The heavy is John Saxon. He plays a lot of bad guys and even the
occasional good guy. He has been in a lot of SF (good and bad). The
first ones that come to mind are _Planet Earth_, _Genesis II_ and a
third one that I can't remember the name of. They all deal with a
post-holocaust (sp?) world where the only technical and peaceful
group left is called Pax. Not bad movies on the whole. A little
standard on the plots but worth a couple hours on saturday
afternoon.
Sorry, but Saxon was NOT in Genesis II. This was another Roddenberry
pilot which starred Alex Cord. Planet Earth was the second pilot, with
Saxon replacing Cord as Dylan Hunt, a relic (via suspended animation) of
the twentieth century.
