Spader Shines in Boston Legal!

by

Spader01.jpgJames Spader, who played the original Dr. Daniel Jackson in the 1994 movie Stargate, currently stars in the acclaimed television series Boston Legal.

Spader plays Alan Shore, an ethically challenged attorney who lights up the television screen with his snide, self-centered egotism. It’s a role that Spader originated in The Practice. It’s also a role that couldn’t be farther away artistically from the gentle, earnest and self-sacrificing character of Dr. Daniel Jackson. But then, Spader usually plays the unpleasant fellows. It is his portrayal of Jackson that was outside his usual forum.

Boston Legal seems to make a habit of collecting scifi greats for its cast. Spader co-stars with William Shatner who made science fiction a household name with his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk in Gene Roddenberry’s original Star Trek. Rene Auberjonois, who played Odo on Star Trek: DS9 also graces the show with his witty repartee.
