This episode scores big on the Vancouver Actor Bingo card, but more than that, 80% of the people turned up in TS later. They really do have just 20 actors up there.

We have, in that one episode,

Sherman Augustus (Earl from The Sentinel)
Jeff Kaake (Brackett from The Sentinel)
Jay Acovone (best known for Stargate but also a Sentinel guest star from Spare Parts; a.k.a The Man Jim Called Chief When We All Know That's BLAIR'S Nickname, Dammit.)
Douglas Stewart (Patrick Donaghue in The Trance)
Sean Campbell (both Stargates and Siege and Four Point Shot as Southern)
Carlo Rota (Jack Buchanan on The Rig)

Now I'm wondering: RB wasn't their first choice for Jim; they wanted the man who played The Flash. Suppose RB hadn't got the job; they were almost guaranteed to have him on TS as a guest at some point, so what kind of character would he have played?

He was a suave villain on Viper, but he'd played a happy go lucky cop after that on OWW. Imagine Jim swaggering in as a Fed, or a witness needing protecting -- or Naomi's current boyfriend, or a prisoner in Prisoner X...

Ooh, so many possibilities!

I can't find a way to save the trailer (flash) despite trying a few methods and programs, but if anyone hasn't seen it, it's here:

I wrote to the people behind it last week and got this reply:

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in WHEELMEN. At this time no distribution has been finalized for the film in North America. As soon as we have additional information, we will update you.
Sincerely Yours,
Timberwolf Productions

My main reason for posting was that I just realized who else in in there with RB; Jim Beaver; Bobby from Supernatural.

Okay, what with being in two films with Jared, I'm now wondering why exactly RB hasn't been on SPN yet given how many shows he guests on.

I might have mentioned this before, but I want him as a mean and moody hunter with an interesting scar, wearing a battered leather jacket and calling the boys 'puppy' at LEAST once as he runs his thumb down the blade of his knife to check how sharp it is.

That's all.

Well. Maybe not all but if I carried on with my ideal plot, it'd get so far into wish fulfillment that I'd blush.

Though given that mpoetess just posted to say that Ben Browder is laying smoochies on Michael Shanks' mouth at Comic-Con (please let there be vid), maybe wishes do come true ;-)))

simboo just asked me if I recognized the actor with Kavan at the start of this week's Supernatural as she thought he was another SGA actor and I squinted at the single dark frame and wondered if it was Grodin.

And she checked, and it was Craig Veroni, so where's my bingo marker?

ETA See?
