Trivia

two appearances on Highlander. He returns (as a different
character) in the fifth season story
E15, 'Duende'. His other credits include Kazon leader Culluh in
Star Trek: Voyager. His official Web site can be reached
here. |
| Bill Croft previously played Mancuso in the
first-season episode A6, 'Bad Day in
Building A'. He also had the distinction of playing four different
parts in four separate episodes of MacGyver, and had a cameo
role as a motorcycle cop in the 1996 Doctor Who movie. Check
out his full résumé

Verdict
An interesting premise let down by Bruno Wylie's thoroughly
unsympathetic character. Nice turn from Anthony de Longis, though.
