Wuz watching Hawai'i 5.0 last night.  James Marsters was the guest star bad guy.  I thought it worked for him.

Yeah, I loved it! Alex O'Laughlin is a personal favorite of mine and just about everybody on this forum knows how I feel about Marsters so as you might guess, I was in heaven. Seriously, though, I loved the show! Great character chemistry, even though it was just the first ep. I have very high hopes for the show.

Apropos of nothing but who played vampires well on TV, the *best* I've ever seen was Kyle Schmid in "Blood Ties".  He played Henry Fitzroy, bastard son of King Henry VIII.  He had to play what Tanya Huff in her books describes as Prince of the Night/Prince of Man.  He manages to do both with a fluidity that's surprising.  He has both nobility and regal bearing, and then with a tilt of his head and a twist of his lips, he's the feral hunter with barely leashed hunger.  It's a performance that I applaud.  Really great acting.

Not saying this is it, but part of that could be due to his Spike accent. Although he is American he can do just about any accent - Cockney on "Buffy" and "Angel," a Louisiana bayou accent he auditioned with (back when Whedon though Spike was going to be Cajun,) a hilariously good French accent I heard him do on an interview, and was that a Scottish accent on "Hawaii 5-0" last night?

Irish :) The nuances are very similar, but an Irish accent has a bit more of a old-worldy inflection to it. But my ears may be biased. I love Ireland :)

Hmm...good ear. For some reason I tend to assume Scottish first (maybe because my Mom loves Scotland.) I see what you mean about there being a difference though. I should have known it was Irish since I tend to like Irish actors' voices better than Scottish ones. (In this case I guess I just assumed it was my bias for Marsters showing through, again.)  ;)

Ooh...his voice is pretty awesome! Didn't care for him much as Bond, although this may just be because I don't tend to like the slow pacing of older movies (except "Casablanca"...loved that movie!) But he was AWESOME as Indy's dad!

Out of curiosity, and since most people (including me) don't seem to like Moses' choice of Dakota Fanning as Molly, what does everyone think of her being cast as Tessa? Tessa is described as being short, lithe, and looking like a 15 year old.

*blinks*

... You mean Aurora?

How did we go from Tessa to Aurora there? Is there a universal translator for text built into the forum that I wasn't aware of? *genuinely confused*
