He's probably afraid of the inevitable typecasting that results form being on a popular SF series.

Also, the fact that it took a great deal of makeup to make you look like a dork warms the ol' cockles.

^Well, he may be a geek, at least he doesn't look like one.

Hmm.. someone I've met who was famous. Oh! I know. When I was in Disney world I met Cinderella. BEAT THAT.

Actualy, in all honesty i've only met localy famous people. Like the Dancing Cop of Rhode Island. We were hunting Christmas trees and he was on the hay ride with us.

People who are going to be insulted for having a scifi role thrown into their faces shouldn't accept the role in the first place. If I accepted a TV role (very unlikely), I'd assume that it was a role I wouldn't be offended for being identified with. It's that simple.

I can imagine it may annoy you after a couple of years.

And this is somehow unique to scifi actors?

Well, the level of obsessive fanboyish is much higher in SF than it is in mainstream fandoms. People may change their hairstyle every week depending on how Jennifer Aniston was wearing it, but they don't go and hang out with other sitcom fans in convention centres and engage in the million and one endearing behaviours that set geeks so firmly apart from normal people.
