Did anyone else notice that the actor for Zek is in Young Sheldon?

[hxclespaulplayer]

I dismissed him as being too tall despite the distinctive voice - but sure enough, it's Wallace Shawn!

Wallace Shawn is great, especially with that voice, but Young Sheldon holds no appeal whatsoever so i'll take your word for that, lol.

Wallace Shawn is a great actor who's played a lot of memorable parts, on stage, movies, and TV. (I'm not sure who Young Sheldon is, though.) He's also written several plays.

Young Sheldon is the prequel to The Big Bang Theory.

But, yes, Shawn was a well-known actor before DS9. See MY DINNER WITH ANDRE, in particular.

Or Princess Bride.

INCONCEIVABLE!

Wallace Shawn seems to be very humble, so much so that he downplays his acting career even though some of his roles (most notably his role in The Princess Bride) are iconic.

Fine actor. Also in Family Guy.

Never watched Young Sheldon. I don't think I've ever even heard of it.
But I think they had the actor that played Alexander, also playing a Jem-Hadar. I thought that was funny.
I think it was the same person. Not sure how to even check it out.

I confess that I'm watching Young Sheldon. Shawn's character is courting Annie Potts' character (Sheldon's Memaw). The actors play well against each other. It's been very cute.

Oh yeah! Now that you pointed it out it's obvious. Young Sheldon is the best comedy on tv now - especially for those of us who grew up in the 80s and early 90s.

 

[Captain Chris]

I did. The voice was the tip off. LoL.

 

[worf1965]

The kid who played Alexander alsp played Alex Keaton's baby brother on Family Ties. Think he's totally messed up now.

 

[Captain Chris]

Alexander who?

 

[worf1965]

Worf's son.

 

[Captain Chris]

Worf's son.

He died in January. Sad.

 

[Nakita Akita]

He died in January. Sad.

Oh that's sad. It's sad when a younger person dies, I think. Although, he probably wasn't all that young.

I saw the lady that play Ezri Dax on a show last night.
A new detective show!

You did?!? Do you remember the name of the show?

 

[saladdays]

You did?!? Do you remember the name of the show?

I think it's called Private Eyes.

Thanks. I'll have to check it out.
