I'm sorry I forgot to mention these sooner. :x

For you Tigatron fans out there, Blu Mankuma has a fairly big part on the new Sci Fi channel miniseries Tin Man. I was hoping I'd see a familiar name in the opening credits, and he was it! Part 3 of 3 is airing tonight at 9pm (EST). If you've missed any parts, I'm sure Sci Fi will be airing reruns (and they might be on the website). Each part runs on TV for two hours. Blu doesn't come in until part 2, but he plays a pretty cool character; a shape-shifter.

I've finally found out that I can watch old episodes of the Canadian crime-drama Cold Squad. It's basically a Canadian version of the States' Cold Case. Garry Chalk (Optimus Primal) is in tons of episodes. I've also caught Campbell Lane (Rampage) in one episode and Jim Byrnes (Inferno) in another.

Also, just as Garry had mentioned before, he was in an episode of the new Sci Fi original series Flash Gordon a couple weeks ago, the pilot episode of Haunted (as a bad guy *gasp* and not a cop, with a hand-to-hand combat scene at the end), and has said to be in the movie Battle in Seattle which is supposedly due out in the States in spring '08. And with the holidays around the corner, he can be seen in the Lifetime TV movie Christmas on Chestnut Street and in Deck the Halls which was just released on DVD.

Phew. I think that's it. :shock:

:lol: It certainly was a different role. The fighting scene was cool, and then at the end of it he was crying and it was sad. XD But he was bad! And bad guys never win. :wink: I don't know what happened to that show, Haunted. I saw the pilot episode and then that was it. I thought it was really interesting too. Darn it.

I don't know, I've never actually watched Cold Case yet. XD But I'm sure if you like Cold Case, you'd probably like Cold Squad. I like some of the characters in it, but these cliff hangers drive me crazy because I have to wait a whole week every time before I can see the conclusion! :x :roll: And I always have to tape the episodes because it comes at 2:05am Saturday. Yeesh!

Thanks, Jag. And you should if you're able to!

By the way, Blu was awesome in Tin Man. XD
