Did playing Blair hamper Garett Maggart's career? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Gee · 7th March 2001, 03:10 PM

I loved Garett Maggart as Blair Sandburg in The Sentinel and would love to see him in something new, but I wondered if being identified so thoroughly with the Blair Sandburg role has turned out to be detrimental to his acting career.

It is my understanding - and I am open to correction here - that he has not worked since the series finished in 1999. Is this true and if so is Blair Sandburg to blame?

I would love to know what other people think. Please note I am genuinely interested and not trying to provoke controversy. I want GM back on our screens, or stage or somewhere we can see him act!

Actually I don't think playing Blair has hurt GM career any more than any other actor who works in series TV.

I can't recall the name of the movie or if it's been released yet, but he is working. He and what's her name, the lady they brought in from Australia on the show (the one he's also dating and was supposed to be marrying) and Simon are all starring in a movie. If I can find out more about it, I'll post it.

Cheers,
