    I think Tim Russ would be an excellent choice to play Obama.

    Even if they don't exactly resemble each other (which is nothing new; does anyone seriously think that Frank Langella or Anthony Hopkins actually look like Nixon?), they both have a commanding tone of voice, which is arguably even more important in a successful screen portrayal.

    Yeah, nor does Will Smith really look a lot like Muhammed Ali.

    I'm so glad someone posted that here, as I had seen it this morning and was about to post it... i thought it was a hilarious article... although 99.9% of aussies would be like 'who the hell or what the hell is a tuvok?'

    Yay Voyager made the Aussie news! Woo hoo!

    ^^^I know! Was catching up on the news at work and saw on the front page of The Age website a picture of Tuvok. Quite unexpected!

    Hey, maybe mirror Archer is right: Vulcans are trying to take over Earth!

    Yess! I've seen a lot of those pictures; they're hillarious. Imagine, Tuvok as President of USA...that would be interesting.

    You have no idea, as an Aussie, how excited I was to see Tuvok in our news... as silly as the article is... I mean, how marginalised are we - Aussie Voyager Fans... its akin to see a shooting star... LOL...

    Hmmm. Come to think of it, Mulgrew and Palin have never been at the same convention, either....
