Fannish Items of Interest

A prequel for Doctor Who’s The Impossible Astronaut has been released.

15 sci-fi actors we’d watch in anything. I agree with almost everyone on this list, save Neal McDonough, and the ones that I’ve never heard of, like Harold Perrineau, Enver Gjokaj, and Ian McShane.

Warren Beatty retains the rights to Dick Tracy.

The Gallifrey Road t-shirt.

Bryan Singer reflects on Superman Returns.

Neil Gaiman discusses the upcoming Good Omens mini-series.

Diana Wynne Jones passed away yesterday at the age of 76, following a year-long struggle with cancer. May she rest in peace.

That was a good, if not complete list of actors. I'm with you on the "did not recognize" list - except for Ian McShane! It only lasted about 10 episodes, but you've got to check out Kings. And while the language is tough at first, Deadwood is so worth your time :-)

I agree with some of the commenters that David Hewlitt and James Marsters needed to be on the list. I'm not a huge Marster's fan myself, but there's a huge chunk of fandom that follows them. Once SPN ends, Jared and Jensen will have followings like that to every show they go to.

Deadwood was never one that I cared to watch, since I hate westerns. With Kings, I just wasn't interested in the premise. Plus, the one time Dad attempted to download Deadwood for himself from a torrent, we ended up with a cease and desist e-mail from Comcast within 10 minutes. They had received some sort of notification from HBO within 5 minutes.

I'm slightly surprised David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston weren't listed, too, since so many people follow them everywhere from project to project.
