I kind of remember James as Daniel (?) - the one with spectacles. He was always my favourite character -even back then when I didn't know the actor at all. :-)<br /><br />I wasn't aware of any of the over films you list thanks for that info - they will go onto my "to seek out" list at once. Good, bad or indifferent, sci-fi always intrigues me. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-87399799812322991252010-07-27T08:04:12.879-05:002010-07-27T08:04:12.879-05:00On the subject of heavenly bodies (!) and extra-te...On the subject of heavenly bodies (!) and extra-terrestial events, James Spader has starred in "Stargate" (I liked it apart from the fighting, but that was a big chunk), "Alien Hunter" (quite good), "Supernova" (I liked it, critics did not) and also the obscure TV pilot "Starcrossed" (interesting, although not great acting from him).Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946634138308342764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-36862414373624556122010-07-20T08:51:02.914-05:002010-07-20T08:51:02.914-05:00Vanilla Rose ~~ Oh goodness!

Thinking about Eddie Izzard, yes, I can see a similarity in the way he stands to that of Spader as Alan Shore - very erect, head slightly tipped back. I don't know whether that's Spader's natural stance though.<br /><br />Yes - Boston Legal is giving us endless pleasure, just started on season 3. And I got a used dvd of Stick Up yesterday too. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-81300680549107869282010-07-19T10:39:17.066-05:002010-07-19T10:39:17.066-05:00I believe that the play is still running, but with...I believe that the play is still running, but with a new cast.

I hadn't seen that one before.<br /><br />I'd read about "Race" - didn't know it had already finished its run though. Maybe they'll go on tour with it - something to keep an eye on!<br /><br />I hope he does share Shore's (and Kelley's) views - I'd be quite surprised if he didn't - although I doubt William Shatner shares Denny Crane's political leanings. ;-)<br /><br />hmmm - Blueprint for Accountability eh? I'll look into that too.<br /><br />Thanks again, VR!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-75844377815382739412010-07-19T04:38:33.498-05:002010-07-19T04:38:33.498-05:00I found my way to this blog via the James Spader M...I found my way to this blog via the <a href="http://www.brigitte.proboards.com" rel="nofollow">James Spader Meeting Place</a>. Spader has just finished being in the play "Race". During its run, he met many of his fans and they have all posted about how he was very obliging about posing for photographs and signing autographs. Yet at the same time, he is relatively mysterious. You know how most celebrities announce the birth of their children and we all laugh at the weird names chosen? Spader's youngest child is nearly 2, and nobody on the fan sites even knows the boy's name! It was months before it was even confirmed it was a boy.<br /><br />I think it is safe to say that he shares at least some of Alan Shore's views, as he was involved with an event called "Blueprint for Accountability" last month.Vanilla Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946634138308342764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-69071245073491259992010-07-16T08:51:32.130-05:002010-07-16T08:51:32.130-05:00Vanilla Rose ~~~ Ah!
