Very true, and I've seen him in lots of good things (he was a great 
Scrooge), but I keep expecting him to do the "Picard maneuver" (that 
yanking down on his uniform thing).  Moral:  never accept a role in 
Star Trek, or all your other roles will disappear into the mist no 
matter how good an actor you are.

Now you know why this is on OT-chatter:  so people like me can more 
easily add silly comments like this.

How about Stewart for Moody when the time comes?
