Just let me lie here on the tile

If you want to see Michael Hurst in the New Zealand children's TV series Maddigan's Quest, you can either catch it on the BBC at 4:30 PM Mon-Thurs, or you can watch the first episode from the main website. It's a Flash site, so navigation is a bit tricky. Click on 'Enter Site', then click on the Maddigan's Quest logo at the top, then on 'Watch episode 1', and you'll get a choice of small and large files to watch. I wouldn't recommend it if you're on dialup, though.

If you click on 'Fantasia Campfire' you'll get short bios and videos of the main characters. Click on 'Pursuers' Camp' for a bio and video of the bad guys, including Michael Hurst.

Michael Hurst plays an evil, blackhaired android called Maska, and he appears for a short bit in part II of the first episode. I admit I haven't been watching the BBC eps, mostly because I'm just not organized to record a daily series on VCR anymore, and a little because I am shallow and want Hurst to play a swordwielding circus troupe character instead. Maska looks a little too much like Dahak.

Lots of familiar faces in that first episode - the actress who played the Amazon Ephiny on Xena has a major role. I'm pretty sure Yves is the thief in the Hercules episode A Star To Guide Them, and I think the big bald guy played at least one giant or strongman on Hercules.
