Jamie Bamber to Star in the BBC's 'Outcasts'
EEEEEEEEE!!! I AM SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW PEOPLE!
Jamie Bamber will be staring in the BBC's major new eight-part SF drama'Outcasts'. Jamie will be playing "Mitchell Hoban, Head of the Expeditionaries – progressive and ambitious." The show also stars a lot of other cool people and I realized this project sounded familiar when I saw Eric Mabius's name. He was cast a couple weeks back.
The series is currently filming in South Africa, which is probably why Jamie has been flying under my radar recently. No word on a US network carrying the show, but I'm guessing BBC America will pick it up.
Have I mentioned I AM VERY EXCITED! :D

Amused that Mabius is in this too, I always thought he looked like the third Adama brother. *g*
And could that synopsis sound any more like a tag to BSG? ;P Maybe the Outcasts were just on the other side of the planet from the Colonials (heck, maybe they snagged all that technology instead of letting it fly into the sun! Lee was actually Mitchell the sleeper agent!)
(don't mind me, I'm just excited for more Bamber!!)
THIS. Yes. Exactly. To a distracting degree for me.
This is awesome. *dances*
Thank you asta! Whooo, South Africa. I bet Jamie loves that. ;-)
I hadn't heard about this show until tonight, but it sounds awesome! And with Jamie in it? I'm there!
I hope Jamie and Eric's characters are somehow related because I was all but unable to watch Ugly Betty because Eric reminded me of Jamie so much. I was like "COME ON. YOU ARE A CHEAP AMERICAN JAMIE CLONE." Maybe I'm the only one who sees it.
And I, too, am amused since the Bamber/Mabius resemblance has been a topic of discussion for quite some time! Now we'll get a nice side-by-side comparison
with their shirts offI shall have to keep an eye out for any promo material here I can send you for it.
And I'll need something to read on the flight to D*C, yes?
Since 'Outcasts' is being broadcast on BBC America I'm hopeful will have some press on this side of the Atlantic as well. Jamie and Eric Mabius would be two of the most recognizable names here.
Thanks for the heads up!
Nice to see you back on LJ! :D
