Ouch, Trudy. Wish I knew what to suggest, other than going for a long walk yourself.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

If I only had a brain...
Carrie Ann Moss might disagree with the literal interpretation.
Is Carrie Ann Moss getting offers outside the genre ghetto?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We don't talk as much as we used to, so I couldn't tell you. She has worked outside the genre ghetto, so I'd assume some of them are offers.
I'd also assume she made decent bank.
Surely you're not saying that recurring SF movie roles are bad or always trumped by Broadway or other movies, though?

I'm saying that if you want to be taken seriously as a character actor, a recurring role in an SF show is not your best bet. You want to show versatility, and a recurring role is bad for that, and you want to be taken seriously, and an SF show is bad for that.
But, hey, I'm not in the industry; I could be talking through my hat.
I'll tell Carrie Ann she should be returning your calls.

Alan didn't opt out of a recurring role in a TV show, though.

But I already said that a recurring role in a movie based on SF tv is equivalent to a recurring role in the original TV show. None of the original Star Trek supporting actors is considered a movie star, even though they're in hit movies.

Okay, Carrie Ann Moss didn't opt out of a recurring role in a TV show. Since you were talking about her too, I thought we were talking about the literal interpretation ("Carrie Ann Moss might disagree with the literal interpretation."), not your clarified position.
I have no idea which point we're talking about now, to be honest, so I'll stop.

I'm pretty sure that movies-based-on-genre-TV (e.g. Star Trek) don't count for any more than the original TV.
I was talking about that.
edit: whoops, sorry, that was a clarification. My bad.

Alan was also in two big movies in 2004, Dodgeball and I, Robot. Combined with Spamalot, I'd say he's the most "going places" of the cast.
