Talented Actors With Actual Lives

Parker keeps pulling out these Farscape DVDs, probably because he likes the colors on the DVD covers. We put them in the player, we watch about five minutes of advance footage, make our way to the opening credits, and then he hits the eject button and we must start all over again. He doesn't want to watch Farscape; he really only wants to play with the DVD player. Or at least that's all I can figure.

I saw a part of an episode tonight in which Ben Browder's wife, Francesca Buller appears. Ben Browder is the star of Farscape, in case you didn't know. His wife appears in several episodes, playing different diminutive characters more often than not, and always in heavy makeup and prosthetics. So I'm dying to know what she looks like in real life.

I appreciate the fact that there aren't any pictures of her on imdb, except for one small one in which she appears with her husband. I appreciate that their two children are unnamed to the press. I think that shows great sense and discretion. I can see that she is lovely and petite, and more importantly, she is a fine actress. Browder is an excellent actor as well, at least in his role as John Crichton. We've seen him once on an incarnation of Stargate, a show which we do not watch. Unfortunately we were unimpressed with what we saw there.
