Outcasts (2010–2011)
Jamie Bamber
22 February 2011
Warning: Spoilers
"Give this man a movie !" as they say. Britain and America note: this is an under-used and not sufficiently valued actor.

Yes, add me to the list of disappointed BBC viewers who hoped and prayed for a great series (keep hoping) BUT I cannot pass up the opportunity to point out that even though they unfortunately bump him off in the first episode, pull-ease producers and directors look again and go through that first episode and tell me WHO can and does really really act and save the day? And who can draw in the audiences?

It's Jamie Bamber, who did his absolute best to make something gripping out of nothing.In his brief appearance he portrays the mixed emotions of a good guy/bad guy, loving hubby/wife-killer/ saviour of humanity/dirty traitor, and did it so well I was not sure which he was! Watch the facial expressions, body language, and those deep blue eyes go from hard to soft to crazy and back again.

As many reviewers here say leave SciFi to the Americans, (please note Bamber is half-American), it would seem that this man's talent would be better developed with American scripts in Hollywood. Then we would lose him ,as so many others have been lost to greater opportunity over the pond.

Smart, cool, good-looking, and a great actor. Someone give this guy a movie. Or at the very least, bring him back to life.
