Jack Davenport

[johnny&orlifan6422]

Add me to the list of people who've seen FlashForward and are now hooked on it . The draw for me was originally the fact that JackDav is playing one of the leads (and Joseph Fiennes, too, actually), but even though he was in the pilot episode for all of only, oh, two minutes, I was hooked from the get go. The drama that's going to ensue from watching certain characters try to prevent their futures from coming true (e.g. Joseph Fiennes' Agent Mark Benford) would be enough to keep me watching, even without the presence of Jack. The fact that he's in it, and probably won't go anywhere anytime soon (unless what I/we saw in another character's vision in last week's episode involves him) is an added bonus in an already great show .

Kitoky- Oh, you must catch up with it as soon as you can ! Not only is JackDav playing one of the leads, so is Joseph Fiennes (a.k.a. Ralph's little brother. He also played the lead in the film Shakespeare In Love), and Dominic Monaghan (Merry in the LOTR trilogy, and Charlie in LOST) was added in last week's episode as a lead actor.

I'd be more excited if it were Ralph Fiennes himself.

Hehe, you're like my mom (and me to a smaller extent as well, I guess ). She likes both of them, but prefers Ralph a bit more than Joseph.

They do have lovely accents, don't they ? It's actually kind of odd, now that I think about it, that they let Jack and Dominic keep their accents, but not Joseph. Something to do with their characters maybe? Perhaps Joseph has to use an American accent (which basically pans out to a total lack of one, being that the character lives on the West Coast of the U.S. ) because of who his character is, but Jack and Dominic don't because they're outsiders, and only come to L.A. because events in the storyline lead them there.

Hmmm..., kind of a hard question, as I don't want to spoil anything major for you, but I'll take a stab at it :]. He starts out kind of distant, as many people with big brains are (he's a physicist, I believe), as well as sort of mysterious (we don't find out a whole lot about him until later episodes). As the storyline goes on and he interacts more with his son, however, both those qualities kind of start to peel away, and we get to know him a lot better. It's really a great role for Jack, because the character allows him to do a lot of things we haven't seen before, among the biggest things being (1) portraying a father, and (2) being sort of a romantic leading man (I'm just speaking from my own familiarity with his roles here, because I'm sure there are characters he's played in things I haven't seen that fit the above description perfectly). There are also little moments that recall other roles he's played. For example, there's an interaction between his and Dominic Monaghan's characters toward the end of an episode where he takes a very "Norrington-y" tone. It's classic !
