Hmmm. I don't know. It's certainly a possibility; he did it during
WWII. Personally, though, I think DM sees himself as a citizen of
the world, rather than of any country at all (even Scotland); and my
gut feeling is that he wouldn't involve himself in bringing down any
terrorist organization unless he perceived the potential threat that
the organization would achieve world dominance. I just don't think
he'd meddle in the affairs of mortals to that extent unless it was an
imminent danger.
On the other hand, if someone he cared about was a victim of
terrorism, he might very well take a personal interest in the
specific terrorists involved. :-)
In any case, I don't think he'd spend too much time lying fallow.
He's much too proactive to lounge around Bora Bora for very long, no
matter how lovely it is this time of year.
MHO. :-)

Yup! My first thought, in fact!
I did see the Peter Wingfield episode of Just Cause zK mentions when it
aired several weeks ago. I liked him better as a bad goa'uld in Stargate,
though.

"Disastrous" is your opinion, I happen to like a lot of Raven. It wasn't
perfect, but then again neither was season 1 of HL:TS.
To answer your question, yes. She was in an episode of "Charmed," an episode
of "Queen of Swords" and an episode of the Lifetime original series "Strong
Medicine". I think she also did some kind of action film. You might check
the IMDB or her web site at http://elizabethgracen.org for information.
> (2) Are DPP doing HL Season Two in DVD?
According to what I've heard, yes.

I know she was in an episode of Charmed.

Let me guess..Adrian plays an recently resurrected - good at heart but obviously not the kind of thing one wants around the house full time - mummy and stubbles around with his arms held out in front of him. Paige will fall in love with him before she realized why he stubbles around the house with his arms held out in front of him. He gets vanquished by the girls who know that mummies make bad boyfriends.
OK .... OK .. . any job is better than no job at all when you're an actor.

I think that after a heart-to-heart with Amanda, he kidnapped
Nick and took him to the Island, where he clobbered him every day
until that boy stopped moping and learned to use a sword.

Swooons....oh yeah. I was just wondering why he hasn't shown up on The WB
yet. I'm still holding out for Bond....why? cuz I wanna be a Bond girl
dammit!! Anyone else on this boat with me?
(shameless plug) And not to get too far off topic, but for you Angel fans
out there (hey..there are similarities to Angel and Duncan, so I COULD make
it kinda topical)....I'm a featured extra on next Sunday's episode

Has he gotten screwed by TPTB at some point, or is he just a popular
enough actor that he can afford to do less cheesy stuff? :)

The list used to be crazy busy during the heyday of the show (ok, no more
reminiscing, I'm starting to feel old). Endgame actually made me less of a
HL fan - I don't like to reward bad storytelling.
Speaking of which, I just got the HL Store catalog that several of you had
mentioned recently. And now that I'm done retching, a few comments:
- Are they so hard up as to not be able to hire a copyeditor? Egregious
errors abound.
- What is up with the cover design of the season 1 dvds? They look
cheap and uninspired. Someone was way too excited about what they could do
w/ Photoshop.
- I agree with the previously-posted "The Source" comments. The summary
they give (which will, of course, bear no resemblance to the finished
story) is uninteresting and bland. Immortals live their lives with all
kinds of mystical stuff going on - why would they give anything to find
out their origins? And selling Source merchandise before even starting
shooting is just creepy...
Enough whinging from me - Happy Halloween (a bit early) to all.

Sort of like his revived corpse at the end of his stint on Dark Shadows.
But less decayed, I hope.
AP guesting on Charmed.... It's an OK show for what it is, but w/ AP's
presence & magnetism, he's gonna make the regular actors look, well, like
the lightweights they are.
> Wendy(HL-5?)(Why do P/D hate us so much?)
Probably because we enable them, & there's nothing more despicable to the
enabled than those who do that. We need HL-ANON.
On the other hand, if we all buy DPP's lame Source merchandise NOW, maybe
they'll relent & not actually make the film.

Well, _of course_ it's her opinion. That's why it came from _her_ keyboard.
Raven was disastrous in my opinion, too. And in the opinion of those who
decided against a 2nd season for it.
You can count the true successes of DPP in the HL arena on one ...
finger--HL:TS. Just a fluke, I guess.

>From what I know, I wouldn't characterize it as "getting screwed." There
were personal issues that arose on the first film, enough to make me doubt
that he'd have anything to do with Highlander again absent a really big
paycheck. I also wouldn't call him a "popular" actor they way Tom Hanks or
Mel Gibson is a popular actor. Like a lucky handful in Hollywood, he's
known within the industry and he works fairly often, but he's not a big name
who can command a huge salary or make projects happen just because his name
is attached to them.

1986, the original Highlander movie, producers Peter Davis & William Panzer
You don't count the movie which launched the franchise as a success?
