Numb3rs: "In Security"

[kerravonsen]

What a twisted tale that was. I kind of lost track who was selling out whom at the end.

But the thing that made me grin was the appearance of the guy playing the FBI gang specialist. I heard his voice, and thought, "Surely it can't be...?" and eagerly waited for him to turn around, so I could get a better look at the actor's face.

Yes, it was James Morrison.

Of course, most of you are going to go "Who?", and I expect if I tell you he's the guy who played McQueen in "Space: Above and Beyond", you'll go "So what?". For me, that's not the case, because James Morrison is someone whom I esteem greatly as a person, more than I admire him as an actor. So it always gives me pleasure to see him, even if it's just a guest-part.

How very fantastic! The name to me sounds familiar, but to my knowledge, I'm not actually familiar with his work.

Also, this means that you can now read all of my N3 fic, as the last one I wrote was a post-ep of "In Security." If you're interested.

Cast the wayback machine to 1998, when I visited the UK for the 20th Anniversary Blake's 7 convention, "Deliverance". It so happened that there was another media SF convention the week before, Neutral Zone, so I decided to plan my trip around both of them. Neutral Zone had a mix of guests, one from Babylon 5, two from SAAB, and one from B7. I wasn't really interested in the B5 guest, but I was interested in the others. I can't remember whether I was particularly a McQueen fan before that convention, but I was definitely a James Morrison fan after it. It was like-at-first-sight. He's a quiet, considerate, multi-talented, introspective, insightful person, a seeker, and I wish him well.
