Title: Connections I didn't make....
Post by: TeaLeaf on October 30, 2014, 08:09:12 AM
Every now and then you come across reference to actors that you used to know and realise that you also know them in another guise.   Well it just happened to me this morning.   May I first introduce you to Stephen Furst, known primarily for his role as 'Flounder' in the comedy classic 'Animal House':

I love Animal House and it's in my collection, I know the film backwards.  I'm also a fan of the 'Babylon 5' series and have the entire series in my collection.  So I'm somewhat embarrassed to have not made this connection before, especially as I now put these two photos together!

Ladies, gentlemen and residents of Babylon 5, I give you Vir Cotto, able assistant to Londo Mollari:

It's wierd how sometimes your brain doesn't make what now seem obvious connections! :blush:

That brings memories.

This was one of the best hilarious moments I still remember.  That wave is evil, from a guy who's usually a bit naive.

Well, we might see a new B5 film in 2017......

Why not crowd fund it, I'd pay, I know it's worth it - and so does Londo.

Nice news indeed, I'd help fund as well.

That article says that Mira and Bruce might be in.  Hopefully Patricia(Lyta) will be in there too.

I'm suddenly getting the urge to re-watch the whole thing.

Recently watched Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2820466/) on Netflix, and there were some pretty surprising names behind the voices.

Also only recently found out that Claudia Black

Is Morrigan from Dragon Age

(http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131027153832/dragonage/images/thumb/d/dd/Morrigan_profile.jpg/265px-Morrigan_profile.webp)

She also plays Cheetah in Justice League: Doom

She also plays Cyadea Diablo3, Vala Mal Doran in Sg-1, Aeryn Sun in Farscape, Sharon in Pitch Black, and Frazer in Uncharted.

She's one of those really good actresses; her voice acting is simply something else.

Yes, I knew her only from Farscape and SG-1 up until recently, but I found out she's been in tons of other stuff that I love, like Mass Effect and loads more. She is really good with accents.
