FLASH FORWARD
Mar. 14th, 2009 10:33 amI don't know how many of you are reading Robert Sawyer's website for updates on the pilot. But I thought you would be interested in this little bit............
We met Jack Davenport, who plays Lloyd Simcoe; I'm a huge fan of the BBC sitcom Coupling, which starred Jack. He is much taller than I would have guessed, and very, very funny (not all people who play in comedies are actually witty without a script, but Jack really is). Today Jack had only 13 words of dialog -- which caused him to quip that at least for one day, he was the highest-paid-per-word actor in Hollywood. :)
It looks like Jack's role in the pilot (that they use to sell the show) is a very small role.
And I'm sure that his role in The Boat That Rocked is small too.
Is there something we can do to get him a starring role so that we actually get to see him for more than mere seconds. It's like AWE all over again.
NOT HAPPY about this. Especially since his character is the main character in the book. Now they created new characters for the show and made his role smaller. sulk.
