Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?

On Saturday night, I got caught up in an episode of “Cold Squad” (which was quite good, by the way). The only problem was that there were two actors who I knew I’d seen elsewhere recently, and it was bugging me that I couldn’t figure out where I’d seen them.

The first was a blond, bland-looking detective, and it only took a few minutes to remember that I’d seen Sonja Bennett on “Godiva’s” recently. (Can anyone tell me if it’s coming back? Except for Bennett’s character, I enjoyed the show.)

The second actor was much harder, and I didn’t remember until this afternoon. He was an officer, mostly a secondary character with a few lines, and no one said his character’s name, so it was going to be difficult to figure out who he was. While watching “Farscape” this afternoon, it hit me – it was the actor who’d played Helo on “Battlestar Galactica,” Tahmoh Penikett.

Whew. It would have bugged me a lot until I had figured it out.

    Ian watched Cold Squad with me the other night (I actually had time to watch TV!!) and he kept saying, “He was on Stargate…she was on Stargate…hey, wasn’t he so and so on Stargate.

    See, I haven’t seen Stargate much. I watched it one week, but that’s about the limit of my exposure. Since they’re both filmed in Vancouver though, it makes sense.

    Ask Ian if he’s excited about Ben Browder and Claudia Black being on Stargate next season!

    You don’t happen to have any eps with Tahmoh in them on tape, do you?

    I’m so jealous you get to see the show. :)

    Sorry – I didn’t tape any of the episodes, and they don’t seem to be rerunning the first season on Space, which I expected (hoped) they would do.
