He's green in my head - because I think he should have been the grinch instead.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm normally a Jim Carrey fan, but that movie was awful. A Christopher Walken Grinch would have been interesting indeed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just went trolling through some more press, and have to laugh:
In this new sci--fi drama series, US Marshal Jack Carter and his daughter Zoe become stranded in a strange coastal town in the US that seems to be filled with scientific boffins. They soon find that dark forces are at work. The series, which stars Colin Ferguson, Jordan Hinson and Matt Frewer has been a cult hit in the US.
Sunday Independent (UK)
The show borrows from Northern Exposure, Twin Peaks, maybe the corporate drama Profit too many to gauge how it'll develop. But Ferguson has the right tone of bone--tired disbelief.

They come from beyond: TV stars that won't die

Ferguson represents the new guard of plucky performers on TV. The actor, coming off a major misstep as a co--star on the failed U.S. version of "Coupling," will appear on new SciFi series "Eureka." Already, he's building buzz as a handsome U.S. marshal who ends up in a mysterious town populated by government scientists.
Chicago Tribune
But it's not the predictable ordinary town/extraordinary circumstances that make "Eureka" click. It's Colin Ferguson, an actor with soap--opera good looks, impeccable comic timing and a resume of sitcom misses (one word: "Coupling").
Chicago Tribune
Ferguson's approach is fluid and funny enough to make it all work. He approaches the role as a cross between Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood, with a mixture of laconic energy that somehow fits the role perfectly.
Daily News
Bruce Willis! Profit! Cult hit!
Good stuff.

How oxymoronically amusing.

I don't get any sort of resemblance to Profit. Not even close.
