Fun with Actor Re-Use Stories
Ok, we’ve all done the actor reuse thing before, this actor played this guy and that guy….. Now let’s try something new. Fun with actor re-use stories.
I’ll start
….Major John Shepherd , Col Marshall Sumner, Lt. Ford and crew step thru Pegasus gate for the first time and emerge on a planet that they will soon come to know as Athos.
It’s a dark night. A deep blue blanket of light coming from a 18K HMI Fresnel…. Uh, I mean the moon covers the country side.
The team covers the terrain cautiously, all is quiet until. Suddenly a group of children run out of the tree line wearing Wraith masks startling the team. Quickly reacting Sumner and his men draw their weapons.
But before anyone gets hurt a large Wraith named Todd jumps in front of the children putting his hands up in the air.
Todd the Wraith (Weird voice) Please, they were just playing!
Col. Sumner: Hold your fire!
Todd the Wraith: Jento, how many times have I told you not to play in the woods after dark?
Jento: Sorry father.
Todd turns to Major Shepherd and as he speaks he makes a gesture moving his hand in an arc from his mouth to his chest.
Todd the Wraith: Todd.
Major Shepherd: I don’t know what that means.
Col. Sumner: It’s his name you idiot! (Turns to Todd) I’m Special Agent John Dogget of the FBI. (Holds up a photo of Bobby Budnick from "Salute Your Shorts") Have you seen this boy?
Elsewhere… underneath the village the computer that controls the link updates everyone’s link after shrinking the size of the shield that protects the village from the planet’s harsh natural atmosphere. Suddenly the link on Todd the Wraith’s head begins to blink. He walks away from Jento and Sumner’s team and gets on a motorcycle, starts it up and rides away.
Col. Sumner: Say, that’s a nice bike!
Todd rides his motorcycle out of the fake holographic surroundings and through the village shield into the harsh outside atmosphere and commits suicide so that the computer can decrease the size of the shield to compensate for it’s draining power supply.
Now it’s your turn. Have fun!
