Fantastic Femmes--Michelle Rodriguez

"Mercurial" doesn't begin to describe this talented, though sometimes undisciplined actress.
Known to the public as much for her off-camera escapades as for her acting, she tends to dominate the screen, even in secondary roles (IMHO).

Genre appearances include...
Tropico de Sangre (Minerva Mirabal)
Avatar (Trudy Chacon)
LOST (Ana-Lucia Cortez)
A Cat's Tale (Jujube)
The Breed (Nikki)
BloodRayne (Katarin)
Resident Evil (Rain Ocampo)
The Fast and the Furious / Fast & Furious [FandF 4] (Letty Marciano)
True Crime: Streets of LA [Video Game] (Rosie Velasco)
Halo 2 [Video Game] (Marine)

Last night, just as we were about to keyboard Kandyse into our Fantastic Femmes section of the blog, her character, Anastasia Dualla, committed suicide in BSG's final season opener, "Sometimes a Great Notion".
(We hope Dee reappears, at least in flashbacks, in some of the remaining eps.)
She's been an appealing presence on the show from her relatively minor role in the mini-series to her character's increasing importance in the plotline, and her gut-wrenching departure is a scary reminder that almost no character is safe...

Patrick McGoohan--the Prisoner has escaped...

This entry's title is not meant to be snarky.
Since the theme of The Prisoner was that we (and society) are our own jailers ("Who is Number One?" "You are, Number Six!"), with his passing, McGoohan is finally "free", in a way none of us can can ever be truly free in life!
A noted actor and raconteur, McGoohan's greatest success was in three heroic tv series roles:
The Scarecrow in The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh aka Dr. Syn: alias The Scarecrow
John Drake in Danger Man aka Secret Agent
Number Six in The Prisoner (which he conceived and co-created, as well as writing & directing a number of episodes.)
Consider that without his artistic influence, we wouldn't have shows like ABC's LOST, AMC's The Prisoner remake series, or, to a lesser extent, any of the shows like The X-Files or Fringe where you aren't certain who is who and who's running things...
(Personally, I always thought "The Village" was on the other side of the island's mountains on LOST!)
