Reading Full Circle now and I have Hugh Laurie (he of Blackadder and House fame) as Voyagers new Councillor.

Counselor. Counselors give counsel. Councillors are members of a council. Many councillors have counsel.

Though that's small consolation.

Given the character shares a first name with Hugh Laurie, his last name is Laurie's alma mater, and his attitude shares much with Laurie's most popular character, I think the casting of Laurie as Counselor Cambridge is definitely going along with the author's intent (though Kirsten will, of course, correct me if I'm wrong....).

Cheers for that, it was very late and I was rather drunk last night when I posted that and just clicked on the first word in the spell check list.

Which character is that? The Prince Regent in Blackadder the Third or George in Blackadder Goes Forth?

I meant Bertie Wooster, of course! Silly sod.....

I'm nearly certain that it has been stated Kirsten based Cambridge on Hugh Laurie/House in the Full Circle thread

I always pictured Ron Glass as Doctor Kez, so much so that I modelled a custom I'm doing of him after the actor

While reading the Titan series, especially Sword of Damocles, the image of Lennie James kept popping into my head whenever I pictured Jaza, even though I was trying to picture Djimon Hounsou.

Possibly because I spent the last month watching BSG but I kept picturing Edward James Olmos as Reyes in Open Secrets.

Paris · June 16 2009, 01:21 AM

^I read some of David Mack's annotations, and he said that he pictured Tommy Lee Jones as Reyes. Ever since I read it, he's all I can picture

JD · June 16 2009, 08:06 PM

I used to pictured Edward James Olmos too, but for some reason he never felt quite right. But ever since watching Caprica I've been picturing Esai Morales, who play's Adama's father instead, and (to me at least) he seems to fit what I have in mind better.

Morales would be a good choice. I can see him, a decade or two older, almost as well as I can Olmos in the role.

I honestly think "The Rock" would an excellent Jem'hadar
