SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND NEWS

General
The April issue of Starlog (#249) has a good three-page story on Glen Morgan and Jim Wong, written by Marc Shapiro. It focuses mostly on Space but also on The X-Files. There's color photos of the Wild Cards and McQueen, as well as quotes from Morgan and Wong. The article is quoted as saying:

"Space", however, isn't completely, utterly, totally dead. The show is now airing in reruns on the Sci-Fi Channel and in overseas markets. And the release of "Starship Troopers" -- its literary source a precursor to "Space: Above and Beyond" -- might, along with the current aggressive fan-led campaign, spawn a "Space" revival.

Cast and Crew

There are six short plays in the evening. I'm in the second, entitled Little Bites. It is directed by Josh Hamilton and I am co-starring with Dina Spyby (most recently of Men Behaving Badly)."
