My Thoughts:
Scott Bakula is one of those kinds of actors that you just cannot stop watching. He hooked me the
very first time I started watching Quantum Leap. He and Dean Stockwell were such a perfect
match in that show as Sam and Al that I shudder to think what the show would be like if they had
chosen someone else to play the roles. Quantum Leap was, of course, my first introduction
to Scott Bakula and I continue to be a fan of his to this very day. Even though I can honestly say
I haven't seen every single one of his movies, I can say the one that I have seen (Necessary
Roughness, Sibling Rivalry, In The Shadow Of A Killer, The Invaders) continue to show his fantastic ability
to act in almost any role.
Yet, I continue to look forward to the day that the creators of Quantum Leap will regain their
senses and bring the cast back together for one last show. That last episode still jars me!!
