Now, I'm Excited about the US "Life on Mars"

I really, really, REALLY like both actors cast as the leads.

Jason O'Mara is playing Sam. I know him from In Justice a short-lived ABC show where he co-starred with Kyle MacLachlan. He's gorgeous, charming, charismatic and can act. Yay. And the female lead (Annie) is played by Rachelle LeFevre, who I first saw as Marjorie on the 2nd episode of Veronica Mars, season 3 ("My Big Fat Greek Rush Week"). I really, really liked her in that role. Then I saw her in a multi-episode arc on The Class and I liked her there too, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the both of them. Good, likable casting, in my opinion (based on the three eps of the British LoM I saw, I think they fit the characters as well).

I keep forgetting this Annie was on VM -- I got to see her in a guest role in HIMYM (as the Rockette that Barney took to the back of his moving truck, when he stole all of Ted's stuff to stop him from moving in with Robin ;) and I thought she was good there. :)

What kind of character did she play on "The Class?" :)

Ooh, that's right, she was on that too. She played the girl that was meeting blind-date guy, but Kat stole her blind-date, so Ethan stuck around to tell her and wound up pretending to be blind-date guy because she was so hot. They were really good together (although I did love Ethan/Kat), but when she found out he lied, she (naturally) dumped him.

Rachelle Lefevre is one of my most recent girl!crushes. I saw her in the film The River King. She was really good in that role.

I haven't seen that, but everything else I have seen, she's really grabbed my attention. I like her a lot. I actually fought with mods to get her a Drama Club highlight in our breakdowns, but was outvoted. Ah well. I think she rocks.
