Welcome to the board, Twiznoy.
He's the right age, has the right physique, his hair line is low on his forehead . . . .
Just make his hair brown, (looks black in the photo) and give him brown contact lenses.
Good choice, eh Jim?
Echoing Jim, Welcome Twiznoy.

I can see it too. His physique is consistent with being a track athlete, too. How about it, FPW?

He was pretty good in "Dark Skies" while that series lasted. (What a waste of an ending.) This series also had Jeri Ryan of ST:Voyager fame.

Hey all, first post here. BUt I just had to get into this discussion.
Someone in this string previously mentioned the new series "Touching Evil". I think the guy(sorry, don't know his name) who plays the main character would be an awesome Jack. The character on the show has some of the Jack attributes, he is kind of a smart aleck, he has that edge and seems to be about the right age.
Now I will search and see if I can find his name....
The characters name is Detective David Creegan and the actors name is Jeffrey Donavan. Here is a link to the show site but the photo doesn't do him justice. The best thing to do would be to check out the show and see him in action.

Did I mention Craig Bierko? I'm not sure, and I'm not checking four previous pages on a 56k connection of doom.
Craig Bierko.
He's too old, I'm sure, but I like him. He's probably also a bit too tall, but good casting negates that--look at Long Kiss Goodnight--the casting in that movie, of all tall stars, made him (and them) look normal.

On a random note -- if you like the USA version, you should really check out the original British show. The first season was a mind-blowing experience for me. It was one of the most powerful crime stories I've ever seen on television. The other seasons were good, but the first was amazing. They've redone those first stories in the USA version and they were much better than the American version of "Coupling" (which really wasn't too difficult), but I still wish people would stop trying to remake British shows.

Immitation is:
1) The sincerest form of flattery.
2) An embarrassing admission of your own lack of imagination.
3) All of the above.

Well, Matthew Smith. I agree with you in that I too wish that the entertainment industry would stop with all the remakes of stuff. Not just British television but everything. I swear if Hollywood thinks that there is cash to be made from remaking another bad 1970s TV show into a movie..they need to be whacked upside the head with a two ton heavy thing.
They just need to look at the bombs and money vacuums that were "Charlies Angels2" and "Starsky and Hutch"...and horror of horror I have heard they are making a "Fantasy Island" movie.....kill me now.
I really dig the series Touching Evil and for some reason thought it was originally a series somewhere else but not Britain...I will definately look into finding some of the british series to watch.
But back to the point of the message, what about the guy from the US version for the part of Jack?
