I mean actor of course, otherwise we'd get Captain Subing from the Love Boat running the Andromeda..

If you can, pick one male, and one female actor/actress you'd love see either as the captain of the Andromeda Ascendant, or as a High Guard Captain..

for me...


Male:

James Morrison: Better known for playing Colonel Tyrus Cassius McQueen, commander of the 58th Squadron on the series Space: Above and Beyond He has a commanding screen prescence and always gives two thousand percent in any role he plays.


Female:

Nana Visitor: Colonel Kira Nerys on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for many of the same reasons as James above, she is a sweetie in RL but accustomed to tough female leads.

What are your picks?

Male: Edward Woodward, great commanding presence, and a powerful speaker as well.

Female: Alison Janney, tall, commanding and very witty.

I'm going to say "as replacement:"

Male: Rene Auberjonois. Talented, capable actor, previous experience in science-fiction, and absolutely no chance of "Odo in Space" being a problem. He could seriously carry this show.

Female: Lisa Ryder. Nuts to anyone else. If Dylan gets bumped off, Beka should advance to Captain of the Andromeda Ascendant. And she would *so* kick ass. Not in the "Herc in Space" sense either. (And I wouldn't mind seeing the Captain in bed so often. )

Hmmm...not sure about the female. But I'd agree with D' on James Morrison. Powerful actor, that one.

Michael Ironsides. His command presence is undeniable

Glen Close for my choice as a female captain.

Let's see now (and thinking just a bit different)....

Male: Jimmy Smits
Female: Gina Torres

Or do these actors have to be white? If so, trade Sorbo over to Mutant X for John Shea for a male lead. Famke Janssen would be my choice for a female lead.

I so agree with Michael Ironside and James Morrison. But since those names have already been given, my choices would be:
  • Male: David James Elliot
  • Female: Catherine Bell

Okay, so I have JAG on the brain... so what.

Ooo, Alison Janney, what a great suggestion! I love her. She certainly has the acting chops for it, though I'm not sure how she'd do with the action stuff.

In all honesty, I like Sorbo as Dylan Hunt. Well, I did 1st season, and for some of 2nd season. But if I could pick anyone...

Male: Peter Wingfield. Excellent actor, and good with the physical aspects, too.

Female: Yancy Butler

Well one of the fics I'm writing has quite a few High Guard ships mentioned in it, so I'll give you who I've based two of their Capn's on.

M) Michael Ironside, loved him in Starship Troopers, he really suits command.

F) Laura Bertram, Trance is just so manipulative in an unsuspected way, so she should get it.

For a laugh:

M) Jerry Springer, can you imagine Command, Jerry Jerry...

F) Lucy Lawless, oh oh, I feel another crosover coming on.

Well, this is tuff because we're used to who we have on Andromeda, but I agree with Nox on Lisa Ryder/Beka advancing to replace Dylan. (Except for the bed thing, that just isn't me)

Lisa's former co-star Geraint Wyn Davis would have made a good High Guard Captain.

Hurm, potential captain material.

Male: Lani John Tupu, only instead of doing a reprise of Bialar Crais, he gets to be the good guy.

Female: Lots of potential here. Catherine McClements (Det. Rachel Goldstein - Water Rats), Linda Cropper (Xhalax Sun - Farscape), or Toni Scanlan (Sgt. Helen Blakemore - Water Rats). Any of these would make a formidible captain.

I remember threads like this in the first and second seasons too, and my answers always the same.

I prefer Kevin Sorbo as Captain Dylan Hunt, the role is as tailor-made for him as Tyr is for Keith Hamilton Cobb. You might as well be asking if Cedric the Entertainer could play Tyr, instead.
