Again, speaking of Numb3rs, the show that will feature a comic book convention during an episode in November … you have to wonder if one of the show’s stars had a hand in that episode’s subject matter:
The picture above is from the Left on Mission launch party at Meltdown Comics earlier this year. Peter MacNicol, who you may know from Numb3rs, 24 and Ally McBeal, poses with the book’s writer, Chip Mosher. MacNicol, BTW, is also voicing Doctor Octopus in the upcoming Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, adding another villain to his resume … he’s also voiced Chronos on Justice League Unlimited, Dr. Kirk Langstrom on The Batman and X the Eliminator on Harvey Birdman.

And to crank up the nerd factor of this episode even higher, Wil Wheaton appears to be guest starring in it. (http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2007/10/and-now-for-som.html)

Yeah, that’s the kind of geek cred that the show doesn’t need. Watching Wil Wheaton is like watching any reality TV for me – embarrassing.

MacNicol’s geek cred actually goes way back before that… he played the hero in the fantasy movie [i]Dragonslayer[/i], if you can imagine that.

“He is Vigo! You are like the buzzing of flies to him!”
When you’ve contributed that to the world of film you don’t have to worry about greek credit.

…Or geek cred for that matter.
