Apr 1 2008The Bakster Joins Soderbergh's 'Informant'
Somehow, despite his turns at romancing Murphy Brown, piloting a starship, and inhabiting the bodies of strangers to right their past mistakes, Scott Bakula's star has never really risen above his hirsute brow. Maybe that will finally change with news the actor has been cast as a lead opposite Matt Damon in Steven Soderbergh's The Informant. Bak will play "Brian Shepherd, an FBI agent who exposes an international price-fixing scheme with the help of biochemist Mark Whitacre (Damon)." Ziggy shows a 95% chance he will continue being popular only among sci-fi nerds and lonely middle-aged women who haven't yet discovered Patrick Dempsey.

Did they get the casting messed up? I think I would believe bakula as a biochemist over damon.

Not lonely, happily married. Not exactly a sci fi nerd. Okay, middle aged. But what is the big deal about Patrick Dempsy. Sorry Bakula has it all. You only have to meet the man once. Probably the most genuine person I have ever met. Not counting my husband of course.
