Hey! Nialla42! I have that Hewlett link for you re:Sanctuary!

Hey!  Nialla42! I have that link for you about Tapping's Sanctuary re: where Hewlett denies "rumors" that he is a recurring character. He's pretty definite about it.

And I hope I don't break any netiquette doing this, but here's the direct quote from his webpage. Seems like the PTB of Sanctuary are trying to get Hewlett fans involved in the show - in an underhanded manner, by claiming that he's "recurring".

"Now a few Rumor Kills...

First off, yes I am a part of Sanctuary, but no I am not a regular or a recurring character. I had the pleasure of playing, what I would call a cameo (others would call it a bit part) as a nasty serial killer with a bad attitude. Kavan was there with me and he makes a great hard nose cop (really, he has a very hard nose) It's two scenes and is NOT several episodes as has been reported elsewhere (it's not their fault, they were just a little quick on counting me in without counting on my schedule... as Bob Hope said "if I had my life to live again, I wouldn't have time to do it"). 

Funny how, if it's a mistake and TPTB jumped the gun, that they're still insisting on their casting lists to the press and GW that Hewlett is, indeed, playing a recurring role. Hmm. Do they think Tapping's not enough of a draw?

Hoping or not, it makes them out as opportunistic liars. You don't claim someone is going to be in a show before the deal is hammered out.

The reason Hewlett is going on line (IMO) and saying this, is so that HE doesn't end up looking like the asshole and bad guy actor if it doesn't turn out to be true.
