Here are some details you missed, DT.
Barry Bostwick, Thodin in [i]I Worship His Shadow[/i], is an accomplished stage actor (he originated the role of Danny Zuko in the musical [i]Grease[/i]) and veteran of numerous film and TV projects. Best-known today for his role as the mayor of NYC in [i]Spin City[/i], he’s portrayed the first president of the US in two [i]George Washington[/i] mini-series (which, along with his roles in such mini-series as [i]Scruples[/i] and [i]A Woman of Substance[/i], cemented his title of “King of the Mini-Series”), narrated [i]Fantastic Planet[/i], and is perhaps best-known for his role as Brad Majors in the perennial midnight-movie hit [i]The Rocky Horror Picture Show[/i], where he co-starred with Tim Curry (in the role of Frank N. Furter), later to portray Poet Man in [i]Super Nova[/i].
Ralph Brown, who portrayed Duke in Season 3, has had a number of notable supporting roles. Included are [i]Withnail and I[/i] (as Danny), [i]Buster[/i] (as Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs), [i]Alien3[/i] (as Aaron), [i]Wayne’s World 2[/i] (as the world’s greatest roadie, Del Preston) and [i]Star Wars: Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace[/i] (as Ric Olie).
In addition to the credits you listed for Nigel Bennett, you’d be remiss in failing to mention his role as Lucien LaCroix in [i]Forever Knight[/i], for which he won a Gemini Award.
You ignore some of Rutger Hauer’s most notable work in your bio, including [i]Blade Runner, Ladyhawke, Nighthawks, The Hitcher[/i] and [i]Fatherland,[/i] for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe.
Malcolm McDowell’s career extends far past [i]Star Trek, LEXX[/i] or [i]A Clockwork Orange[/i]. He is also known for his recurring role of Mick Travis in Lindsay Anderson’s celebrated loose trilogy of films, [i]If…, O Lucky Man![/i] and [i]Britannia Hospital[/i]. He portrays the titular mad Roman emperor in the notorious film [i]Caligula[/i], starred in [i]Look Back in Anger[/i], and has had supporting roles in too many films to list here.
