Bakula

Scott Bakula has scored the second lead role opposite Matt Damon in "The Informant," Steven Soderbergh's espionage thriller for Warner Independent.Bakula will play Brian Shepherd, an FBI agent who exposes an international price-fixing scheme with the help of biochemist Mark Whitacre (Damon). Project is based on a true story; Scott Burns adapted the book by Kurt Eichenwald.
Participant Media and Groundswell are co-producing with WIP. Jennifer Fox and Gregory Jacobs are producing.
Bakula recently appeared on "Boston Legal," reuniting with his "Murphy Brown" co-star Candice Bergen. He is starring in "Dancing in the Dark" at San Diego's Old Globe Theater.
 
I suppose that's nixed any cameo in the new Star Trek film...

Good to hear Bakula's working with a top notch film-maker. His previous cinema appearances were brief and not that memorable. Killed off in Color of Night and a few lines in American Beauty. This co-star role could give him some well deserved screentime.

If any of the main actors(besides Nimoy) from any of the Trek series were to have a part in the new movie, We probably would have heard about it by now.
Still, it's great to see Scott still working.

LOL...has he stopped? With guest starring roles in New Adventures of Old Christine, Boston Legal and the currently running 5 episodes of Tracey Ullman's "State of the Union" (and this is besides his stage work in "Quality of Life" in LA, "An Evening With..." in DC and his current song and dance leading role in "Dancing in the Dark" in San Diego), I don't think he's had time to sleep a wink :lol:!! Oh, and I'm just talking about stuff from the last 9 months:lol::lol::lol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I don't follow the post-Trek careers of Bakula or any other Trek alumni THAT closely.
 
Since it was posted the day before April Fool's Day, I think it's real.

Strange that a biochemist would determine an international price fixing scheme though. (???)

Anyway, it's exciting - real or no - that he's been doing so well. Boston Legal, theater, various television guest spots. Seems like he's faired well after Enterprise.
