Quiet Midwesterner or Galactic Warrior?

Terah and I have become big fans of the SciFi channel series Stargate SG-1. It’s an excellent show.

But there’s something uncanny — one of the characters on the show, Jacob Carter, closely resembles a person I used to work for, Marty Morrow. I notice this every time Jacob Carter appears on Stargate SG-1. Is it a coincidence? Maybe. You decide!
