Mekhi Phifer (ER) joins Torchwood: The New World

[Worf2DS9]

Cool bit of news although I never saw him on E.R. I only know him from his two guest appearances on Homicide: Life on the Street (and that's fairly recently).

Homicide was on ages ago here, so I don't remember him from that, but I definitely remember him from E.R. and Dawn of the Dead. Good casting!

Nice bit of casting, but the name really needs to change. It's too British-sounding. I've never met an American named Rex.

I've never met ANYONE named Rex.

What about the guy from Streethawk, who played Daredevil in The Trial of the Incredible Hulk?

I have no idea what you're talking about. What the heck is Streethawk?

^ It was a tv show in the 1980s. Like Knightrider but with a motorbike. The lead actor was Rex Smith.

1985, huh? I was just being born.

*watches intro sequence on YouTube* like Knightrider? looks like a total Knightrider rip-off to me.

 

[WillsBabe]

Well, it's either that or use his full name: Rexacoricofallapatorius.

Easy for you to say...

I've no idea who this bloke is, so I'll wait and see.

Stop making me feel old! You asked, I told ya!!!!!

Phifer was pretty good on Lie to Me. I was sad to see him leave that show when the writers decided to end the Lightman Group's relationship with the FBI.


In other casting news, Bill Pullman has joined the show as well.

 

[RoJoHen]

Bill Pullman...really? I am suddenly a lot less impressed.

 

[Chaos Descending]

Huh? What have you got against Bill Pullman?

 

[RoJoHen]

I just find him really mediocre.

 

[wamdue]

A-hahaha!

Wait, no.

BOOOOOOO!!!

...as the US President that fights off the alien invasion in a fighter jet. Yay!

 

[Admiral_Young]

Just saw the Bill Pullman casting...wow. This is going to be really interesting to see next year. Can't wait for the first trailer.

 

[Starkers]

Man this is getting interesting now, but I can't help feeling the show's gonna feel a little weird. I just can't see Bill Pullman sharing a scene with Rhys

I just find him [Bill Pullman] really mediocre.

You should watch a movie he made called Zero Effect. He's superb in it. A real under-appreciated gem.

Agreed!! Glad to see someone else has seen that one...

Rex - Primeval

I'm with Wamdue. The name Rex is not British, it's canine!

I stopped watching Torchwood after season one and the casting news so far makes me want to give it another shot.

You should. Season 1 is easily Torchwood at its worst.
