Was that James Marsters by any chance? There is a date up now (1962),
but I remember the huge uproar over in the Angel/Buffy groups when
someone found his official California birth record and it very much
contradicted the age he claimed to be. Ridiculous numbers of people
(i.e. crazed fanboys and fangirls) wouldn't accept he might have fibbed
about his age since that is *so* rare among actors. Considering he also
had a teenage son at the time, the lower age never made any sense
anyway. Good times.

I don't believe this group ever indulged in couple names. Dullard was
definitely Ballard and vice versa.

I was going to ask if maybe you were mistaking Kevin McKidd for Reed
Diamond because they look so much alike, but a quick glance at Imdb says
they are both in the series, presumably playing relatives of some sort
because they have the same last name (since the premise is time travel
they could well be father and son for all I know). So, good casting!
