Asfaloth writes: I don’t know if anyone else is a fan of the NBC Time Traveler show “Journeyman,” but I was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face on last night’s episode. None other than John Noble! His character is as yet uncredited on the IMDB, but it appears that he’ll be a series regular.
And yet there’s another “Lord of the Rings” tie to this show. “RINGERS: LORD OF THE FANS” Dorm Girl #1 Brittany Ishibashi played Melissa Waters on the episode entitled “The Year of the Rabbit.” I hope that John will be appearing on future episodes – it’s a pretty good show.
