Lt.Overload
Rear Admiral
I never noticed how many actors from the Wing Commander movie have played roles in the BBC Sci-Fi show Doctor Who.
It started when I was watching the recent season finale; Ken Bones, the admiral from Pegasus Base at the beginning of WC, is The General, wearing some familiar-looking armor. He also appeared in the 2013 special "The Day of the Doctor" but, somehow, I totally didn't realize it was the same person. Don't expect to see him in future episodes, because he was killed off (and subsequently regenerated into a new person). I decided to look back and see who else I missed.
Criag Kelly, who played Falk in the movie, voices a character named Joe in the 2003 flash-animated Doctor Who story, Scream of the Shalka.
Obutu, played by Hugh Quarshie, who you may also know as General Panaka in Star Wars Episode I, played Solomon, the leader of a Hooverville, in the 2007 two parter Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks.
And finally Admiral Tolwyn, David Warner, played Professor Grisenko in the 2013 story Cold War.
I knew there was a reason I liked this show.
