Okay, I found a link for Farscape! (I cheated by using imdb.com - so sue me. [Razz] ) Kent McCord, who played Crichton's dad, was also Commander Scott Keller in Seaquest for several episodes, AND (brace yourselves) a regular on Galactica 1980 as Captain Troy.

Well. I think I need a shower now.

Normally, I would expect "Marian" to be a female name (since it's closer to "Marianne"), and "Marion" to be male. But people don't always actually think before they name their children.

I'm still surprised that someone was named after Maid Marion. I mean, it's interesting and all (and certainly better than the trend of giving people normal names spelt extremely stupidly), but I am curious as to why, Marian. Was it just a name they thought sounded cool, had they just watched the Disney version minutes before your mother went into labour, or were they hoping you'd grow up to get kidnapped and then rescued by a man who wore green tights?

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

The pilot episode of Space: Above and Beyond was filmed in Australia - so I'm sure there are some sorts of cross-overs to be had there?

I don't think anyone has specifically mentioned "Don S. Davis"

Major Briggs in "Twin Peaks" had something to do with Project Blue Book... a secret government investigation into UFOs and the paranormal - i believe.

Captain Scully in The X-Files... a show about secret government organisations and the paranormal. [Smile]

In Stargate-SG1 as Major General George Hammond of course. The Stargate program being a secret government organisation...

And I've met him at a Stargate-SG1 convention here in Brisbane - VERY nice guy. Teryl Rothery Also came (Dr. Fraser) VERY VERY nice lady. [Smile]

If I remember correctly (and please shoot me for remembering this), he was the one that dragged the Seaquest to another planet.

I got that beat. The one and only actor to appear in both a Star Trek series and Star Wars movie.

Clive Revill played Sir Guy of Gisborne in "Q-Pid" and was the first Emporer Palpatine shown in the hologram in "The Empire Strikes Back".

This doesn't really fit but both actors who have played Mr. Rourke in the new and old versions of "Fantasy Island", Ricardo Mantalban and Malcolm McDowell, both played villains in Star Trek movies, Khan and Soren respectively.

Unless I missed someone else saying it, Brian Thompson was also in an episode of Crusade.

And what about David Warner? Has anyone mentioned him?

Got me; they never said, and I never cared enough to ask.

I can say for certain that
  • Men who wear tights would not appeal to my parents, especially my father, and
  • I'm too old to be named after the Disney film. Though it was a favourite of my childhood, and
  • They were never hippies.

Who knows? Maybe agent orange messed with their heads--they did meet in Vietnam. (In fact, it's possible I was concieved "in country.")

So what about you? Were you named after Liam Neeson? [Big Grin]

That's it! That's what I saw him in recently. And it is listed on IMDb. I must just have skimmed over it.

You mean "the first Emperor Palpatine heard in the hologram in "The Emptire Strikes Back". The visual was a puppet. Therefore, Clive Revill never "appeared" in Star Wars.

He did voices in Transformers though. Which is (sort of) sci-fi.
