redfiona99Fileg was talking about a show called Navy CIS or NCIS or whatever it's actual title is. I like crime shows so I might have watched it anyway but she dangled the fact that it has David McCallum in it so I couldn't resist.
So I watched and ended up hooked. Good science, interesting, imperfect characters, it's a krimi, really it's like they designed a programme just for me.
But anyway, I was watching episode 1:23 "Revaille" and I recognised the bad guy but I just couldn't place him. Accent sounded familiar.
Anyway, I looked it up on IMDB, who's servers I kiss as usual, and it's the guy that played Dracula on Buffy. I'm amazed I've actually seen his face now (the only other time I did was when he appear on an Enterprise ep as a scrunchy forehead alien) and it looks different. And the Buffy make-up artists did some seriously good work because he's as dark as I am, if not darker, and they made him look pasty white.
In short:
David McCallum squee
NCIS squee
Obscure actor squee
