Because we're science fiction fans, we tried Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles when it started last year, and we've kept up this year.
One of the guest stars, playing a continuing character, has been Stephanie Jacobsen, a very striking, very petite, young woman with an Australian accent. She played a conflicted character; very tough; making questionable moral choices for what she believed was the greater good.
Well, this very same actress played a very similar character in Battlestar Galactica: Razor, a special movie in the BSG universe.
I would have sworn she was in an episode or two of Lost, playing a very similar character, but I can't find evidence of that. We're almost to that point in our re-viewing of Lost, so I imagine I'll find out that the character who was put in charge of the mission to the island was someone who looked like her.
In any case, it appears she won't be returning to Terminator for some time, so I figured she could look for work on some other sci-fi show.
But Wikipedia says she's about to join a re-cast revival of Melrose Place. Now, from my point of view, that's a real downgrade. But I guess an actress has to eat. And if there are no cool sci-fi shows hiring, she has to take work where she can get it.
Still, couldn't Fringe use a character like hers. For a while?
