<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: 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>
