I Lose Points as an LFN Fan
::slaps forehead::
OMG! Why didn't I see it? So, this weekend I watched eps 2 & 3 of "Veronica Mars." Another MCS student taped them for me, since UPN isn't broadcast over the air around here. I was surprised to see Iceman from X2 in it (I know, I know, give me a sec here). Apart from being distracted by hearing it pronounced "Ice ... man" a la Val Kilmer, I shrugged and moved on. While investigating wisteria's Veronica Mars for Newbies site, I followed a link to the TWoP recaps. Couch Baron calls the actor "Icetwin", which was a surprise. After that, I assumed it was a different guy and kept reading the recaps.
Well, curiousity got the better of me and I finally went to IMDB. No mention of VM in Shawn Asmore's credits. Confirmed my "different guy" theory - until I checked out another VM site and saw that the character is played by Aaron Ashmore. D'oh! Couch Baron was telling the truth, not just giving a snarky nickname to a character! He really is Icetwin!
The most important thing is this: Aaron's other credits include a guest spot on ... La Femme Nikita. That's right! He's one of the newbies in "Time to Be Heroes." It's so obvious now that I think about it. ::shakes head:: I'll forgive myself for everything except not recognizing an actor from LFN.
That's pretty much the point of this post. The point being to waste time and not grade papers. In that respect, I think, it's succeeded admirably.
