The 26th Century

Yep, his name on the movie was "Brandon" he was the kid that was a big fan.

Buck's womanizing classmate is Flash. And if you've taken a guess at what gave me the idea to name a character Flash in this series your properly right.

Tom Welling what I've seen him in is Smallville, but it's been a while since the last time I watched that. Maybe McGregor on De-Pas, cause Welling comes a cross to me as being a tad too young for the part. Although I'm with you, Mariet on " but I hadn't exactly imagined De-Pas looking like him." I think he's a fine actor, ... any other thoughts, any one, on who could play De-Pas?

Erin..

I found 2 you might want to check on. They are...

1) Tahmoh Penikett..played in.. "Battlestar Galactica" as Lt. Karl C. 'Helo' Agathon. and "Stargate SG-1" and "Dark Angel."


2)Aaron Douglas..played in.."Battlestar Galactica" as "Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol" Also in.. "X2" as "Stryker Soldier #1"... and in "Stargate SG-1" as "Jaffa"

Maybe Tahmoh Penikett, Mariet what do you think?


Erin

Hard to say because I know neither of them! I've never watched the new Battlestar Galactica.

But I looked up their pictures and based on looks alone, I guess I'd lean slightly more toward Tahmoh Penikett too.

Mariet

I know this is just for fun, so I'll say that I would have unknowns cast in the parts.

Kevin Ostenstad as Buck Rogers

Nicole Wiesner as Wilma Deering

Please note that I am TOTALLY biased, as these two actors have worked for me on my first feature movie- but I know that Kevin can be charming (in a Gil Gerard kind of way) and Nicole can be a commanding presence as Wilma.

Here's a shot of the two of them.

(It's a teaser poster of sorts for my own movie- sorry about the blatant plug.)

I was coming across Presidents and Vice Presidents of the United States, and I was surprised to see that Charles Curtis, the commander of the Nova Fleet 2 and the arch enemy of Buck in "The Draconian Wars" was a real person. He was the 31st Vice President of the United States. I can't but if someone would like to upload the picture, don't hesitate.

Thank you.

Maybe it's just because they share the same name, and are both old (in the picture, anyways), but that is the face that I get when I think of Charles Curtis (character, not VP) now. I can even see a little smudge of a vest by the end of the tie. I guess if I would have to pick an actor, I would now be thinking along the lines of looking like that.

I tried to picture him wearing a bow tie. Neat find of information, OB .


Erin

It's amazing, because I've never heard of a real Charles Curtis before looking up the Vice Presidents. I think he fits the role perfectly, as I've stated above.

But, I found out something else. In an upcoming movie Whispers Like Thunder, he will be portrayed by Ben Kingsley. Again, I can't put the picture up, but here's the link to a picture of him out of role (picture was taken from wikipedia, and I don't claim credit for it in any way).

Now picture him in a bolo tie.

Now I'm trying to picture him with a bolo tie and hair .
