Flint in season 5

[Guy Gardener]

Didn't look much like John Rhys Davies, but that's who should have been cast because of his Voyager outtings as Da Vinci.

James Morrison from Space Above And Beyond would be my pick for Flint if they'd had him in ENT

The holographic Da Vinci doesn't necessarily look like the real one. Just as they didn't use the same the actor for the holographic Sir Isaac Newton in "Descent" and the real one on "Death Wish"

You mean James Morrison from "24". Actually, he was a series regular on 24 during what would've been Enterprise's fifth season and might not have had time to do it. (That and networks occasioanly veto actors from shows on their networks doing shows on competing netorks, though there many exceptions to this).

That, and, aside from the silver hair, he doesn't look much like James Daly.

S'okay. Flint didn't look any more like Brahms than he did Beethoven. Must have been the <tech!>

And Zephram Cochrane didn't look like.. Zephram Cochrane.

24's rampant use of Canadian actors aside, wasn't it filmed in L.A. just like ENT was? Morrison could have just gone to a different studio in order to appear on the show.

I suppose it's possible. I'm pretty sure Gregory Itzin played Admiral Black while he was playing Charles Logan (when did he have time to grow that beard?), but he wasn't technically a series regular at the time.

As I said, if an actor is a contracted regular on the show, the network sometimes vetoes that actor from doing guest spots on shows on other networks. (And yes, there are exceptions. I think Morrison did an episode of "Numbers" while he was on "24").

Again, apart from hair color, though, I don't think he looks ton like James Daly.

I think Morrison would have been a great Flint. I loved him on 24. That soft, smoky voice - pensive and a little melancholy, like Daly.
