So, can anyone do better? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>TSN</b> <br /><small>Member # 31</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2007,1,19,12,38,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">February 19, 2007</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:38 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> According to the IMDb, there's no-one in common between <i>Independence Day</i> and "Farscape".<br /><br />However—and I dare you to get more obscure than this—Lev Mailer, who did uncredited post-production voice work for <i>Independence Day</i>, played "Imperial Guard #1" in "The Star Wars Holiday Special".
