Greg, I have to disagree.  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.).
