  • This guy plays Spiderman? Isn't he that guy Joxer off of Xena?

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: 14pt Plakatbau; text-align: left; '>Ted Raimi. Brother of Sam Raimi, co-creator of Xena and every damn Evil Dead feature. Why Bruce Campbell appeared in Xena/Hercules often, good friends.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>It's Ted Raimi, but he's playing some reporter, not Spiderman.</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>At least he looks dorky enough to play Peter Parker. :)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>He's a little too wide-eyed for me. I think they would have been better off finding an unknown.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>I think to most moviegoers he is pretty unknown... I've only seen him in Wonder Boys.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>He was the main character in The Cider House Rules, which was nominated for best picture. That's not an unknown to me.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial; text-align: left; '>I think the important thing is how well he plays the role, not how many other films he's done. If he was right for the role, then he should have it. I give Sam Raimi credit here.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>As I recall, it wasn't a huge splash at the box office. And I wasn't talking about you, I know you know who he is.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Let me explain it another way: Unknown = never been in a hollywood movie before.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>The point with finding an unknown is that I think you're more likely to find a better fit for an established character like that among the masses of people who no one knows about than you are by trying to fit an established actor into that character.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>That just ruined the movie for me.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>I loved him in Quantum Leap.. I don't care what he's playing.. as long as he's on a show :) He shouldn't do bad, might even be pretty good</div>

 #46359  by Judgment 1999
 
<div style='font: 14pt Tahoma; text-align: left; '>Exactly. Since he's already done at least one sci-fi show, he should kick ass in Enterprise. I need a reason to watch more than 30 minutes of TV a week. :P</div>

 #46448  by Crono
 
<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>But see, Joxer was on the show for many many years. The "kid" thing was only a bit at the end (and she, once in the future, was hot by the way).</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Yah, I've still got that theme song stuck in my head, too. Proves that the cheesiest things can sometimes stick on ya the most.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>He was a whiny little shit in his last series (and it was hardly sci-fi). What makes you think he'd make a good captain?</div>
