After
months of speculation, Scott Bakula has finally decided to sign on
for Paramount's new Star Trek series.
The on-again-off-again deal saw the actor agreeing to star in a sitcom
for CBS, but he'll now leave that show for the drama. Bakula will
play Captain Jonathan Archer in the prequel. According to the studio
this captain will be more in the vein of Shatner's swashbuckling Kirk,
than the more dour Picard and Janeway.
Bakula is returning to series television following a lengthy abscence.
He's best known for Quantum Leap, though he also had a recurring
role in Murphy Brown. Several efforts to move into motion pictures
have proved less than impressive, though he was in American Beauty.
Let's hope the new series lightens up a bit. Star Trek takes
itself entirely too seriously, if you ask us. |

68 - Roman
Emperor, Nero commits suicide at the age of 31. Initially
a popular ruler, it didn't take him long to mess things up.
Killing his mother didn't do much for his rep, either.
