Rating:  5/5
Redshirt Status: 0/0/21.5

Notable Guest Stars:

Mark L. Taylor – Haritath He recently was on How I Met Your Mother as Vince Levin.
Eileen Seeley –
Ard’rian McKenzie. According to IMDB Seely hasn’t had a credited role since 2000 so I’m not sure what she is up to at the moment. She seemed to be a guest star on many tv series.
Richard Allen –
Kentor He has had various guest roles on big TV series, but he also had a reoccurring role on a Jumanji TV series. Which I hadn’t known existed till today and now I must watch. Thanks, Mr. Allen.
Grainger Hines –
Gosheven*. Hines has been on many shows I’ve seen in the past, but like Allen has brought me to a show I never existed…a tv series based on the 1950s film Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I loved that movie growing up (ignoring the sexism and questionable consent of the brides) but I’m not entirely sure how one could turn it into a tv series. Add that to the list.
