[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Inspired by this CNN article: http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/03/30/leisure.world.reut/index.html I'm wondering what the longest-running regular role in sci-fi is, played by the same actor. Most SF shows don't run long in the first place, so we're pretty narrowed. What do we have here? -Doctor Who lasted twenty-seven (now twenty-nine) years, but not consecutively and with a constantly changing cast. The longest-lasting Doctor was Tom Baker, with seven years. -Most of the regulars on TNG, DS9 and VOY all had seven years. -Amanda Tapping and Chris Judge as Samantha Carter and Teal'c on SG-1 will have ten years by the end of next year. -Michael Shanks took the sixth year "off", but still managed three pivotal appearances as Daniel Jackson and another two as Thor in the same show. He essentially skipped out on being the secondary character in all the other episodes that season, despite being a recurring character. So would he have ten years? -By the same token, Michael Dorn did seven years as Worf for TNG, but before doing it again for four years on DS9 he did the "Generations" movie during the year between. So it's not eleven CONSECUTIVE years, but it's still eleven years... Anyone else? Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
