Even Jeri Ryan is coming to a con this year.

No Televison work + recession = lots of cons.

Since I have no crystal ball, I don’t know who among the BSG cast will have great careers but I’m really rooting for Aaron Douglas, Tahmoh, Tricia, Jamie Bamber and Katee.

I think the cast of Stargate Atlantis would be far more likely subjected to what you are talking about than the cast of Galactica who seem to be in a good position to land higher profile jobs in the industry and find success post-BSG. Either in the States or in the UK. If anything I can see some of them getting rehired onto shows filming in Vancouver and pop in and out of other shows like Mitch Pileggi seems to do (SGA, Supernatural). Heck. McQueen from Space Above and Beyond has been a regular on 24. Anything is possible. You’ll probably be remembered for that particular role people fell in love with you in but these days there are enough genera shows out there you can still find legit work and not just the endless Con tour.

Dear TVaddict,

I won’t even go into referring to actors who, unfortunately, didn’t manage to move beyond their early TV or film success as “has beens”, but in your original post you asked who among the BSG cast would have a career and who will end up doing cons? Out of a very large cast of actors you only singled out Mary and Eddie as definitely having careers, when so many of the cast have moved on to new projects, some very high profile. So, in reference to your question, the answer is many, if not all of them, will have both – careers and con appearances in their futures.

What have you got against Aaron Douglas doing conventions? Battlestar Galactica is still airing. In 2 years time if he’s still doing cons and signing BSG headshots, by all means you can take issue with it and I’d probably agree with you. But right now, I don’t see a problem with it.

Robert Picardo was the only thing worth noting about Voyager. Otherwise the show managed to deviate from its moderately interesting premise (isolation and survival similar to BSG or Lost) about two episodes in and never recovered. And they also made the Borg stupid(er). So, fail.

Dear Asta77,

There is a huge difference between the actors you mentioned above headlining a convention and what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the has-beens who were a semi-regular on LOST IN SPACE forty years ago. Not Nathan Fillion.
