Something I've always wondered . . .

Poll time!

As a fandom, we agree that "Connor James" is a thinly veiled reference to Keanu Reeves.

Right?

No idea on this earth... but you know, I live under a rock.

Wasn't Keanu Reeves in The Matrix? If so, that's all I know about him. If not, I wouldn't know him from my next door neighbor.

Yes, he was the guy from The Matrix. He's one of the big rumored-to-be-gay movie stars.

I didn't know that... see previous comment about "rock." I remember them talking about Tom Cruise in S4... and a few other actors I'd never heard of, LOL. I wasn't sure if they were all real or not...

[mi_nion]

yeah I thought about TC as well. But Hollywood has enough closeted guys that you could pretty much take your pick.

[sarahj2222]

He is your next door neighbor.

[cabtastic]

What?

[sarahj2222]

Just kidding...

[cabtastic]

It's true! I realized it at the time, but have never seen anyone in the fandom mention it.

That never crossed my mind, and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone suggest it. But hey, whatever does it for you. ;)

It jumped out at me at the time . . . when Brian says, "It sounds like you've had a most excellent adventure." Since Keanu Revees's first big role was in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. That made me think about it, and I decided that's almost certainly what the writers meant. I do love a good mystery. ;)

In 2004, coming just off the Matrix trilogy, I think he would count. At least as much as the other real actors' names they were suggesting to star in Rage: http://www.qaf-fic.com/qafscreengrabs/qaf4b/pages/qaf4-14-016.html
