth .02.

long time lurker, first time poster...

I was flippin channels a week or two ago while I was tryin to fall asleep and came across an old episode of the X-files that was about some creepy dude who kidnapped a high school girl.... and who played teh High School girl? none other than a very young looking Jewell Staite. she had to have been 15 or 16.

I'm just sayin... gold.

Adam Baldwin's first major movie role was in Robert Redford's Academy Award Winning 1980 film "Ordinary People". In 2000 he was seen as a loyalist soldier in "The Patriot"

Alan Tudyk had a small part as a janitor/college student in one of the year 2000s most underrated films "Wonder Boys". His one liner stole the movie about how this guy uses pepporika.

Nathan Fillon played Private Ryan, in "Saving Private Ryan". He plays the first one the soldiers come up to who turns out not to be the correct Pvt. Ryan they were looking for.

Yeah. Gina Torres was in the first season of Alias. I loved that role. It was the first time I'd seen Gina and I had an immediate crush. Wasn't the name Anna Espinosa? Whatever happened to that character?

Just saw Morena in Roger Dodger. Small speaking part pre-Firefly.

On a side note: go to imdb and check out Ron Glass's notable TV appearances. It seems like that man was one of the stud guest stars of the seventies.

I shaved off my beard for you, devil woman!

I actually remember seeing Gina Torres in Bed of Roses ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115644/) as a co-worker of the leading lady (played by Mary Stuart Masterson).

Thank you for the link...
that is a very cool site, and I had never seen it before

I'm surprised no one mentioned Ron Glass (Book) on Barney Miller...for years and years
(maybe you have to be my age to remember)

but that great site you linked had complete bios for everyone!

eta: apologies to ManWithPez, who DID mention Barney Miller!

If you haven't seen "My Bodyguard" rent it or borrow it or something--I still think of Adam as "that guy from My Bodyguard."

Now I have to go watch Pvt. Ryan again...
