The various actors in V are not exactly newcomers. Marc Singer has made several movies, including "If You Could See What I Hear" and I think "Dragonslayer". Jane Badler was a regular on several soap operas (she once played Dorian Lord's psychotic sister on "One Life to Live"). Michael Durrell has been a regular "Guest Star" on several series in the past few years. And of course in the second V mini-series, Sarah Douglas of "Falcon Crest" was a star. I also get the feeling that I've seen the actress now playing Elizabeth on a soap, but I can't remember which one. Generally, it seems that once an actor becomes a familiar face to viewers, they don't have many problems finding new roles (hmmmmm, Suzanne Sommers? Who's she?). That's not saying that they will be successful. Just that they have a better chance than the guy on the street (witness the Tony Danza fiasco on Tuesday nights. Better yet, watch the "A Team" or "Tuesday Night Titans" instead. Less brutal.). Diane Wilkerson "Just the facts Ma'am" ..!hopd3!dvw
