Lexa Doig, Not Her Avatar Coming To Starfest

It is a bit confusing, trying to explain the characters that Lexa Doig portrays on Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. One is Rommie, the physical manifestation of the computer that controls, er is, named Andromeda Ascendant, a ship that flies about the galaxy fighting evil. Her other character is the actual hologram projection of the ship's sophisticated artificial intelligence system. Basically, one does most of the work of flying the ship and the other gets to run around kicking bad-boy butt. Click here to read more...

"Womens is frickle," says Popeye, and he is right. But the one-eyed sailor doesn't generalize enough.  Women are also intelligent, kind, loving, loyal, industrious, nurturing, and social--very, very social. -Michael Vance

The 8th Wonder was collected in 1997.  To date, it is one of the most unusual stories I've ever read.  Unusual is good, in a medium that continues to need fresh material to balance out a steady...and stale...diet of super heroes. - Mark Allen

Dominic Keating
Enterprise's Chief of Security locked-down for Starfest
Portraying Malcolm Reed on Enterprise seems a stretch for a guy with a history degree. Here’s how it happens: Start acting in college and appear in several stage performances. With a little encouragement you’ll get bitten by the acting bug. Pack your truck for Beverly, hills that is, and land film roles in Jungle 2 Jungle, Almost Famous, and What I Did for Love. Then play a guy named Steve in The Hollywood Sign opposite Rod Steiger, Burt Reynolds and Tom Berenger. That might be simplifying a bit, but that’s basically what Dominic did on his way to his role on the latest Star Trek series.

His TV credits include Enterprise, Glory Days, Desmond’s, The Immortals, G vs E, Special Unit 2, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Poltergeist: The Legacy.

We will continue to announce guests and incredible programming in the days ahead. For more Starfest 2004 details, click here.
