John Crichton on Farscape. Col. Cameron Mitchell in Stargate SG-1. That makes two iconic roles for Ben Browder. Now we hear we’re soon going to see him as a noir detective in the year 2030 in theweb series Naught for Hire. Can the sci-fi lightning strike three times?

The 13-part series is being filmed this summer, but there’s no word yet on when it will run.
