I love seeing people from old TV shows and movies on new TV shows as new characters that are totally ruined based on who the actor/actress used to be. Not to toot my own horn but I have an uncanny ability to catch people across shows; I call my power FMDB, I shit on IMDB and should be on Heroes if Ando gets to be on the show with his shitty power. I was just catching up on Numbers – sorry CBS, I meant Numb3rs (sweet! ) – and Marshall from Alias was playing a bit part as the bus driver of a tourist bus that gets hijacked. Seriously Marshall, I know the economy is tough for everyone but you’ve gone from super technical genius spy solving incredible technical problems in 20 minutes that haven’t been solved in real life for decades in order to keep Sydney and Vaughn alive to driving a fucking tourist bus? You’re better than that!
The worst part about this is that Marshall was really living the ultimate tech geek’s dream on Alias. He had an unlimited budget to buy anything he wanted. He had no oversight. He got to play spy every once in awhile. And he had a fucking hot wife who use to be an agent – and not only did he score this lady as his wife, he knocked her up and produced offspring who will probably crush 3d problem solving tests. And now he’s driving a bus. Awesome.
