<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: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Let me explain it another way: Unknown = never been in a hollywood movie before.</div>

That goes without saying, the end product decides all, but all I can do is speculate, so I will.

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>The point with finding an unknown is that I think you're more likely to find a better fit for an established character like that among the masses of people who no one knows about than you are by trying to fit an established actor into that character.</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>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>But see, Joxer was on the show for many many years. The "kid" thing was only a bit at the end (and she, once in the future, was hot by the way).</div>
