the british are coming!

i was watching "kings" sunday night, the new NBC series with a biblically inspired story of the rise of King David. I only started about 5 minutes of it (3/4 of the way through) when i was again stung by the british invasion. at least three of the main characters of this show are brits or their cousins. I love the brits probably more than the next "yank" but it's wild!
i know no one cares but it's uncanny how many of today's most saught after tv's stars are british and aussie's.

check it.

kings: Ian Mcshane as "King Silas", "David" an aussi called
Christopher Egan ,
"jack" is romanian but british bred Sebastian Stan,
and "Samuel" is played by Eamonn Walker

er: (Neela), Parminder Kaur Nagra and
aussi David Lyons as "Dr. Simon Brenner"

life: Damian Lewis as Charlie Crews

chuck: Yvonne Strahovski as "Sara Walker"

the mentalist: Simon Baker as Patrick Jane and Owain Yeoman as Wayne Rigsby

dollhouse: main boss Adelle DeWitt as "Olivia Williams" and Aussie Dichen Lachman as "Sierra"

pushing daisies: Anna Louise Friel as "Charlotte"

house: Hugh Laurie as "House", and aussie Jesse Gordon Spence as "Dr. Robert Chase"

lost: too many.

Gossip Girl:
Ed Westwick as chuck


there are many more shows but i follow them less than the one i rarely surf through like lost and er.

i hope you have enjoyed yet another pointless entry.
